Kirby kendama toy seeing release in Japan

Nintendo and HAL have released an incredible amount of Kirby merch, especially in Japan. Yet another Kirby-branded item has been revealed for our friends in Japan, and this one is quite unique.

Ensky has revealed that they’re working on a “Kirby Of The Stars” kendama. For those who don’t know, the kendama is a traditional Japanese skill toy. It consists of a handle, a pair of cups, and a ball that are all connected together by a string. On one end of the ken is a cup, while the other end of ken is narrowed down, forming a spike that fits into the hole of the tama.

The Kirby-themed kendama will launch in Japan sometime in September 2023.
