A 100-yen chain's internal mascot is now merchandise for crane game cabinets, a route that puts DAISO's brand in front of arcade players without a retail register involved.

SK Japan is releasing amusement prizes based on Daizo, DAISO's official character, at amusement facilities nationwide. The Daizo BIG Plush stands about 30cm and is scheduled for late October 2026. The Daizo Mascot line comes in four types at about 10cm, scheduled for mid-December 2026. Both are amusement-exclusive prizes, not for sale, with installation timing varying by store.
Daizo is DAISO's official character, created in 2025 and modeled on an elephant described as a DAISO staff member of everyone's town. The prizes reproduce the character's rounded shape and the pochette shaped like DAISO's D.
The mascots carry ball chains and come in several expressions and poses, sized for carrying around. SK Japan lists one BIG plush type and four mascot types. Both releases are amusement-exclusive, so they are not sold in stores, and the timing of installation differs by location. DAISO asks that people not contact its stores about the prizes.
