Death Note's merchandise line is active across gashapon, lottery, and apparel, with the second Ichiban Kuji run opening January 16, 2027 and a London staging of the musical running at the Barbican Centre. The second Comics Charm Collection gashapon shipped in the second week of September 2026.
Death Note merchandise moved through three separate Bandai lines in the second half of 2026. The Swaddle Mascot Charm gashapon arrived in the second week of August with Light Yagami, L, Misa Amane, Near, and Mello at 400 yen per play, followed by the second Comics Charm Collection gashapon, 12 types covering volumes 7 through 12 with two acrylic designs per volume at 400 yen each, in the second week of September. In between, BANDAI SPIRITS opened the prize list for Ichiban Kuji DEATH NOTE 2, revealing the C-prize Near figure and D-prize Mello figure ahead of the rest.
The lottery does the heavy lifting on character coverage. Ichiban Kuji DEATH NOTE 2 releases sequentially from January 16, 2027, at 850 yen per draw, with A, B, and E through I prizes, the Last One Prize, and the Double Chance Campaign still hidden. Announced initially on the Ichiban Kuji Club site on August 27 and re-revealed with Near and Mello figure details on August 29, the line reaches antagonists from the manga's second half rather than the Light and L pairing that anchored the first installment. Store handling may vary and supplies end when they run out; the figures and other details are subject to change without notice.
Apparel and stage activity ran in parallel. WEGO released a collection on June 26 that included 10 types of printed T-shirts, sheer long-sleeve T-shirts, caps, socks, and a bandana, sold at WEGO stores nationwide. Death Note: The Musical opened July 30 at London's Barbican Centre for 50 performances through September 12, with Xander Pang as Light Yagami and Telly Leung as Ryuk, songs by Frank Wildhorn, and a run in Japan and South Korea in 2015. A full cast announcement on June 16 named Colin Ryan as L and Stephanie Zaharis as Misa Amane, and cited a revised script, new songs, and plans for a Broadway transfer.

Manga artist Kentaro Yabuki, known for "To LOVE-Ru" and "Ayakashi Triangle," opened a personal X account on May 28, 2026. The account, named "Kentaro Yabuki side," is intended for casual personal updates and hobby illustrations, separate from his official Shueisha-affiliated account "Kentaro Yabuki Info." In his first post, he shared an illustration of Lala Satalin Deviluke from "To LOVE-Ru." The post received over 50,000 likes as of May 29. A second illustration followed after Yabuki noticed a typo in his initial post: he had mistakenly written the official account's handle as "@yabukiLinfo" instead of "@yabuki_info." To acknowledge the error, he posted a fan art of L from "Death Note," the series by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. His follower count reached 110,000 shortly after the account went live. Fans responded with enthusiasm, with comments praising the unexpected Death Note artwork and encouraging him to draw more characters from that series.
