Kirby x Speedo Merchandise Launches for Nintendo Fans: Pre-Orders Begin in Japan

Nintendo fans looking to level up their summer style have a new collaboration to celebrate: the official Kirby x Speedo merchandise collection.

The beloved pink hero from HAL Laboratory’s iconic franchise joins forces with global swimwear leader Speedo to introduce a playful range of swimwear and accessories, all set for launch exclusively in Japan. The Kirby x Speedo line was recently revealed and is currently available for pre-order.

This collaboration includes a variety of items designed with both function and Nintendo charm in mind.

Fans can look forward to a mesh cap, a convenient knapsack, waterproof bag, a sports towel, and several types of underwear and swimwear that showcase Kirby’s unmistakable character design.

These products are crafted to appeal to a broad audience, reflecting Speedo’s athletic expertise and Kirby’s universal appeal. Pre-orders for the Kirby x Speedo collection are open now, with an expected shipping date scheduled for February 2026.

The limited run of merchandise includes styles for men and women, such as briefs, boxers, boxer briefs, and stylish one-piece swimsuits for female fans.

While a traditional men’s Speedo swimsuit was not part of this lineup, the available designs aim to meet the needs of casual swimmers and Nintendo collectors alike. Pricing for these officially licensed items varies, with swimwear pieces retailing around 13,000 yen (approximately $90 USD).

Other accessories, including the Kirby-themed mesh hats, are priced more accessibly near 3,000 yen (about $20 USD).

As these products are available only within Japan, international fans will need to consider shipping and import fees if purchasing from overseas retailers. The Kirby x Speedo collaboration underscores Kirby’s ongoing influence as one of Nintendo’s most recognizable mascots, following a wave of successful merchandise and recent game releases.

The pre-order window remains open until January 26th, 2026, at 11:59 JST, giving fans ample time to secure their preferred items. By blending the technical prowess of Speedo with the playful spirit of Kirby, this partnership delivers a unique opportunity for collectors and athletes who celebrate Nintendo’s rich gaming legacy.
