Mofusand, the cat character series by illustrator Jyuno, has been rapidly expanding its merchandise footprint through a series of collaborations and product lines in mid-2026. The brand has partnered with major names including Sanrio, Ultraman, Uniqlo, and the coffee chain Kissako, each producing limited-edition goods that blend mofusand's signature sparkly-eyed cats with other iconic properties.
Bandai released the fourth installment of the mofusand Mejirushi Accessory gashapon series in late July 2026, featuring cats wearing bread-themed costumes such as Melon Bread and Croissant. The Ultraman collaboration, marking the franchise's 60th anniversary, launched a regular edition of Kiramekko plushies on July 10, 2026, with cats dressed as Ultraman, Alien Baltan, and Pigmon; three more characters are planned for later release. A separate Sanrio collaboration plush line, depicting mofusand cats in costumes of Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Pompompurin, Cinnamoroll, and Pochacco, went on sale July 17, 2026.
Uniqlo released a four-design UT collection on June 19, 2026, with a camping and outdoors theme. The first collaboration with Kissako offered a summer bag set available for pre-order until July 1 and in-store from July 2 through September 30. Mofusand also appeared in the multi-property vintage-style T-shirt line "Talking about Rock," which launched early sales on July 1 and general release on July 17, 2026, alongside 13 other character and nostalgic sweets brands.
