Celebrate 2026 with Monchhichi's New Zodiac Keychains
As we approach the New Year, excitement fills the air with the arrival of the Monchhichi Zodiac Leather Keychains, a splendid collaboration between HIKIDASHI Co., Ltd. and OJAGA DESIGN. Since Monchhichi's debut in 1974, this beloved character has consistently charmed fans of all ages. Now, with the launch of the new keychains embodying the Year of the Horse, the charm is set to continue.
A Touch of Tradition and Creativity
The keychains will be available for purchase online starting December 17, 2025, on the HIKIDASHI Store. The 2026 zodiac sign, the 'Hinoeuma' or Fire Horse, is beautifully represented by the adorable Monchhichi characters, Monchhichi-kun and Monchhichi-chan.
These updated keychains come to life in warm brown hues resembling a horse. Distinctive features, such as freckles, a curly tail, and Monchhichi-chan's signature ribbon, make these keychains special while ensuring they remain true to the beloved characters' essence. Each keychain showcases a rounded, three-dimensional design which lends a soft and warm texture, perfect for the spirit of the season.
