First-ever Persona 5 Royal “Ichiban Kuji” lottery reveals its top prizes
The first-ever “Ichiban Kuji” prize lottery for the massively popular role-playing game, Persona 5 Royal, has been officially announced by Bandai Spirits.
“Ichiban Kuji” is a “no-lose” lottery system where every ticket purchased wins an item from a tiered lineup of exclusive merchandise.
Despite its immense global popularity, the Persona 5 franchise has never before had its own Ichiban Kuji, making this long-awaited release a major event for the dedicated fanbase.
This new collection brings the stylish world of the Phantom Thieves to the popular prize lottery format, with the top-tier prizes having been revealed.
The lineup features two different figures of the game’s protagonist, as well as a figure of his rival, Goro Akechi.
The revealed prizes are as follows:
- Prize A: Protagonist Figure
An approximately 20cm tall figure of the main character in his school uniform.
- Prize B: Goro Akechi Figure
An approximately 21cm tall figure of the detective, Goro Akechi.
The remaining prize tiers, from C to H, have not yet been announced, with more information to be revealed at a later date.
The last one prize, which is awarded to the person who purchases the final ticket in each set, has also been revealed.
- Last One Prize: Joker Figure
An approximately 22cm tall figure (including base) of the protagonist in his “Joker” Phantom Thief costume.
An online lottery to win the same “Joker” figure as the Last One Prize will also be available as a “Double Chance Campaign”.
The lottery will be available at a wide range of retailers, including Lawson convenience stores, bookstores, and hobby shops, where the price for one ticket will be ¥850.
The “Ichiban Kuji Persona 5 Royal” is scheduled to be released on Saturday, the 31st of January, 2026.
