San-X Co., Ltd. announced the launch of new items under the theme 'Sumikkogurashi Night Routine' starting around July 2026. The products will be available at retail stores and online shops across Japan. This theme features the characters winding down for bedtime, illustrated with a soft and loose touch that differs slightly from their usual appearance.

Key items in the lineup include themed 'Tenori' palm-sized plushies wearing hairbands or nightcaps, and 'Okigae Sumikko' sets featuring sleeping bags, pajamas, and eye masks. Additionally, daily lifestyle accessories such as mini clear pouches, stickers, and acrylic keychains are offered. Sumikkogurashi, created in 2012, is known for its slightly negative yet charmingly surreal characters representing the cozy feeling of being in a corner. San-X produces 100% original characters like Rilakkuma and Tarepanda.
