Pre-order Period: Wednesday, April 22, 2026, 11:00 AM ~ Wednesday, June 17, 2026, 10:00 PM
■ Raised Over 27 Million Yen in Overseas Crowdfunding
Prior to the Makuake project, a pre-order sales project was conducted on the US crowdfunding platform "Kickstarter," where it garnered support totaling $167,615 (over 25 million yen) from 2452 backers.
■ Product Features
1. Latest USB PD 3.1 Standard Compatible, Achieving Ultra-Fast Charging up to 240W
This product supports the latest charging standard "USB Power Delivery 3.1 (USB PD 3.1)" and supports an output of up to 240W. It enables full-speed charging for smartphones, tablets, and even high-power-consuming high-end laptops, maximizing device potential. It also supports high-speed data transfer at 480Mbps.
*Note: To achieve power delivery up to 240W, the connected device and charger (sold separately) must be compatible with the USB PD 3.1 standard.
2. Built-in Cutter Inside the Cap for Precise Opening and Cutting Tasks
The cap that protects the connector houses a small titanium alloy cutter. It can instantly respond to a wide range of "cutting" needs, such as opening tape on packages, cutting clothing tags, or simple cuts during camping. The blade material is high-strength, corrosion-resistant (rust-resistant) titanium alloy, maintaining its sharp edge over long periods. For safety, the blade length is designed to be approximately 1.05cm, achieving an optimal size that prevents accidental injuries while supporting tasks.
3. Oil and Gas-Free Lighter Function for Fire Starting in Disasters and Outdoors
Inside the other connector, a heat-ignition type lighter is integrated. When used, it draws power from a smartphone or mobile battery, eliminating concerns about oil or gas depletion common in conventional lighters. It employs a heat-ignition system that is less affected by wind, allowing for easy ignition of tinder like hemp rope outdoors. It's useful for camping and functions as a disaster preparedness tool in emergencies.
*Caution: The ignition function is only compatible with mobile batteries and smartphones that support OTG power supply (reverse charging).
4. Foldable Compact Design of Approximately 10cm, Achieving High Portability
When folded, this product measures approximately 10cm and weighs just 35g, featuring an ultra-compact design. It eliminates the usual hassle of storing conventional USB cables, making it "light to carry" in any situation. To ensure long-term daily use, it utilizes durable liquid silicone and has passed over 30,000 bend tests. The built-in magnet allows for one-touch fixation, enabling it to be smoothly stored in backpack attachments, pouches, or clothing pockets. Having it always at hand when needed allows for the utilization of all functions – charging, cutting, and ignition – with minimal action.
