Ichiban Kuji merchandise
Ichiban Kuji (一番くじ Ichiban Kuji) is a Japanese retailer and monthly lottery game run by a division of Bandai Spirits. There have been four Kingdom Hearts Ichiban Kuji lottery collaborations made up of exclusive officially-licensed merchandise.
The first lottery game, Ichiban Kuji Kingdom Hearts, was held in December 2018 to celebrate the upcoming release of Kingdom Hearts III. The second, Ichiban Kuji Kingdom Hearts ~Second Memory~, was held in November 2020. The third lottery, Ichiban Kuji Kingdom Hearts ~20th Anniversary~, was held in July 2022 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Kingdom Hearts series. The fourth round, Ichiban Kuji Kingdom Hearts -Linking Hearts-, is scheduled for May 2024.
Each round of lotteries featured eight or nine unique prizes, including a special Last One prize. Each lottery also had a Double Chance Promotion, in which a specific prize (typically Prize A) would be given out in an extra round of lottery draws. While some of the merchandise would be later sold through online retailers such as AmiAmi and Aitai Kuji, many of the products remain exclusive to the limited-time lottery events.
