Arino Kacho bravely tackles legendary retro games! From the popular show "Game Center CX," currently airing on Fuji TV ONE Sports & Variety, Arino Kacho appears as a 100% and 400% BE@RBRICK. We present this along with a valuable comment from Arino himself.

Shinya Arino (Yoiko) plays as Arino Kacho of the fictional company "Game Center CX Kogyo Co., Ltd.," playing retro games until the ending each time!

"Game Center CX," which began airing in 2003, will soon enter its 23rd year. In June 2025, to commemorate the 400th episode, a 400-minute live broadcast was successfully completed on FOD & CS (partially live on Fuji TV). Following this in July, the event "Game Center CX Symphony 2025," where an orchestra played background music and sound effects to accompany Arino Kacho's live challenge, was held, concluding with great success for both the afternoon and evening performances.

The "BE@RBRICK Game Center CX Arino Kacho" announced for release this time features transparent parts for the BE@RBRICK's ears, recreating Arino Kacho's distinctively styled hair. The "Hie-pitta" cooling sheets, which he has long used to concentrate on games during "Arino's Challenge" and have even been featured in program collaborations, along with his work clothes, are also perfectly reproduced.

The 400% version will be exclusively sold on AmiAmi Online Shop starting October 3, 2025, at 6:00 PM. The 100% version will be included with the "Game Center CX DVD-BOX 22 Limited Edition Special Edition," scheduled for release on December 12, 2025.

"Game Center CX DVD-BOX 22" is the 22nd installment in the annual long-selling DVD series. This time's "Arino's Challenge" includes the complete versions of "Rockman 5: Blues' Trap!?" and "I.Q Intelligent Qube," along with "Super Monkey Ball," "Clock Tower: Ghost Head," "Wrecking Crew," "Gain Ground," and "The New Zealand Story." The "Games We Sometimes Visit" segment features "Toy Park Masamiya," "Kobayashi Kashi Ten," "Dekoboko Shop," "OGATAYA Store," "Game Center Le Monde Komagata," "Gorilla Batting Center Minamihatogaya Branch," and "Game Ing Goody 21."
The newly filmed bonus footage features a challenge of "Monster Hunter," released in March 2004. This also looks to be unmissable content.

The limited edition special edition includes the "BE@RBRICK Game Center CX Arino Kacho 100%," a paper model of the "Challenge Room" in the same scale, and a "Game Center CX Kogyo Co., Ltd. Employee Handbook (Mini Notebook, 44 pages)" – a luxurious set.

Now, without further ado, we present Arino Kacho's special comments!

── Please tell us your thoughts on the completed BE@RBRICK.

Arino KachoThe quality is great. They even captured the pale creamy green of Kacho's work clothes well.
I personally liked the bear ears, but this hairstyle is also good.
The dead-looking eyes are also a nice touch (laughs).

Ideally, I'd want them to embed a magnet in the chin so it could be rolled around in a sandbox, pick up iron filings, and recreate Kacho's beard from the latter half of his challenges.
Ah, but I wish professional modelers would create various versions of Kacho... and then I wish they'd have an Arino Kacho booth at Comiket next year.

Around the time BE@RBRICK was born, I think there was a general design competition. It reminded me of the bitter memory of Yoiko, who held monthly talk shows back then, each drawing an illustration and sending it in. It was bitter. We lost and weren't made into BE@RBRICKs (laughs).

What was it like, you ask...
Because the body shape was cute, I think I drew a middle-aged bald man in a tank top.
Well, I guess nobody would want it. I reported at the live show that it wasn't sent in as Yoiko, you know.
I think both of us were putting on a brave face.

Also, when it was released in 2001, I remember watching TV and seeing scriptwriter Ochimasato praise BE@RBRICK highly.
He said, "If you think about clothing, you invented the T-shirt, right? This will never disappear." I remember that.
At the time, I thought, "What is he talking about?" But it's true, it hasn't disappeared. I'm honored to be placed alongside them.
The sizes, 100% and 400%, are also good.
7cm or 28cm.
A big Kacho is nice, but a small Kacho is also good!
I want people to display both on their desks.

I used to frequent the MEDICOM TOY store in Shibuya.
I also owned over 20 Kamen Rider 1/6 scale figures.
I bought them every time one was released.
I gave them all to a junior who liked figures, but I wonder where that junior is now.
If this Kacho BE@RBRICK becomes popular, I want to be included in the 1/6 Real Action Heroes series of Arino Kacho!
Though, he's not really a hero who performs realistic action.
He just sits and plays games, though.

── Please leave a message for the fans considering purchasing.

Arino KachoLately, flat acrylic stands have become popular, but when it comes to display, you can't beat a solid, three-dimensional BE@RBRICK.
I want you to place the 100% version on your desk.
It should encourage you to work hard in your job and studies, thinking, "Kacho hasn't given up, so I won't either!"
As for the 400%, I want you to keep it chilled in the refrigerator (laughs). I want you to be reminded of me every time you see it, thinking, "Ah, Kacho's here."
It's good whether you place it on a shelf or stand it next to the mayonnaise.
Ah, the refrigerator idea is interesting. I think I'll put one in my refrigerator too.
I'll leave it there until my kids say, "Dad, it's in the way."
