The Fuchico Cup series, developed in collaboration with manga artist Tanaka Katsuki, is a figurine of an office lady named Fuchico that can be placed on the edge of a cup. The series has become a hit, with over 7 million units sold to date.

Previously, they have collaborated with popular characters such as Hello Kitty and Funassyi , but for this sixth installment, Taro Okamoto's masterpiece, the Tower of the Sun, will be appearing on the edge of the cup instead of Fuchico. Visitors can enjoy a new, twisted version of the Tower of the Sun.

The lineup includes seven types: "Stuck Sun Tower," "Climbing Sun Tower," "Sitting Sun Tower," "Looking Back Sun Tower," "Upside-Down Stuck Sun Tower," "Cup Edge Taro," and a "Secret" figure. Each is approximately 50mm in size.
