The anime "Fist of the North Star -FIST OF THE NORTH STAR-" and Japanese entertainment chain ROUND1 are collaborating from May 29 to August 30, 2026. The campaign includes themed food and drink menus, limited-edition novelties like acrylic coasters and visual mats, collaboration packs for bowling and karaoke, crane game prizes, and decorated rooms at select stores. The collaboration runs in two phases across 93 to 100 stores nationwide.
The collaboration runs in two 47-day phases. From May 29 to July 14, ordering a collaboration menu at any of 93 bowling, karaoke, Spocha, billiards, or darts stores earns an acrylic coaster; from July 15 to August 30, the novelty switches to a pop-up coaster. Collaboration packs, sold at 98 bowling stores, 93 karaoke stores, 55 Spocha stores, 47 billiards stores, and 75 darts stores, come with B4 visual mats that change design between the two phases.
At 100 ROUND1 stores, inserting 500 yen into a designated crane game guarantees an original A5 clear file. Three stores-DiverCity Tokyo Plaza, Sennenmae, and Chofu Ekimae-will also sell capsule toys. The DiverCity Tokyo Plaza and Sennenmae locations will feature collaboration rooms decorated with motifs from the new series. At 98 bowling stores, the score display monitor can be set to a collaboration theme, and a score registration campaign offers another A5 clear file for two-game scores above a threshold.
