Round1 x "ONE PIECE" Holds First Joint Japan-US Collaboration! Simultaneous Rollout at 159 Stores in Japan and North America Starting July 18, 2026

Round One Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Osaka; President and CEO: Hideyoshi Kawaguchi) will hold a collaborative event with the globally popular TV anime "ONE PIECE" simultaneously at Round1 stores in Japan and North America, starting July 18, 2026. This marks the first time Round1 will simultaneously deploy a TV anime content collaboration in both Japan and North America.

"ONE PIECE" is a work supported by a wide range of generations not only in Japan but also around the world. In recent years, against the backdrop of a booming IP content market, its presence has grown even further on a global scale. Meanwhile, Round1 is also expanding its business operations both domestically and internationally, accelerating its growth particularly in the North American market. In this context, together with "ONE PIECE," which is seeing its story reach new heights of excitement, we aim to create a new entertainment experience that spans Japan and North America through this project.

This collaboration will feature newly drawn original illustrations for Round1 x "ONE PIECE." Through designs displayed in various locations within the stores, guests will be able to experience the world of "ONE PIECE" throughout the entire Round1 facility. The event period is scheduled from July 18, 2026, to October 17, 2026, with the same initiatives implemented for the same period and concept at 100 stores in Japan and 59 stores in North America.

We will be offering a diverse range of initiatives, including photo spots, crane game decorations, limited edition plush toys and figures as prizes, collaboration packages linked to various activities such as bowling and karaoke, and food and drink menus.

Furthermore, as one of the highlights of this project, we have produced the "ONE PIECE Card Game -ROUND1 Promotion Pack-". These will be available in 10 completely original designs and will be presented to customers who purchase collaboration menu items.

Regarding this project, Hideyoshi Kawaguchi, President and CEO of Round One Japan, commented, "This is a large-scale collaboration involving 159 stores in Japan and the US with the globally popular 'ONE PIECE.' It is an entertainment experience that transcends borders, made possible by Round1's extensive store network in both countries."

Mayu Ohiwa, Vice President & Chief of Staff New Business Development at Round1 USA, also stated, "Providing a consistent and high-quality experience in both the US and Japan was a major objective of this project. We hope that the limited edition original drawings and various items created for this collaboration will become cherished memories of the Round1 x ONE PIECE collaboration experience, accompanied by smiles."

Round1 has previously engaged in IP collaborations both domestically and internationally, and through this project, we will further strengthen our offering of entertainment experiences that transcend regions.
