Mizuno is launching its first-ever e-sports gear, including a gaming chair and a gaming controller. As a collaboration with 'Street Fighter 6,' Mizuno will release three products: the 'Gaming Chair -Hagibis-' and 'Gaming Controller -Hagibis-' featuring the character Juri, and the 'Blanka-chan Buruburu Borurecchi' massager inspired by the character Blanka. Pre-orders will start on the crowdfunding service 'Makuake' on May 1, 2026, at 8:00 AM (delivery expected in mid-July 2026).
As a comprehensive sports equipment manufacturer, Mizuno has developed products alongside numerous athletes across various sports. Moving forward, Mizuno will leverage this expertise to develop e-sports gear focused on the unique body movement mechanisms of gamers.
### Features of 'Gaming Chair -Hagibis-'
* **Highly Adjustable Armrests:** Gamers have different postures, such as placing the controller on the armrests or on their lap. This chair features armrests that adjust in height and position and can rotate 360 degrees to support various play styles.
* **Breathable and Durable Mesh Material:** To prevent stuffiness during long sessions, the chair uses a breathable yet durable mesh material, supporting a comfortable sitting environment.
* **Full Range of Adjustment Functions:** Includes a 3D adjustable headrest, 2-stage adjustable lumbar support, adjustable seat pan, backrest height, reclining, and a footrest to fit various body types.
* **Juri-Designed Headrest:** The headrest features a design of Juri from 'Street Fighter 6.'
### Features of 'Gaming Controller -Hagibis-'
* **Asymmetric Ergonomic Design:** Unlike typical flat controllers, this one features a convex shape on the left side and a concave shape on the right. This supports precise command inputs for the left hand and flexible button movement for the right hand.
* **Separated Button Layout:** By separating the button positions to the left and right, the design prevents a hunched posture, making it easier to open the chest and play for longer periods without fatigue.
* **Juri-Designed Buttons:** Two buttons on the right side feature Juri-inspired designs.
### Features of 'Blanka-chan Buruburu Borurecchi'
This is the first vibrating type in the 'Borurecchi' series. Long-pressing the button on Blanka's right hand activates vibrations. It can be used while sitting to refresh parts of the body that tend to get stiff, such as the chest, neck, and shoulders. It can also be used for training arms and legs without vibration.
### Trial Locations
The gear can be experienced at the Mizuno booth during 'EVO JAPAN 2026' at Tokyo Big Sight (May 1-3, 2026). Additionally, the chair will be permanently installed at esports Style UENO starting May 1.
