V Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and CEO: Kota Fujiwara, hereinafter "V"), which plans, develops, and operates social infrastructure in virtual spaces, has planned and produced 3D costumes, accessories, and a special world for VRChat to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the IP "Kateika no Dragon" (Home Economics Dragon). This IP is managed by Sunward Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Osaka, Representative Director: Ichiro Ueda, hereinafter "Sunward"), which also develops characters including "Little Bobdog."
Sales of 3D costumes and accessories for avatars will begin on the avatar-focused sales platform "BOOTH" from 9:00 PM on Friday, May 8, 2026, and the special VRChat world will be released on the same day.
■ "That Dragon" comes to VRChat. Relive memories in a virtual space.
"Kateika no Dragon," developed by Sunward, is a design series that has been loved as a motif for sewing kits and knapsacks in elementary and junior high schools. This IP, celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2026, still boasts high recognition as a "nostalgic dragon" that remains in the memories of many people across generations.
This initiative celebrates the 25th anniversary of "Kateika no Dragon" by deploying 3D costumes, accessories, and a special world for VRChat. By re-creating the familiar designs from real-world school supplies into an experience where users can wear them, gather, and take photos in a virtual space, the aim is to create new brand touchpoints.
While using nostalgia as an entry point, this project provides experiences that lead to interaction and self-expression within VRChat, delivering the world of "Kateika no Dragon" not only to users who have long been familiar with it but also to new users encountered in the virtual space.
