The Korean SNS character snackanimals — recognized for its blocky silhouette and relaxed expression — is getting its first-ever line of arcade prize merchandise. Starting June 12, 2026 (Friday), items will roll out at amusement facilities across Japan and through online crane game platforms.
Originally from Korea, snackanimals has been building a following among people in their teens and twenties in Japan. LINE stickers launched domestically in July 2025 helped raise the character's profile, and it was subsequently named in the "2026 Trends to Watch, Chosen by Gen Z" character category — a ranking published by SHIBUYA109 Entertainment Co., Ltd. in December 2025.
