The beloved classic anime franchise, GeGeGe no Kitaro, celebrated its creator Shigeru Mizuki's 100th birthday with the animated film Kitaro Birth: The Mystery of GeGeGe. The movie was a massive box office hit, earning rave reviews from fans in both Taiwan and Japan, and sparking a new wave of adoration for the dynamic duo of the Father of Kitaro and Mizuki.
Now, fans can get their hands on a special collaboration! The e-commerce platform FanFunMARKET, known for its exclusive anime and game merchandise, has teamed up with the film to launch original collaboration watches. Naturally, there are two distinct designs: one for the Father of Kitaro and one for Mizuki. Each watch is priced at 35,200 JPY and is limited to just 500 units. Pre-orders are currently open on the official store.
These stunning timepieces are inspired by the two main characters, "Father of Kitaro" and "Mizuki," with each design meticulously crafted to reflect their unique characteristics.
▼ Father of Kitaro Model
This watch draws inspiration from the "Father of Kitaro" as he appears in the film. The watch face's background color is a nod to his kimono, featuring delicate engravings of cherry blossoms and petals floating on water. A vibrant red gemstone, symbolizing his eye color, is set at the 3 o'clock position, while the hour markers are designed with footprints resembling traditional geta sandals.
The leather strap mimics a traditional braided rope style and comes with a detachable tassel charm for an extra touch of elegance. The case back is engraved with an illustration of the Father of Kitaro and a limited edition serial number, while the crown is adorned with a light blue gemstone, exuding premium quality!
▼ Mizuki Model
Inspired by the character "Mizuki," this watch's dial incorporates the pattern of his signature white handkerchief, along with smoke-like engraved details that subtly reference his smoking habit. A blue sapphire, representing his eye color, is set at the 3 o'clock position, and the 5 o'clock marker is cleverly designed as a cigarette, a truly personalized touch!
The case back also features an engraved illustration of Mizuki and a limited edition serial number, with a red gemstone adorning the crown.
Both watches come with an exclusive storage box.
