Capcom has officially revealed hoROCKMAN, a full merchandise collaboration between the classic Mega Man (Rockman) series and Hololive Gamers — the subunit featuring Shirakami Fubuki, Ookami Mio, Nekomata Okayu, and Inugami Korone. Announced on 17 August 2026 across Japanese gaming media including Famitsu (Japanese) and 4Gamer (Japanese), the collab drops in Japan on 22 August 2026 — and there is no English-language coverage yet.
What Is hoROCKMAN?
The collaboration draws on Mega Man’s iconic pixel-art DNA. Each of the four Hololive Gamers members has been illustrated in a newly drawn costume, then reimagined alongside a mascot character designed to represent both the VTuber and her fanbase — all rendered in Rockman-style dot art. It is a natural fit: Inugami Korone in particular is famously known in the VTuber community for her retro gaming streams, and Nekomata Okayu has tackled Mega Man X titles on stream before.
Prize Items at Capcom Arcades and caputore Online
Starting 22 August, the following items go live as crane game prizes at Capcom’s amusement facilities and Caputore (Capcom’s online crane game service, accessible from outside Japan):
- Trading can badges — 4 types (approx. 56mm, random)
- Acrylic stand keychains — 4 types (approx. 120mm)
- Window flat pouches — 4 types (approx. 130×165mm)
- Acrylic boards — 4 types (210×300mm)
- Square cushions — 4 types (approx. 430mm)
- T-shirts — 5 types (XL)
- Mousepads — 4 types, Ikebukuro Capcom and Caputore only
SG fans with a Caputore account can try for prize items directly through the online service. Japan-based proxy services are another route for the physical arcade prizes.
Retail Merch — Acrylic Stands, Keychains and More
Alongside the prize items, Capcom is releasing a retail range through Capcom Store (8 locations) and CharaCap shops (12 locations) in Japan, priced in yen:
- 3-chain acrylic keychains — ¥1,430 (approx. S$13)
- Diorama acrylic stands — ¥2,860 (approx. S$26)
- Sticker sets — ¥1,650 (approx. S$15)
- Rubber trays — ¥1,980 (approx. S$18)
These are also available via the Capcom Store PARCO online shop, which ships to international addresses. The collaboration goods are additionally confirmed to arrive at Capcom Store Taipei in late November — so regional fans should watch for that window too.

Capcom is running several limited campaigns alongside the launch:

SG Fans: Your Import Options
There is no Singapore retail availability announced. The goods are currently Japan-only, with Capcom Store Taipei scheduled to receive stock in late November. For SG fans who want the merchandise at launch, the main routes are:
- Caputore — Capcom’s online crane game service operates internationally, giving direct access to the prize items without a Japan proxy.
- Capcom Store PARCO online shop — international shipping on retail items.
- Japan proxy/forwarding services — for physical arcade prizes you want to win in person or purchase from crane game resellers.
Singapore’s used-goods and doujin import community is active in sourcing Japan Capcom crane prizes, so keep an eye on our game news and local import groups closer to the 22 August launch date.
