The Return of Hoppé-chan: New 3D Stickers Launching on LINE

Celebrating the Comeback of Hoppé-chan with New 3D LINE Stickers

Hoppé-chan, the much-loved character from the Heisei era, is making a grand return! Launched by Mitto Meru Hen Co., Ltd., a company specializing in character goods, the new Hoppé-chan 3D Stickers will be available on LINE starting November 2025.
This exciting release features 40 varieties of stickers, all designed to capture Hoppé-chan's charm with a three-dimensional twist, responding directly to the fans’ requests for a more dimensional representation of their favorite character.

A Collaboration Born from Fans’ Wishes

The creation of this new sticker set is the result of a collaboration with emoji artist Nana, who was inspired by numerous fan requests expressing a desire for 3D stickers. In her own words, she mentioned:

"I attempted to create 3D-style Hoppé-chan LINE stickers! This work came from the voices of many customers who wanted a three-dimensional version of Hoppé-chan’s stickers. Achieving a natural 3D look was challenging; I revisited images of Hoppé-chan from Switch games and checked against my authentic silicone Hoppé-chan to ensure accuracy while going through multiple iterations. I hope everyone will enjoy using them!"

As a long-time fan herself, Nana also shared:

"I've loved Hoppé-chan since I was in elementary school, and it's truly wonderful to see its rising popularity! It’s delightful to know that so many people appreciate Hoppé-chan’s cuteness. From new releases, collaborations, merchandise, to events, I've always been entertained in various ways. I will continue to support Hoppé-chan!"

This latest set is truly a labor of love from both the creators and the fans, encapsulating the sentiment of emotional connection through stickers.

Enhanced 'Puni' Factor with Daily Expressions

The new stickers are focused mainly on everyday phrases that enhance regular conversations. Expressions such as “Thank you,” “Well done,” “It's okay,” “Good night,” and “Full of energy!” allow a charming and cute representation of feelings through Hoppé-chan’s expressive character. The stickers are perfect for communication among friends and family alike.

Nostalgically New: Exploring Hoppé-chan's World

The stickers were developed in response to fans who had earlier utilized past series, requesting more expressive designs and practical phrases. The Sanho-seki team meticulously crafted each detail, from colors and phrases to font styles and poses, making this their proud creation.

Popular past sticker series include:

- Hoppé-chan for Daily Use (Volumes 1-3)
