SANKYO has announced its sponsorship of Kishidan Expo 2026. At an experiential booth for the KUGITAMA project, visitors will be offered free trial play of the latest machines and mini-games.
SANKYO announced that it will sponsor Kishidan Expo 2026, to be held at Makuhari Messe on 7 and 8 November. An experiential booth will be set up at the venue, where visitors will be able to experience the appeal of pachinko through free trial play and mini-games.
The sponsorship will be carried out through the KUGITAMA project, with the aim of conveying to society the inherent appeal of pachinko, created by nails and balls. The project seeks to create points of contact with people who have never played and younger people, revive lapsed players, and encourage participation in pachinko play.
The booth’s experience area will feature “P HANE BASTARD!! -The Dark Destroyer-” and “e Fever Yo-kai Watch,” which are scheduled to be introduced at pachinko parlors from 2 November. Participants will receive original stickers and “夢夢ちゃん” charms featuring Chiba Prefecture’s famous peanuts as a motif.
The trial machines will be available free of charge at the booth inside the venue, allowing visitors to experience the appeal of pachinko by operating the machines.
