NIKKE in Kyoto Returns with Tower Lighting and a Kyo-Yuzen Kimono
The collaboration is built on local craft rather than game content alone: a Kyoto tower lit in a character's color, a months-long Kyo-Yuzen commission, and exhibitions running through November 10 tie the campaign to the city's traditional industry.

Level Infinite and Shift Up held a press conference and lighting ceremony at Kyoto Station Building on September 14, 2026, for the second NIKKE in Kyoto collaboration under the auspices of Kyoto City. Nidec Kyoto Tower was lit in yellow for the character Anis: Star. Cosplayer Moe Iori unveiled a custom Anis: Star kimono made with the Kyoto Hand-Drawn Yuzen Cooperative Association, and voice actress Natsumi Murakami received a framed Arcana-pattern dyed picture.
The ceremony ran from 18:00 to 18:40 at Karasuma Koji Plaza on the fourth floor of the Kyoto Station Building. Speakers included voice actress Natsumi Murakami, who plays Arcana, cosplayer Moe Iori, and Dai Kusaki of the Kyoto City Tourism and Industry Bureau, with Tomoko Misaki as MC and an Anis: Star mascot costume on stage.
After a countdown from the speakers and the crowd, Nidec Kyoto Tower turned yellow, a color taken from Anis: Star. The campaign describes gold as long favored in Kyoto for traditional crafts and architecture. The custom kimono, recreated by craftsmen over several months, will be shown at the Kyoto Museum of Traditional Crafts from September 15 to 20, then at MEGA NIKKE STORE KYOTO in BiVi Nijo until the campaign ends on November 10.
