Kawasaki went viral after announcing a collaboration that created the adorable “motorcycle frog,” which quickly became a coveted item online.

In partnership with Nakajima Corporation, creator of the Japanese mascot Pickles the Frog, Kawasaki launched a collection of plush toys and other limited-edition items.

The collection, which includes the frog plush and two motorcycle outfits (sold separately), as well as two magnets, two t-shirts, and a fan, is part of the celebrations for the mascot’s 31st anniversary in 2025.

The central slogan of the line is strongly associated with the concept of a “safe return” home. The items will be available exclusively at Kawasaki Plaza locations throughout Japan starting June 1, 2025.

If you want the leather suit for your Pickles plush, it will cost ¥2,420, about US$16.50. But remember you have to buy the frog plush separately, so add ¥3,520, or about US$24, to that amount.
