Chiikawa Market has lined up one of its busiest little drops of the autumn. From 30 October, it adds five new goods: Light Stick Charms whose faces glow when you flick a switch, a first wave of palm-size sitting plush, handy Coin Cylinders for capsule toy hunters, a second wave of Mini Collect Book Keyholders and a cute Lovisia lip essence with its own tiny mascot. On top of that, the Chiikawa Obanyaki sweet shop is heading overseas with its first permanent store in Taipei. Here is the full round-up.

Light Stick Charm: tiny glowing faces

The star of this drop is the Light Stick Charm. Each one looks like a mini concert light stick in a soft pastel colour, topped with a character's face. Switch it on and the face lights up with a gentle glow, so it works as a bag charm, a desk ornament or a very small cheering stick for your favourite character. There are eight designs and they are sold blind, which makes it a fun one to collect and trade with friends.

The lineup covers the main cast, so expect familiar faces such as Chiikawa, Hachiware and Usagi alongside other friends from the series. They are small enough to clip onto a keyring or a pencil case without adding bulk.

Sitting Plush ①: palm-size and made for lining up

Next is the first wave of a new Sitting Plush series. These are palm-size soft toys showing each character sitting neatly with a big smile, and the four designs are sold blind. They are designed to be lined up together on a shelf, a monitor stand or a bedside table, and the small size means they sit happily next to bigger plush and mascots you may already own. The "①" in the name suggests more waves are planned.

Coin Cylinder for capsule toy hunters

The Coin Cylinder is a clever little accessory for anyone who loves capsule toys or crane games. It holds a stack of coins in a clear tube so you can pop them out one at a time with one hand, instead of digging through a purse in front of the machine. There are five designs, each with a cute character topper, and they are sold blind.

Mini Collect Book Keyholder ②

The Mini Collect Book Keyholder returns for a second wave. Each one is a tiny clear book on a keyring with pockets inside, made for storing ID-size photos, stickers or the mini books that come out of capsule toys. It is a lovely way to carry a photo of your favourite character or a mini sticker collection on your bag. Four designs are available, again sold blind.

Lovisia Mascot Lip Essence

For beauty fans, Lovisia has teamed up with Chiikawa on a Mascot Lip Essence. It is a moisturising lip serum that adds a light hint of colour, and each tube comes with a ring chain and a small character cover that sits on top. There are four designs, and unlike the blind goods above, you can choose your favourite.

Chiikawa Obanyaki opens in Taipei

Overseas fans have something to celebrate too. Chiikawa Obanyaki, the shop that sells warm obanyaki cakes shaped like Chiikawa, Hachiware and Usagi's faces, is opening its first permanent store in Taipei on 21 November 2026. The cakes are filled generously with cream or sweet red bean, and the shop will also offer drinks and original goods. It is the first time the brand has opened a permanent branch in Taiwan, which is great news for anyone planning a trip to the region.

Bottom line

Glowing Light Stick Charms, collectable sitting plush and practical Coin Cylinders make this a small but very collectable Chiikawa drop, and the Taipei Obanyaki opening shows how quickly the brand is growing outside Japan. If you want any of the 30 October goods, get in touch early, as blind items like these tend to sell out quickly.
