HIKAKIN is a YouTuber whose branded products ONICHA and MISOKIN have driven category sales at Seven-Eleven, and whose collaboration with the game Meccha Chameleon added a map themed around him and his brother. He has announced a new curry flavor of MISOKIN launching at Seven-Eleven on July 26.
HIKAKIN's product lines and media collaborations have expanded in 2026. In April, his ONICHA and MISOKIN products launched at Seven-Eleven and took the top share in their categories within a week. Purchase data showed they attracted new demographics and were bought together at twice the normal rate, a pattern a research firm called fan-driven consumption.
In July, Meccha Chameleon, a drawing hide-and-seek game that sold over 15 million copies on Steam within a month of its June 2026 launch, added an official collaboration map called HIKAKIN Museum. The map includes photos of HIKAKIN and his brother SEIKIN, items such as misokin and ONICHA, and special collaboration-exclusive gimmicks. The update also added region tags and controller support. The collaboration had been teased under the label "collaboration with a famous Japanese person."
Days later, HIKAKIN announced Curry MISOKIN, a curry flavor of the cup ramen that has sold over 60 million servings. The flavor originated from a curry powder condiment served at the MISOKIN physical store, which HIKAKIN recreated with Nissin Foods after tasting each spice individually. The product, along with a rice version Curry MISOKIN Meshi, will launch at Seven-Eleven on July 26.
