Nudge Co., based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has officially partnered with the popular illustrator tombonia to launch a next-generation credit card named the Nudge Card. This new card will be available starting June 16, 2026, and provides a unique way for users to support tombonia through their everyday shopping.

Supporting tombonia through Purchases

The Nudge Card allows cardholders to contribute to tombonia's success simply by using the card.
