葛飾北斎×初音ミク Rella

The Katsushika Hokusai x Hatsune Miku Rella collaboration is in its second run, with original Rella illustrations covering Miku, Rin, Len, Luka, MEIKO, and KAITO and merchandise that includes clear files, acrylic stands, canvas art, and trading items. A Nendoroid using Rella's Hokusai design releases in April 2027 for 8,500 yen.

Synthesized from 13 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 21

The second Katsushika Hokusai x Hatsune Miku Rella project launched with original illustrations by Rella, covering Miku, Rin, Len, Luka, MEIKO, and KAITO. The merchandise line includes clear files, acrylic stands, canvas art, and trading items. It follows an earlier Hokusai and Miku collaboration.

The collaboration has moved into standard figure retail. A Hatsune Miku Nendoroid with a design by Rella, part of the project, draws on "Under the Wave off Kanagawa" from Hokusai's "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji." It includes three face plates and a brush among its optional parts, and Good Smile Company releases it in April 2027 for 8,500 yen.

Rella's work for Hatsune Miku extends past the Hokusai project. A 1/7 scale figure based on the main visual Rella drew for the Hatsune Miku Symphony 2025 Yokohama and Kobe performances is up for preorder on Rakuten Books. The G.S.Collection release from Good Smile Company lists a reference price of 55,000 yen and a Rakuten sale price of 54,497 yen, with hair sculpting described as the largest in the series' history.

Other Miku figure releases are moving through the same channels. Pre-orders are open on Amazon Japan for a rerelease of the Hatsune Miku Happy 16th Birthday Ver. Nendoroid from Good Smile Arts Shanghai, priced at 9,222 yen and shipping in November 2026 with three face parts, a birthday cake, and a replica of Miku's software packaging.
