Chiikawa Kuji Shisa-darake Kuji: Shisa Face Cushions, Noodle Bowl Plush and Mini Mascots — UK Pre-order Draws at Otaku Daily

Chiikawa's sunniest little guardian is getting a kuji all to himself. The Chiikawa Kuji Shisa-darake Kuji, which roughly means "Shisa everywhere", fills every prize tier with Shisa, the cheerful lion-dog who works so hard at the Ramen Rou noodle shop. Big squishy face cushions, a plush hugging a bowl of noodles, dressed-up mascots and a dress-up sticker sheet for ten-draw fans make this one of the cutest Chiikawa line-ups of the season.

The kuji officially launches in Japan on Wednesday 28 October 2026, with prizes delivered from late March 2027, and UK fans can already pre-order draws of the Chiikawa Kuji Shisa series at Otaku Daily until Monday 2 November 2026 at 23:59 (UK time).

Who is Shisa?

Shisa is based on the traditional lion-dog guardians found on rooftops and gateways across Okinawa, but in nagano's world he is a bright, earnest young trainee working at the Ramen Rou noodle shop. Fans love him for his fluffy orange mane, his big hopeful eyebrows and his never-give-up attitude, whether he is learning to cook, running errands or cheering on his friends. He has grown into one of the most popular supporting characters in Chiikawa, and this kuji is a full celebration of him.

Big face cushions with plenty of personality

The headline pieces are the oversized Shisa face cushions. The official line-up shows several expressions, including his classic happy smile, a proud grin and a tired-but-trying face with a cooling sheet stuck to his forehead and a scrunched-up nose. Each one has his signature orange eyebrows and blushing cheeks embroidered on soft cream fabric, framed by a fluffy orange mane, so they look just as good on a sofa as they do on a shelf.

A noodle-loving plush and a dressed-up Shisa

One of the sweetest prizes is a large Shisa plush cuddling a bowl of noodles topped with fishcake, a lovely nod to his life at the noodle shop. Another plush shows Shisa dressed in a soft green outfit and cap, making him look like he is about to head out on an adventure or a busy work shift. Both use the same chunky, huggable shape as the cushions, so they make a fun set when displayed side by side.

Mini mascots for every Shisa mood

Smaller collectors will love the mini mascot line-up. Each little Shisa has its own outfit or prop: one wears a smart uniform with a white cap and a red flag, one wears an apron and carries a bowl, one proudly holds a sign calling himself a super part-timer, and others hold snacks, a shopping bag or a menu card. They are perfect for bags, keys or a desk display, and collecting the whole team is half the fun.

The full prize line-up

The official key visual brings everything together on one sofa: the face cushions, the noodle-bowl plush, the green-outfit plush, the row of mini mascots, a hanging Shisa and a noodle-bowl item marked with the Ramen Rou symbol. Every prize is drawn at random, so each draw is a small surprise, and multiple draws give you a better chance of building a big Shisa family at home.

Ten-draw bonus: a dress-up sticker sheet

Fans who order ten draws in one go receive a bonus sticker sheet. It is a dress-up sheet with two Shisa figures and lots of little outfits and accessories, including caps, aprons, a wok, snacks and speech bubbles, and the stickers can be stuck on and peeled off again, so you can change his look as often as you like.
