Unveiling the New 'Devil General' Chopsticks from Wakasa

A new arrival has hit the market for fans of the beloved comic series Kinnikuman! On March 19, 2026, the 'Devil General' chopsticks, crafted with precision by skilled artisans in Obama City, Fukui, will be available for purchase. This creation is part of the traditional Wakasa lacquerware, which has a renowned history of producing the finest chopsticks in Japan, accounting for over 70% of the nation's total lacquerware production.

These unique chopsticks are designed to embody the fierce spirit of the 'Devil General,' a character from the Kinnikuman series created by Yudetamago. The chopsticks feature a stunning design with a silver and dark red color scheme, inspired by the character's formidable appearance. The central section showcases a printed emblem that represents the Devil General’s chest mark, encapsulating the character's iconic likeness. The tips of the chopsticks are elegantly coated in black, adorned with a dark red pattern, mimicking the keen and fierce gaze of the character.

Comfort is key, as these chopsticks have a rounded rectangular shape, allowing for easy handling. They also feature non-slip processing, making them perfect for enjoying slippery dishes, such as noodles. These chopsticks measure 22.5 cm, making them suitable for all users, and they are also dishwasher safe for easy maintenance.

Upon purchasing, the chopsticks come beautifully packaged in a special paulownia wood box that is branded with the Devil General’s emblem. This combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern aesthetics makes these chopsticks not only functional but also a fantastic gift for loved ones.

Available for purchase starting March 19, 2026, these chopsticks can be found on the official Kinnikuman store, KIN29.COM, as well as at the online store, Hikidashi Store.
