My Hero Academia’s Leading Ladies Unite for Exclusive New Official Collection
Bandai has fully revealed its next My Hero Academia Ichiban Kuji, giving the anime’s female heroes and villains their own collection of exclusive prizes inspired by their stories and memorable moments.
The new “Ichiban Kuji My Hero Academia -Their Stories-” brings together characters from U.A. High School and the League of Villains, with eight prize tiers and a special Last One Prize completing the collection.
Ichiban Kuji is Bandai’s lottery-style merchandise format, where every purchased ticket guarantees a prize, with the person who purchases the final remaining ticket at a participating location receiving an exclusive Last One Prize.
My Hero Academia originally began as a manga by Kohei Horikoshi in 2014, following Izuku Midoriya and his classmates as they trained to become professional heroes in a world where most people possessed supernatural abilities known as Quirks.
The anime adaptation began in 2016 and concluded with its eighth season in 2025, with the franchise celebrating its tenth anniversary throughout 2026.
Celebrations marking the milestone have included a dedicated two-day music festival, alongside plans for HEROACA ULTRA EXPO, a huge fan event set to bring the year-long celebrations to a close in April 2027.
