Furuichi’s Yoshio-Kun Arrives in SHIKA-Q
Agni Flare has announced a new collaboration for its fast-paced competitive puzzle game SHIKA-Q, bringing the game together with Yoshio-kun, the official mascot of Furuichi Furuhon Ichiba.
Players will get their first chance to experience the collaboration on September 21, 2026, at AEON Mall Ibaraki in Osaka. The game will appear at the “Trading Card Tournament + SHIKA-Q Experience Event” on the third floor, where visitors can try it out from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
SHIKA-Q challenges players to connect pieces across a 10×10 board while battling opponents in real time. Attacks, healing, disruptions, and special moves all happen during matches, putting quick decision-making and strategy to the test. The game also offers plenty of customization, including icons, emotes, UI elements, and background music.
For this collaboration, the game will feature Yoshio-kun-themed customization throughout the game. The Overdrive special move will receive a new collaboration cut-in, while Yoshio-kun will also have a voiced emote performed by voice actor Makoto Koichi. Players can choose between a blue Yoshio-kun design and a red Yoshio-kun robot version. The collaboration also adds a new battle track titled “Yoshio-kun’s 360° Reuse.”
Players will be able to experience the collaboration at selected Furuichi stores and events rather than purchase it separately. Additional booths are planned for October 3 and 4 at the Yurubath final voting venue, as well as future new-store opening events.
For fans of fast and competitive puzzle games, this collaboration offers a fun reason to give SHIKA-Q a try.
