From the TV anime “BANANA FISH”, new merchandise such as apparel inspired by the stadium jacket worn by Eiji Okumura has been released. Currently, reservations are being accepted on the online shopping site of the apparel brand “Noitamina Apparel”.
“BANANA FISH” is a suspense action story based on the manga serialized in “Bessatsu Shojo Comic” by Akimi Yoshida from 1985 to 1994. It
depicts the story of Ash Lynx, a young boy who leads a New York street gang, and Eiji Okumura, a Japanese boy who comes to investigate, as they pursue the truth behind the mysterious word “Banana Fish.”
The TV anime was broadcast from July to December 2018, with Yuuma Uchida playing the role of Ash and Kenji Nojima playing the role of Eiji.
The new goods coming out from Noitamina Apparel, a brand born from Fuji TV’s late-night anime slot Noitamina, are based on the characters and scenes from the TV anime.
The stadium jacket, which is based on the stadium blouson worn by Eiji Okumura in the film, has a three-dimensional, authentic design with sagara and chain embroidery. As an added bonus, it comes with a photo-style card of Eiji.
Additionally, the T-shirts worn by both Ash and Eiji will be available in a set of two. An original “Vicky & Dick” badge and a film-style packaging sticker are included.
The vintage-style “Graphic Art Canvas” and the film-style “Film-Style Design Long Hand Towel” are printed with an impressive scene featuring Ash and Eiji from the ending of the TV anime.
Also not to be missed is the “Washed Canvas Tote Bag,” which was inspired by the sweatshirt worn by Eiji in the film. On the inside is an original name tag with a “Nori2-kun” design.
The “cushion cover,” also featuring Nori2, features the TV anime logo and the New York cityscape where the series is set on the back.
New merchandise for the TV anime “BANANA FISH” is available for pre-order on the online store of the apparel brand “Noitamina Apparel.” Products are scheduled to be delivered after late February 2025. For more information, please visit the sales site.
