These are official promo headbands that were given out at TOKYO GAME SHOW 2025 by BLAST ZERO — the dev team working on the new Samurai Pizza Cats game (“Samurai Pizza Cats: Blast from the Past”). They were handing these out at the booth to hype the game and the 35th anniversary.
There are three versions, one for each of the main trio:
Yattaro / Speedy Cerviche (white band, blue/red inner ear)
Pururun / Polly Esther (red band, red/white inner ear)
Sukashii / Guido Anchovy (blue band, blue/white inner ear)
They’re plush, super lightweight, and honestly way cuter in person than any promo freebie has any right to be.
📌 The little fabric tags on the headbands are interesting for a couple reasons:
They all use the official 35th anniversary Samurai Pizza Cats logo.
They point directly to BLAST ZERO’s site and tell you to “Wishlist now on Steam!”, which more hard confirmation that the new SPC game is targeting PC/Steam.
In other words: these weren’t just cosplay ears. They’re marketing proof that the new game is real, that it’s officially licensed for the 35th, and that BLAST ZERO wants the classic 3 front and center.
💬 Bonus nerd note: Pururun’s set is slightly different from the boys — someone out there actually cared about accuracy instead of doing “one generic cat ear in 3 colors.”
These were never sold at retail, and as of right now there’s no storefront listing for them. They’re attendee swag. You can find them on the Japanese second-hand market (Mandarake, Mercari, JDirect, etc). If you’re interested, they can still be found easily and purchased relatively cheaply (as long as you’re getting them directly from Japan).
