Kura Sushi, the renowned revolving sushi restaurant chain, has officially announced its newest anime collaboration, and this time it is with one of the most celebrated titles in the world Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. The announcement has already sparked excitement across the anime community, as the partnership promises not only unique collectibles but also a rich thematic dining experience that blends the artistry of Japanese cuisine with the immersive world of Demon Slayer.
The campaign will be part of Kura Sushi’s signature Bikkura Pon series, a fan-favorite prize system where diners can win exclusive character-themed merchandise with qualifying orders. This special Demon Slayer edition will feature collectibles inspired by beloved characters such as Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke Hashibira, designed specifically for this collaboration. These limited-edition items will be available only while supplies last, making them highly sought-after treasures for collectors.
While the official launch date has not been confirmed, it is strongly expected that the collaboration will coincide with the U.S. premiere of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle on September 12, 2025. The timing is no coincidence, as the Infinity Castle film is already dominating headlines in Japan, where it has become the sixth highest-grossing film in Japanese box office history, surpassing the blockbuster One Piece Film Red. This level of success sets high expectations for its global release, and Kura Sushi is aligning itself perfectly with the hype.
Previous anime collaborations at Kura Sushi have been equally elaborate, with partnerships involving One Piece, Dragon Ball Z, and Jujutsu Kaisen drawing massive fan turnouts. These events have included themed menu items, limited-run beverages, decorative store visuals, and exclusive dining merchandise. Fans can expect the Demon Slayer collaboration to elevate this formula further, incorporating visuals from the Infinity Castle arc and possibly introducing new food items inspired by the series’ characters and themes.
For anime enthusiasts, this collaboration is more than just a marketing campaign it’s an experience that bridges fandom and food culture. Visiting a Kura Sushi during the event will likely mean being surrounded by exclusive visuals, collectible displays, and a vibrant atmosphere that immerses diners in the world of Demon Slayer. With the film promising high-stakes battles between the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan Kibutsuji within the labyrinthine Infinity Castle, fans can expect the restaurant decor and merchandise to reflect the intensity and beauty of this climactic arc.
The film, directed by Haruo Sotozaki and produced by ufotable, picks up at a pivotal point in the story. As the Hashira and Demon Slayer Corps undergo rigorous training to prepare for their final confrontation, Muzan makes his move, pulling them into the treacherous Infinity Castle. The stakes have never been higher, and the combination of intense storytelling, breathtaking animation, and this immersive Kura Sushi collaboration makes September a month to remember for fans.
Whether you are a dedicated Demon Slayer follower or simply a lover of Japanese cuisine, this is a rare opportunity to combine your passions in a memorable way. With exclusive prizes, themed experiences, and the energy of a global anime event, Kura Sushi’s collaboration with Demon Slayer is shaping up to be one of the most exciting anime tie-ins of the year.
