[Manekineko x Pokémon 30th Anniversary] Karaoke Manekineko, with 700 Stores in 45 Prefectures Nationwide, Becomes a Pokémon Stage! ~First Ever! "Pokémon with 'Neko' or 'Nya' in their Name and Their Friends" Gather!~

Karaoke Manekineko, operated by Koshidaka Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Koshidaka Holdings Co., Ltd. (Tokyo Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Hiroshi Koshi), has decided on a collaboration project with "Pokémon 30th Anniversary." This time, to allow Pokémon fans not only in metropolitan areas but also nationwide to enjoy, we will fully leverage our infrastructure network, which boasts the No. 1 number of karaoke chain stores, and deploy it on an overwhelming scale of 45 prefectures and approximately 700 stores. A never-before-seen entertainment experience will be realized with a grand gathering of "Pokémon with 'Neko' or 'Nya' in their name and their friends," inspired by the name "Manekineko." Details of this project are scheduled to be announced in April 2026. ## ■ Gathering "Pokémon with 'Neko' or 'Nya' and Their Friends" with the Theme of "Singing"! The latest featured theme for Pokémon's 30th anniversary is "Singing." In line with this theme, a special collaboration will be realized, merging the joy of singing with the world of Pokémon. In honor of "Manekineko," we will develop an original project for the first time in Pokémon history, featuring a grand gathering of "Pokémon with 'Neko' or 'Nya' in their name and their friends." Special collaboration rooms are also being prepared, which will transform usual karaoke rooms into extraordinary "entertainment spaces" adorned with beloved Pokémon across generations. These collaboration rooms will be rolled out across "all 45 prefectures" for the first time in Manekineko's history, and we are preparing projects incorporating karaoke-specific songs, as well as other plans that Pokémon fans nationwide can enjoy. We will provide a nearby thrill that allows immersion in the world of Pokémon. ## ■ With Pokémon! A "Clean Space" Where Families Can Feel Truly at Ease "Karaoke Manekineko" was one of the first karaoke chains to introduce "all rooms non-smoking," pursuing the creation of a clean space where families with small children can spend time safely and comfortably without worrying about others. Within this safe and secure environment, parents and children can create new memories together without hesitation, alongside Pokémon. Furthermore, "free bringing-in" is synonymous with Karaoke Manekineko. Not only can you bring your favorite drinks and snacks, but you can also bring your cherished Pokémon goods to create your own "favorite space" ambiance. ## ■ Special Website URL Pokémon 30th Anniversary Collaboration Special Page: https://collabo.karaokemanekineko.jp/list/pokemon_30th ## About Pokémon 30th Anniversary Pokémon celebrated its 30th anniversary today since the release of "Pokémon Red and Green" on February 27, 1996.
