Anime News Network's merchandise coverage sponsored by Tokyo Otaku Mode

Toro Inoue and Kuro, the white and black cat mascots for the PlayStation consoles in Japan, have wandered into some unusual territory — the dark world of Danganronpa and the fantasy take on feudal Japan of Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer.





Nao Horiguchi, the cats' original character designer, also drew these illustrations of Toro and Koro imitating Danganronpa's Monomi and Monokuma...

... and Shiren the Wanderer's Shiren and Asuka.

Merchandise featuring these crossovers will be sold at the Hope's Peak Academy School Store Expanded Edition: Spike Chunsoft Grand Autumn Cultural Festival, a fair for Spike Chunsoft-related goods to be held at the Shibuya Marui department store from September 9 to 23. Toro and Kuro originally appeared in the PlayStation virtual life game Doko Demo Issyo ("Together Everywhere") in 1999.
