BANDAI Spirits is launching an Ichiban Kuji Hokuto no Ken on June 20, 2026. At 850 yen per ticket, this kuji with no losing draws offers MASTERLISE figures of Kenshiro, Rei, and Raoh, three of the most iconic characters in Hokuto no Ken. A release that comes at the perfect time with the new adaptation airing on Prime Video.
What is an Ichiban Kuji?
An Ichiban Kuji is an official Japanese lottery sold in game centers and convenience stores like Lawson. Every ticket guarantees a prize, no losing draws. Prizes range from premium figures (A, B) to goodies, all the way to the Last One, the exclusive piece won by whoever draws the last ticket from the box.

The MASTERLISE collection
Banpresto’s MASTERLISE collection is one of the most respected lines when it comes to high-end figures. MASTERLISE sculptures stand out for their particularly high level of detail, carefully crafted paint quality, and facial expressions faithful to the original works. Compared to standard figures, MASTERLISE pieces are generally larger (around 260 mm) and more detailed.
For an Ichiban Kuji, getting three MASTERLISE figures as Prize A, Prize B, and Last One is a serious mark of quality. Prizes C to G had not yet been revealed at the time of writing, but should include goodies such as glasses, towels, or other accessories featuring the franchise’s branding.
Kenshiro, Rei, and Raoh: why this trio?
The choice of Kenshiro, Rei, and Raoh for the premium prizes of this Ichiban Kuji Hokuto no Ken is no coincidence. These three characters represent the three pillars of the manga. Kenshiro, the hero of Hokuto Shinken on a quest to find his fiancée Yuria; Rei, the master of Nanto Suicho Ken and loyal friend whose tragic fate is one of the most memorable moments in the series; and Raoh, the elder brother and main antagonist who symbolizes absolute strength and the ambition to dominate the post-apocalyptic world.
This trio also corresponds to the three characters most requested by the international fandom since the announcement of the 2026 anime, which confirms that BANDAI Spirits did its homework when it comes to engaging with the community.
How to get the Hokuto no Ken kuji from France
Ichiban Kuji are only distributed in Japan through game centers and retailers like Lawson. For European fans, several options exist. The first is to use a Japanese proxy service like Buyee or FROM JAPAN, which can purchase and ship the tickets or the won figures directly. The second option is to wait for the figures to appear on resale sites like Mandarake, Mercari Japan, or Yahoo Auctions Japan, usually a few weeks after release. The third option is to wait until specialized European resellers offer them, often with a price markup.
Note that the full lineup of prizes C to G had not yet been revealed by BANDAI Spirits at the time of writing. Updates will be published on Hokuto Chronicles as soon as official information becomes available.
