WIND BREAKER is running a scheduled merchandising and collaboration slate through fall 2026. Pre-orders for the earth music&ecology Japan Label apparel collection opened September 18, 2026, and the Gokurakuyu and RAKU SPA bathhouse campaign runs October 1 to October 20, 2026.
WIND BREAKER's 2026 output is a run of collaborations and merchandise rather than new animation. From May through October the series attached its name and cast to pop-up stores, cafes, karaoke chains, a lottery, a bathhouse campaign, and an apparel line. Baseyard Tokyo's early summer popup opened May 29 with nine characters in casual summer outfits across seven stores. Kinokuniya Shinjuku held a CloverWorks pop-up from June 3 to June 16 with existing goods and reproduction original drawings.

A NeCoLabo Cafe butler collaboration ran July 7 to August 4 in Ikebukuro, with six characters in butler outfits. The WIND BREAKER -SUMMER WIND VACATION- event ran July 17 to August 16 at eight leisure facilities, with collaboration tickets at 220 yen plus admission. A Sunset Resort Cafe with Collab Cafe Honpo followed from August 7 to September 13 in Akihabara and Osaka Nipponbashi, showing the Bofurin in vacation wear.
Fall shifted to retail and service tie-ins. A SEGA Lucky Kuji Online lottery ran from July 3 to August 24 at 770 yen per play with a Neo Decora theme. The third Manekineko karaoke collaboration ran August 27 to October 4 with seven characters in new summer art and 57 participating stores. On September 13, Gokurakuyu and RAKU SPA scheduled a bathhouse campaign for October 1 to October 20 with newly drawn goods, a themed menu, and five character-inspired baths. The earth music&ecology Japan Label collection put 13 item types up for pre-order from September 18 to October 5, with delivery set for mid-to-late January 2027.
Separately, the live-action WIND BREAKER film was booked for an international premiere at the 30th Fantasia International Film Festival, which runs July 16 to August 2 in Montreal. CloverWorks sold studio merchandise at the WIND BREAKER x RED° TOKYO TOWER event, which ran April 3 to May 6 with script-style notebooks and can badges featuring after-recording script cover illustrations by director Toshifumi Akai and character designer and chief animation director Taishi Kawakami.
