When it comes to cult classic franchises that many fans hold in high regard, Capcom’sOkamifranchise is a strong contender. While the original game, released in 2006 and 2008 on the PS2 and Wii respectively, went largely unnoticed for the general public, the HD remaster ofOkamiin 2012 captured the hearts of many.
Okami’s use of world-building with folklore origins, unique ink wash painting visuals, and lovable cast brought attention to a wider audience over time, including for the protagonist Amaterasu. Amaterasu, the sun goddess, takes the form of a wolf that several characters take note to mention is charming. Such charm has also been the base forOkami-related merchandise over the years.

The Capcom Cafe in Ikebukuro recently announced a collaboration withOkamistarting on Jul 29, 2025, where it will sell exclusive merchandise. The Capcom Cafe event will occur shortly afterthe previousMonster Hunter Riseeventthat ended in April. The item that arguably stands out the most from thisOkamicrossover is an adorable Amaterasu sleeping mask priced at 1,980 JPY, or about $18 USD.
Other merchandise that willbe sold during theOkamieventinclude an acrylic clock, a phone stand, a mini towel, and a file folder, all including unique artwork exclusive to Capcom Cafe. Other expected goods such as pins, stickers, and keychains will also be available for purchase, although items including paper clips and cherry blossom scented bath salts are on the more unique and interesting side of the spectrum.
Fans who are wary of breaking the bank with their purchases will be happy to note that the most expensive item in this collection, the acrylic clock, checks in at 3,850 JPY or about $35 USD. That alone ischeaper than the oversized Amaterasu plushsold duringOkami’s14th anniversary event in November, which retailed at almost $71 USD. The future of theOkamiseries outside of cute plushies and sleeping masks remains uncertain, although it has been a talking point for several of the staff that worked on the title.
Hideki Kamiya, who was the director ofOkami, pitched a potentialOkami 2alongsideBayonetta 3in the past. Most notably, Ikumi Nakamura, who was part of the development team forOkami,had expressed interest in pitching the idea for a sequel to Capcom, with the proposal that Kamiya will have a director role. With Capcom attending E3 this year, it is wishful thinking for fans to expect anyOkaminews, but the possibility is there.
