The first installment of the “Taito Kuji” lottery featuring the popular volleyball anime “Haikyu!!” is coming to Japan. Starting Saturday, May 2, 2026, the “Taito Kuji Haikyu!! Karasuno High VS Aoba Johsai High” will be released sequentially at FamilyMart, one of Japan’s leading convenience store (Konbini) chains (excluding some locations).
This lottery is themed around the intense rivalry between “Karasuno High” and “Aoba Johsai High.” Featuring a “no-lose” drawing system, participants are guaranteed to win high-quality items popular among fans in Japan, including exquisite figures, adorable mascots, and acrylic stands with exclusive illustrations.
Destined Rivals Stand Together! High-Presence Realistic Figures
The main items for this release are the large-scale figures for the A and B Prizes. Their high quality recreates the tension of the volleyball court, making them perfect for any collection.
A Prize: Tobio Kageyama Figure
Karasuno High’s “Genius Setter,” Tobio Kageyama, has been brought to life in an impressive size of approximately 20 cm (7.9 inches). Every detail, from his sharp gaze during a match and the movement of his fingertips as he handles the ball to the texture of his uniform, has been meticulously recreated. It comes with a dedicated pedestal, so it’s ready to be displayed immediately.
B Prize: Toru Oikawa Figure
The B Prize features Toru Oikawa, the captain of Aoba Johsai High. Also standing at approximately 20 cm (7.9 inches), it captures his charisma and fearless smirk. Displaying him alongside the A Prize Kageyama allows you to recreate the showdown between these two legendary rivals.
Removable Jackets! Sitting Mascots Perfect for Outings
The C and D Prizes are “Sitting Mascots” measuring approximately 12 cm (4.7 inches) that can be perched anywhere. They are the perfect size for “Nui-katsu” (the Japanese subculture of taking plushies on outings) and for taking photos at cafes.
C Prize: Sitting Mascots ~Karasuno High~
From Karasuno High, Shoyo Hinata, Tobio Kageyama, and Kei Tsukishima make their appearance. The standout feature is that their track jackets are removable. This unique design allows you to enjoy them in two different looks: their match uniforms or their tracksuits.
D Prize: Sitting Mascots ~Aoba Johsai High~
The Aoba Johsai High lineup includes Toru Oikawa, Hajime Iwaizumi, and Akira Kunimi. Fans can enjoy the iconic Oikawa and Iwaizumi duo, as well as the uniquely stoic Kunimi. These also feature removable jackets for extra fun.
Swaying Motion and Fluffy Textures! Lifestyle Items to Brighten Your Desk
Even the mid-to-lower tier prizes showcase the attention to detail typical of Japanese convenience store lotteries. These items feature designs that are easy to use in everyday life.
E Prize: Swaying Acrylic Stand
These acrylic stands (6 types in total) feature Taito’s original chibi-style illustrations. When set on their base, the characters sway back and forth. Standing at about 9 cm (3.5 inches) when assembled, they are perfect for decorating your desk. Note: These are blind-packaged, so the contents are a surprise.
F Prize: Fluffy Button Badge
These badges (8 types in total) are made from soft fabric, giving them a pleasant texture. At approximately 7.5 cm (3.0 inches) in diameter, they have a strong presence when attached to a bag. The warm texture enhances the charm of the characters. Note: These are blind-packaged.
G Prize: Flight Tag
This keychain series comes in a wide variety of 18 types. The front features the character’s name and jersey number, while the back displays the “team banner” that symbolizes each school’s spirit. At approximately 12 cm (4.7 inches) long, they are highly practical items. Note: These are blind-packaged.
