Japanese health product brand TANITA might be an 80-year-old veteran, but they've been making waves with younger audiences thanks to recent collaborations with popular game and anime IPs. Think hit mobile game Blue Archive and SNK's The King of Fighters – these partnerships have definitely boosted their street cred.
Now, TANITA is teaming up with Hirohiko Araki's iconic series, "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," to drop a voice-activated body composition scale and ten styles of 3D motion sensor pedometers. Pre-orders are already live on TANITA's official online store, but act fast – these are limited edition!
The star of the show is undoubtedly the voice-activated body composition scale, featuring none other than fan-favorite characters Jotaro Kujo (CV: Daisuke Ono), DIO (CV: Takehito Koyasu), and Noriaki Kakyoin (CV: Daisuke Hirakawa). They'll guide you through everything from initial setup to measurement results with their unique voice lines. Imagine Kakyoin saying, "Let's work hard together from now on!" after you register, or getting a special birthday greeting!
But the real fun begins when your measurement data triggers some hilariously dramatic (and surprisingly spot-on) lines. For instance:
If your visceral fat is a bit high, Jotaro might quip: "You... seem to have replenished enough energy. That once empty stomach... must be overflowing now..." (きさま……エネルギーの補給はすでにできたようだな カラカラだった腹が…いっぱいになってるもんなァ………… )
And if your body fat is too low, DIO will playfully suggest: "There's no need to stray. We can be friends." (それることはないんだよ 友だちになろう )
The scale itself is designed with DIO as the main visual, featuring a sleek black base adorned with the iconic star-shaped Joestar birthmark, perfectly capturing the series' aesthetic. It retails for 22,000 JPY.

Beyond the body composition scale, TANITA is also rolling out a new series of "3D Motion Sensor Pedometers" (Model FB-741). Equipped with a 3-axis accelerometer sensor, these bad boys accurately track your steps whether you wear them around your neck, stash them in your pocket, or toss them in your bag.
This collection boasts ten character-themed designs, including Jotaro, DIO, Kakyoin, Polnareff, and Iggy. Each pedometer sports its character's signature color scheme and a dedicated "Stand" motif, making them seriously eye-catching. Each one is priced at 3,520 JPY.
These exclusive items are available for pre-order only on TANITA's official online store, with shipments expected in late October. For more details, hit up the official special website.
