The North Star was an important symbol for the Chiba clan. Through the Hokushin Shinkō religion, which deified the North Star as the bodhisattva Myōken, the star helped to connect the various branches of the family scattered throughout Japan. The North Star and the rest of the Big Dipper constellation also have a key role in the Fist of the North Star story. Therefore, the collaboration celebrates the celestial connection between the Chiba clan and franchise.

Celebrating a clan's connection to the Big Dipper and Polaris (North Star) is quite an interesting celebration.
