A brand-new Ichiban Kuji lottery series for the beloved character franchise Obungu to Issho (お文具といっしょ) has been announced. Titled Ichiban Kuji Obungu to Issho ~Chicchakunatchatta!?~ (“Did They Get Tiny!?”), the lineup is packed with specially drawn “babu” (baby-cute) artwork and launches at FamilyMart and other participating retailers from Saturday, October 31, 2026.

About Obungu to Issho

Created by illustrator Obungu, Obungu to Issho follows the everyday lives of six characters: Obungu-san, Purin-san, Namonakimono, Neko-san, Zerii-san, and Koneko-san. The series has won a devoted fanbase with its warm, relatable words of comfort. (For the record, Obungu-san loves pudding and has nothing to do with stationery.)

Prize Lineup

Prize A — Obungu-san Talking Plush

The star of the lottery is a large plush approximately 30 cm tall. Press its tummy and it speaks one of five phrases, including “Otsukare-sama desu” and “Chotto kusuguttai” (“A little ticklish”), offering a gentle, comforting presence.

Prize B — Quilted Tote Bag

A practical everyday tote made from soft quilted fabric with cotton padding. The design features Obungu-san and friends dressed as bees and ladybugs. It includes a pocket and fits A4-sized items.

Prize C — Baby Costume Plush Mascots

Compact mascots approximately 8–12 cm in size, showing the characters in adorable costumes: Obungu-san as a bee, Purin-san as a ladybug, and Namonakimono as a butterfly.

Prize D — Warm Soup Bowl

A cozy bowl approximately 10 cm across, perfect for soup. A hidden surprise awaits at the bottom — finish your drink and a tiny Neko-san appears.

Prize E — Stock Container

A clear storage container with a capacity of approximately 350 ml, ideal for snacks or small accessories. The transparent body makes it easy to see the contents at a glance.
