In one of the best puns to come out of Golden Kamuy, the Koito family will make their Children’s Day debut as Koinobori (carp streamers) at the Tokyo Skytree and in the family’s hometown of Kagoshima at the Sengan-en Garden this month. Alongside the streamers, a pop-up shop will be held in both places with games based on the series.

The top Koinobori is based on the father, Heiji Koito, and flies at 4 meters long. The next two are based on the mother of the family, Yuki Koito, and the older brother Heinojo Koito, flying 3 meters long. Finally, the most well-known Koito and younger brother, Otonoshin is 2 meters long.
