BLEACH and Tanita's Unique Collaboration: Health Meets Anime
In an exciting development for fans of both health and the widely acclaimed anime series "BLEACH," Tanita, a leading Japanese health technology company, has announced the release of innovative health monitoring products that features beloved characters from the franchise. This collaboration coincides with the airing of the final season of the anime, titled "BLEACH Thousand-Year Blood War - Kachin Tan," set to start on July 25, 2026.
The collaboration includes two standout products: a Bluetooth® enabled voice body composition scale and a series of pedometers, all stylized with characters from the series. Fans can now enjoy the health benefits of monitoring their fitness while having fun with their favorite BLEACH characters guiding them through their health journeys.
Unique Products Designed for Fans
1.
Voice Body Composition Scale - BC-204L BLEACH Model
This innovative device is not just a standard scale; it features voice navigation by four main characters: Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Renji Abarai, and Toshiro Hitsugaya, voiced by well-known actors in the anime. Users can receive instructions and feedback through witty, character-specific messages based on their measurements. For instance, if users achieve a good body fat percentage, they might hear Ichigo say, "Not bad! Stronger than Rukia, right?" Rukia might chime in with a playful, "You think you can outdo me? I've trained hard!"
2.
3D Sensor Pedometers - FB-741 BLEACH Model
Available in 27 variants, each inspired by a different character from the series, these pedometers are designed to encourage walking and movement while featuring vibrant colors and designs that represent each character’s personality. The 3D sensor promises accurate tracking whether it’s worn around the neck or kept in a pocket, perfect for fans to incorporate into their daily lives.
Extended Pre-Order Period
Due to the overwhelming response, Tanita has announced an extension of the pre-order period until
August 3 at 3 PM. This decision allows fans who discover the collaboration upon the anime's airing ample time to secure their products. The voice body composition scale will be priced at
