Adastria Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: 2-21-1 Shibuya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Yoshiteru Kitamura), which operates over 40 multi-brands under the Adastria HD Group, whose mission is "Play fashion!", will release collaboration items from its style editorial brand "niko and ..." with the popular characters "Gachapin & Mukku", "P-chan", and "Alphabetz" from "P-kies Family" owned by Fuji Television Network, Inc.

"niko and ..." develops projects that propose unique things and experiences through the brand's nine elements: "uni9ue senses" (clothing, food, housing, play, knowledge, health, travel, sound, LOCAL). This collaboration was realized due to the affinity between Gachapin & Mukku's catchphrase "Everyone is friends" and "niko and ...'s" brand tagline "Meet, then find your fit." It is a special collection that stems from a shared desire to "further expand the circle of friends" through the encounter between "P-kies Family" and "Billy", deeply agreeing with each other's messages.

The collection depicts "P-kies Family," including the athletic "Gachapin," "Mukku," "P-chan," and "Alphabetz," enjoying various activities with "Billy," the original character of "niko and ...." The adorable sports-themed art, featuring challenges in soccer, basketball, baseball, and mountaineering, is all original designs by "niko and ..." created exclusively for this collaboration. You can enjoy a world that is both nostalgic and refreshingly new.

The collaboration items include a wide variety, such as sitting objects that faithfully reproduce the characters' expressions, floor chairs with attention to texture, and popular vinyl umbrellas and tote bags featuring original all-over art. Furthermore, the currently popular "sticker sheets" will also be available! Two types are offered: one with a fluffy texture and another with a cute sparkling glitter. In addition to niko and ...'s signature wide variety of lifestyle goods, there will also be a rich selection of apparel and accessories, including T-shirts with eye-catching surreal graphics, 2-pair socks, and hats, creating catchy items that color the daily lives of "P-kies Family."

At each "niko and ... COFFEE" store, two types of smoothies inspired by "Gachapin & Mukku" will be sold as part of the collaboration menu.

About P-kies Family

For approximately 45 years since the broadcast of "Hirake! Ponkikki" began on April 2, 1973, the "Ponkikki Series" of early childhood education programs has been passed down through "Ponkikki," "Ponkikki 21," and "be Ponkikki," and remains deeply rooted in the memories of many people.

Many characters beloved across generations, including "Gachapin & Mukku," were born from the program and graced its screen. Triggered by the establishment of April 2nd, Gachapin & Mukku's birthday, as an official commemorative day called "Gachapin & Mukku Everyone is Friends Day" certified by the Japan Anniversary Association in 2025, friends such as "Koni-chan" from the popular "Janken" segment "Jaka Jaka Janken," the alien "P-chan" from Alphabet Star P Island, "Alphabetz," and "Gaa and Mu" have gathered, and are now expanding their circle of friends and embarking on new developments as the "P-kies Family."
