In 2021, the “One Piece” anime series reached its 1,000th episode milestone, and the original manga has now exceeded 100 volumes. The franchise celebrated its 25th anniversary in July 2022, and a live-action drama adaptation titled “ONE PIECE” by Netflix is set to premiere in 2023.

The campaign features 10 new illustrations of “One Piece” characters exclusively drawn by illustrator Chocomoo.

In addition, by purchasing “Kocha Kaden” (including region-exclusive products) between April 24 and July 2, over 10,000 customers will win a “Tea Time Set (10 types)”, “Anker Portable Speaker (with pouch)”, and other items featuring “One Piece” characters. The number of items purchased will determine the prizes awarded on the spot with over 10,000 winners expected.
