Kozame’s Unforgettable Adventure: A Magical Collaboration with Red° Tokyo Tower
For many anime fans, summer 2023 was filled with excitement and joy as the dark horse anime of the year, "Odekake Kozame", swept the nation off its feet. The delightful adventures of Kozame, the lovable toddler, had captured the hearts of viewers through its series of short films, released weekly on YouTube. As a result, the franchise’s popularity led to several collaborations with various companies and venues, including the Red° Tokyo Tower.
In August 2023, the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the Red° Tokyo Tower announced its partnership with "Odekake Kozame", offering a range of merchandise, puzzles, and a café experience. Fans were thrilled to see the beloved characters come to life in various forms, including keychains, acrylic stands, and even a plush toy or two.
As part of the collaboration, visitors to the Red° Tokyo Tower could enjoy a special menu at the on-site café, featuring unique items such as the Hawaiian-inspired Kozame-chan Pizza and the heavenly Ramune drink. To add to the excitement, customers received a set of randomly selected "Odekake Kozame" place mats with their orders, featuring Kozame and his friends in all their adorable glory.
For a limited time, fans also had the opportunity to participate in a puzzle game, where they could win a set of Kozame stickers by completing a simple puzzle. The event drew to a close with a special meeting with Kozame himself on September 15th, although visitors had to participate in a lucky draw between August 31st and September 4th to secure tickets for the exclusive encounter.
The partnership between Red° Tokyo Tower and "Odekake Kozame" was a delightful little event that brought joy and excitement to fans of the anime. Although it’s now over, there’s always hope that Kozame might return for another adventure in the future.
