These Kirby chopsticks and chopstick holders are from Bandai, though it didn’t know where it would sell them. Each set comes with a pair of chopsticks and a holder, with the holder looking like the character running while kicking up a dust cloud behind them. Each pair of chopsticks uses the character’s image color (pink for Kirby, yellow for Waddle Dee). They also have the character’s name, face, and other symbols near the ends. When placing the chopsticks on top of Waddle Dee’s or Kirby’s head, it looks like they’re running with them while supporting them with their little hands.

Since Kirby debuted in in 1992, he’s been a very popular character in both games and merchandise. This is likely due to his very cute and simple design. Goods can range between toys, to apparel, to food. There’s even an entire restaurant chain in Japan focusing on Kirby and friends, with items like Kirby-shaped hamburger or spaghetti with star shapes.

The Kirby and Waddle Dee chopsticks and chopstick holders will come out in Japan in mid-December 2024.
