The beloved character Opanchu Usagi (おぱんちゅうさぎ) is heading back to retail with a limited-run “CANDY PANICHU!” POP UP SHOP, set to take place at LaLaport Ebina, 3F in front of GU, from September 14 to 25, 2026.
A Crowd-Pleasing Return
This event marks the return of a POP UP SHOP that previously toured Tokyo, Osaka, and South Korea to enthusiastic reception. The concept centers on an all-new, specially drawn illustration (描き下ろし) depicting Opanchu Usagi working inside a candy factory, rendered in a vivid, pop-art style. A wide range of original merchandise featuring this artwork will be available throughout the run.
Merchandise Highlights
- Plush keychain (ぬいぐるみキーチェーン) — ¥2,200
- Die-cut handkerchief in candy-package design (ダイカットハンカチ) — ¥990
Additional items using the CANDY PANICHU! artwork will also be on sale at the venue.

- 11:00 AM — Greeting session
- 1:00 PM & 3:00 PM — Photo sessions
