Mizuno Launches Exciting New Gaming Gear

Mizuno, a renowned name in the sports industry, has announced its foray into the world of esports by unveiling a trio of gaming products set to debut on May 1, 2026. This launch includes a gaming chair and a controller, both inspired by the popular character JURI from the blockbuster game 'Street Fighter 6'. Additionally, they're introducing the 'Blanka Plush Vibrating Doll' to cater to gamers' needs and enhance their experience. All three products will be available for pre-order on the funding platform Makuake, promising to revolutionize the gaming setup for enthusiasts.

Collaboration with Street Fighter 6

Aimed at blending gaming culture with high-quality sports gear, Mizuno's collaboration with 'Street Fighter 6' marks a significant milestone in its product development strategy. From launching performance apparel for athletes to now developing tools for gamers, Mizuno aims to leverage its expertise and insights gained from working with numerous athletes in various sports.

Excited fans can begin placing their pre-orders on Makuake starting at 8:00 AM Japan time on May 1, 2026, with shipping expected to occur around mid-July 2026. The links for pre-orders can be found on the official Makuake website and through Mizuno's esports dedicated webpage.

Features of the Gaming Chair - Hagibis

This innovative chair is designed for maximum comfort during long gaming sessions.

• - Adjustable Armrests: The armrests can be customized in height and position, accommodating both players who lay their controllers on the armrests and those who prefer controlling from their laps. The chair also rotates 360 degrees, preventing interference in different play styles.

• - Breathable Mesh Material: With a focus on ventilation and durability, the chair is equipped with a mesh fabric to reduce sweating during extended gaming or streaming sessions, thus providing a comfortable sitting experience.

• - Comprehensive Adjustment Features: The chair is carefully designed to suit players of varying heights and body types. It includes a 3D adjustable headrest, two-stage lumbar support, adjustable seat height, and recline, ensuring everyone finds their optimal comfort.

• - Art by JURI: Fans of 'Street Fighter 6' will appreciate that the headrest of the gaming chair features exclusive artwork of the character JURI, enhancing its appeal.

Features of the Gaming Controller - Hagibis

This controller introduces an ergonomic design tailored for gaming performance.

• - Asymmetrical Ergonomic Design: Moving away from conventional flat designs, the left side of the controller boasts a convex shape while the right side is concave, catering to the different functionalities required by each hand during gameplay.

• - Separated Button Placement: The controller’s buttons are designed to be separated, enabling a more natural, less hunched posture while gaming, thus reducing strain during play.

• - Artistic Touch: The buttons on the right side of the controller also feature designs based on JURI from 'Street Fighter 6'.

Introducing the Blanka Plush Vibrating Doll

Adding a fun twist, the 'Blanka Plush Vibrating Doll' is the first vibrating type in the 'Bollett' series. By pressing a button located on the doll's right hand, it vibrates, allowing gamers to refresh their bodies while seated for long periods. This product aims to alleviate physical fatigue frequently experienced by gamers.

• - Versatile Usage: Just like the regular 'Bollett', this plush can also be used without vibrations for arm and leg training, diversifying its application in a gamer’s routine.

Try the New Gear at EVO JAPAN 2026

Mizuno will showcase all three products at the upcoming EVO JAPAN 2026 event, held from May 1-3 at Tokyo Big Sight. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience firsthand the innovative features of Mizuno’s new esports gear.

Furthermore, Mizuno has secured a permanent contract with esports Style UENO, ensuring the gaming chair - Hagibis - will be available for experience at their location post-May 1.
