If you're into Japanese YouTubers, you absolutely know "HIKAKIN," Japan's most subscribed YouTuber. He's a beloved internet personality for all ages, and his fun, witty video productions have even attracted collaborations with major celebrities.
But get this: the super popular HIKAKIN is now making an appearance on a "Pokémon Card"! And no, it's not some custom fan card; it's a legitimate, tournament-legal card included as a bonus in Shogakukan's latest magazine, "CoroChao."
The new magazine "CoroChao," a collaboration between Shogakukan's "CoroCoro Comic" and "Ciao," features a special "Pokémon Card Game Start Deck100 CoroChao Ver." bonus. Inside, fans discovered a Supporter card titled "Influencer's Introduction" (インフルエンサーの紹介), which directly depicts HIKAKIN himself! This surprise has delighted countless fans and netizens.
HIKAKIN himself unveiled the "Influencer's Introduction" Pokémon card, featuring his own illustration, on his official YouTube channel. The card's effect reads:
"Draw 3 cards while introducing your favorite Pokémon to your opponent. If you successfully convey your enthusiasm to your opponent, they can reply with 'Like!'" Not only does it feature his likeness, but the effect perfectly captures his personal brand (lol). And yes, this card is absolutely tournament-legal!
It just goes to show how massive HIKAKIN's popularity is – to land directly on a Pokémon card! As a collectible and a piece of memorabilia, it definitely holds significant value. "CoroChao" is set to drop on December 19th, so if you're looking to snag one, mark your calendars!
