SEGA Prize will be distributing an unusual goodie in Japanese arcades in May 2026: the Hokuto no Ken-dama (北斗の拳玉), a kendama in the franchise’s colors as part of its Platina Zakka line. For the uninitiated, the kendama is a traditional Japanese toy, a type of cup-and-ball game.
The concept is simple: the ken (the sword-shaped part of the kendama) represents Kenshiro’s hand, with the fingers sculpted in an attack position. And the ball? It’s Heart’s head, whose characteristic expression of pain, the famous “Iteeyo !!”, is reproduced with special care.
Size: approximately 7 × 7 × 19 cm
Distribution: Japanese arcades (prize game)
Expected release: May 2026
