Bandai Namco Filmworks announced that it will hold “Kuroko’s Basketball POP UP STORE -The World of Tarot-” for a limited time at Tokyo Anime Center on the 2nd floor of Shibuya MODI from Friday, June 5 to Sunday, June 21, 2026. The event features newly drawn illustrations themed around “tarot,” which became a topic of discussion as part of the official Kuroko’s Basketball anime April Fools’ project in 2026. Kuroko and other characters are depicted as Major Arcana cards such as The Hermit, Strength, The Chariot, and Wheel of Fortune. A wide range of original merchandise using both the full-size newly drawn illustrations and newly created chibi character illustrations will be available at the event. In addition, customers who spend 3,000 yen or more including tax per transaction at the venue can participate in a lottery to win original bonuses such as tarot-style acrylic stands. EPOS Card holders can receive one additional lottery draw. Every draw wins a prize, and bonuses are available while supplies last. The event will be held at Tokyo Anime Center, Shibuya MODI 2F, 1-21-3 Jinnan, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. The event period is June 5 to June 21, 2026, with opening hours from 11:00 to 19:00. To allow more customers to purchase items, purchase limits will apply per transaction: up to 20 random items and up to 3 open-package items. These limits may change. Lottery prizes include Prize A: tarot-style acrylic stands, available in 10 types with selectable characters while supplies last; Prize B: a complete set of 10 bromides; and Prize C: one randomly distributed bromide from 10 types. A special birthday campaign for Ryota Kise will be held from Saturday, June 13 to Sunday, June 21, 2026, to celebrate his birthday on June 18. Customers who spend 3,000 yen or more including tax and say “Happy Birthday, Kise!” at the register will receive one special birthday-version Ryota Kise bromide. This bonus is separate from the lottery prizes, is limited in quantity, and is limited to one per person. For entry, from June 5 to June 7, 2026, numbered shuffle-entry tickets will be distributed at the Tokyo Anime Center entrance on the 2nd floor after Shibuya MODI opens in order to reduce congestion. Tickets are scheduled to be distributed from 11:00 to 11:05, and lottery results will be announced around 11:20 at the Tokyo Anime Center entrance and on the official Tokyo Anime Center X account, @anime_tokyo. Visitors should return at the designated time based on their ticket number. Groups wishing to enter together will be guided according to the latest assigned time among their ticket numbers. From Monday, June 8 onward, visitors should go directly to Tokyo Anime Center on the 2nd floor of Shibuya MODI. Depending on crowd conditions, entry restrictions or numbered entry tickets may still be implemented. Latest updates will be announced through the relevant X accounts and the Tokyo Anime Center official X account. For online sales, reservations for event merchandise will be accepted through Bandai Namco Filmworks’ official online store A-on STORE from noon on Monday, June 8 to 23:59 on Sunday, June 21, 2026. Customers who purchase 3,000 yen or more including tax of eligible event items in a single transaction on A-on STORE will receive one exclusive postcard bonus, included with the shipped products. Deliveries are scheduled to begin sequentially from mid-September 2026. Online purchase limits are up to 10 random items and up to 5 open-package items per transaction.
