Jinjabukkaku Online Inc. (Head office: Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture) will hold a user-participation event "Klesha Festival" starting April 1, 2026, in its browser game "Klesha Shooting".
In this event, the general public is invited to submit "Klesha" names (within three Kanji characters) based on the theme of "modern kleshas". Among the submissions, those selected by judges, including monks and active members of the entertainment industry, will be implemented as enemy characters in the game.
Background of the "Klesha Festival"
Until now, "Klesha Shooting" has featured nearly 30 kleshas, which are common Buddhist terms, as enemy characters. However, with the idea of "Why not make it a creative wordplay contest like Salaryman Senryu?", we decided to hold this project to recruit klesha names that will become enemy characters.
In Buddhism, mental functions that cause human suffering are called "kleshas". However, in modern society, their forms have changed significantly.
SNS fatigue, desire for approval, information overload—
By visualizing the "new kleshas" that change with the times in the form of a game, we aim to create an opportunity for people to confront their own minds while having fun. With this in mind, we are implementing this project.

・Event Name: Klesha Festival
・Application Period: April 2 (Thu) to April 21 (Tue), 2026
