Kkamang and Ant, a Korean character duo with 1.4 million followers across social media, is holding its first collaboration pop-up shop with Puyo Puyo, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary. The shop will be on the 2nd floor of Shinjuku Marui Main Building for 10 days, from October 16 (Friday) to October 25 (Sunday), 2026.
The May pop-up at Yurakucho Marui in Tokyo drew big crowds of fans and closed to great acclaim. Kkamang and Ant has since expanded its activities across Japan, with a pop-up shop in Osaka in August and another in Hakata in September. The Shinjuku shop offers a chance to dive into the worlds of the rising-star Kkamang and Ant and the 35-year-old Puyo Puyo.

About Puyo Puyo
The Puyo Puyo series is an action puzzle game that has been loved around the world for more than 30 years. The original Puyo Puyo appeared in 1991 on MSX2 and Famicom Disk System, followed in 1992 by arcade and Mega Drive versions released by SEGA. Simple, easy-to-understand rules of connecting four or more "puyo" of the same color to clear them, cute characters, and head-to-head battles, introduced for the first time in a falling-block action puzzle game, made it an explosive hit.
The series has kept evolving, appearing on home consoles, PCs, smartphones, and other platforms, and is enjoyed by a wide range of players across generations. As a JeSU (Japan Esports Union) licensed title, it also draws attention in the esports scene, where professional players compete both in Japan and abroad. Marking its 35th anniversary in 2026, Puyo Puyo continues to deliver the fun of "dairensa" (big chain reactions).
