Yu Yu Hakusho and Sanrio’s official collab merch is now available to pre-order

A new collaboration has been announced, bringing together the world of the classic 1990s anime series Yu Yu Hakusho and the iconic universe of Sanrio Characters.
The new product line features a wide range of merchandise based on original illustrations that pair the main characters from the shonen anime with popular Sanrio mascots.
Sanrio regularly team up with different anime titles to bring fans exclusive merchandise, with recent collaborations including Yu-Gi-Oh! and Chiikawa.

Yu Yu Hakusho, based on the manga by Yoshihiro Togashi, was one of the most influential anime series of its time, telling the story of Spirit Detective Yusuke Urameshi and his battles against various demonic threats.

This collaboration creates a unique fusion of the action-oriented world of Yu Yu Hakusho and the cute, character-driven world of Sanrio.
The collection is built around six specific character pairings, each with its own dedicated artwork.
