Moyashimon Ichiban Kuji Has Oryzae Plush Cosplaying as Yūki

The Japanese character goods maker Banpresto will offer Moyashimon prizes in its Ichiban Kuji lottery line in late November — including a plush A. Oryzae figure cosplaying as the popular character Kei Yūki from the manga. People who want the prizes must buy 500-yen (about US$6) tickets and hope they win. LIBRO's Ikebukuro store, Namco's Namja Town theme park, and Kinokuniya's Hankyu 32-Bangai store will hold advance sales on November 19.

People who buy 1,000 yen (about US$13) or more from those three stores offering advance sales will receve a free limited Moyashimon shopper's bag. LIBRO's Ikebukuro store will also offer those buyers 100 chances to attend a signing by the original manga creator Masayuki Ishikawa.

Namja Town will hold a live painting event with Masayuki Ishikawa. Both LIBRO and Namja Town will display original and reproduced drawings by Ishikawa, as well as recreations of the manga's bar and Hiyoshi Liquor Shop.

Del Rey Manga once published the manga in North America, and Funimation and DramaFever.com streamed the live-action television version. There is also a television anime version.
