Matsue Castle OshiRobot Announced!
On April 2025, a remarkable addition to the world of OshiRobots is set to make its entrance. The
Matsue Castle OshiRobot, created by
MIXI Co., Ltd., is inspired by the historic Matsue Castle, a designated national treasure located in Shimane Prefecture. This stunning robot will be presented at the upcoming
Special Edition OshiExpo in Matsue on June 28-29, 2025. Attendees will have the opportunity to witness this unique blend of Japanese heritage and modern animation technology.
What is the Matsue Castle OshiRobot?
The Matsue Castle OshiRobot features a distinct design that pays homage to its architectural origins. It has expansive shoulders representing the castle keep's roof, with arms styled as the castle's middle and drum watchtowers. Adding to its impressive stature is a stone lantern-style booster on its back, ensuring this robot stands out in the OshiRobot lineup. Its fierce face draws inspiration from the legends surrounding the castle's construction, symbolizing resilience with its imposing stance known as the
Ki-Butsu-Ketsu-Sou-Jin (鬼仏血槍陣). This makes it a formidable presence among its peers.
