When it comes to Japanese tokusatsu heroes, Ultraman is undeniably an icon. With countless series still boasting massive popularity and new installments constantly dropping, the franchise is also celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, with a slew of exciting events already underway.
Recently, the franchise announced its first-ever collaboration with Nippon Kodo's ultra-long-running incense brand, "Aokumo," to release a limited-edition "M78 Aokumo" incense. This special product also comes with a completely original "Science Special Search Party Meteor Badge" shaped incense holder. Priced at 2,420 yen, it's set to officially hit shelves on May 29, 2026.
The "M78 Aokumo" is a truly special item, born from the shared spirit of "courage, hope, and care" that Ultraman has championed for decades, combined with Aokumo's enduring message of "living strong and striving forward." It's a dream collaboration between two beloved, cross-generational IPs and brands, perfectly timed for Ultraman's 60th anniversary.
This incense masterfully blends the Ultraman universe with Aokumo's gentle, soothing fragrance. It features a "white floral" scent profile, perfect for daily relaxation, ensuring fans of all ages can easily enjoy it.
And that bonus incense holder? It's designed after the iconic "Meteor Badge" of the Science Special Search Party. Crafted from tin, it boasts a substantial, high-quality feel and a strong presence, making it a fantastic display piece even without the incense.
Imagine experiencing the comforting presence of Ultraman through scent! This commemorative collaboration piece is definitely going to be hard for fans to resist.
