Kura Sushi USA Inc., a technology-enabled Japanese restaurant concept serving Japanese cuisine through a revolving sushi service model, is partnering for the second time with the popular Japanese anime series, "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" for a limited-time Bikkura Pon collaboration.

The collaboration will be available exclusively at Kura Revolving Sushi Bar U.S. restaurants through May 31, or until supplies last, and features three zipper accessories, four acrylic stand keychains and three can badges.

"After the excitement and success generated by our first Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba partnership last year, we knew guests would crave another Bikkura Pon prize collection that highlights the manga series' characters in a new way," Sally Kurosaki, promotions and licensing manager of Kura Sushi USA, said in a company press release. "Kura is proud to align with popular Japanese culture tastemakers to create strategic brand partnerships that introduce our fresh, authentic sushi to new audiences, and surprise and delight our guests with consistently new, enticing Bikkura Pon prizes."

The limited-time collectibles are dispensed from Kura Sushi USA's proprietary Bikkura Pon Prize System, an integral part of the brand's interactive and tech-driven dining experience. The system is comprised of a prize machine, touch panel and plate disposal slot located at every table in the restaurant. Connected via sensors, the touch panel registers the number of plates dispensed into the plate disposal slot. For every 15 plates inserted, a Demon Slayer x Kura Sushi Bikkura Pon prize is automatically dispensed from the prize machine. The prize collection is also available for individual purchase in-store and online while supplies last.

The collaboration also includes two merchandise giveaways for Kura Sushi rewards members, who may receive a limited-edition Demon Slayer Kura Sushi graphic T-shirt or towel for every $60 spent in the restaurant on select days

"We are thrilled to bring this exciting collaboration with Kura Sushi USA to Demon Slayer fans across the country, while also introducing sushi lovers to the world of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba," Aiko Makino, marketing manager of Aniplex of America, said in the release. "We hope that fans love the flashy, new Demon Slayer x Kura Sushi Bikkura Pon collection as much as we do."
