Anker Japan announced on May 27, 2026, a lineup of four new Pokemon-themed products, combining charging accessories with an audio device[1]. The lineup includes a USB fast charger, a travel adapter and a travel pouch, plus the company's first-ever Pokemon-themed earcuff-style wireless earbuds[1]. Sales are scheduled to begin in early July 2026 through the Anker Japan official online store, Anker Store retail locations, Amazon.co.jp, Rakuten Ichiba, and selected consumer electronics retailers[1][2].
Three Pikachu-Themed Products for Daily Carry and Travel
Of the four products announced, three feature Pikachu silhouette designs aimed at charging and travel scenarios[1].
The "Anker USB Fast Charger 70W Pikachu Model" is a compact USB charger that delivers up to 70W from a single port, priced at 7,990 yen (tax included)[1]. With two USB-C ports and one USB-A port for a total of three outputs, it can charge up to three devices simultaneously, including notebook PCs such as the MacBook Air[1]. The bundled USB-C cable features a Poke Ball illustration on its connector, and a Pikachu silhouette cable tie is included in the package[1].
The "Anker Travel Adapter Pikachu Model," priced at 5,990 yen (tax included), is a plug-conversion adapter that supports the A, C, and G outlet types and other major shapes, allowing it to be used in more than 200 countries and regions according to Anker[1]. It also features a Poke Ball section that lights up when powered[1]. Note that the product is a plug adapter only, not a voltage converter, so a separate transformer is required if the destination voltage does not match the device's supported voltage range[1].
The "Anker Travel Pouch Pikachu Model," priced at 3,990 yen (tax included), is sized to hold the charger, travel adapter and the wireless earbuds described below together in one place[1]. It comes with an interior pocket for organizing small accessories, and is positioned for both everyday gadget carry and travel use[1].
Anker Japan's First Pokemon-Themed Earbuds: Soundcore C50i
On the audio side, the "Soundcore C50i Pikachu Model / Eevee Model" earcuff-style wireless earbuds mark the first time Anker Japan has applied a Pokemon design to an audio product[1]. Pricing is set at 13,990 yen (tax included) and the lineup comes in two variations, Pikachu and Eevee[1].
The Soundcore C50i is an open-ear earphone worn by clipping onto the outer ear, leaving the ear canal open so the wearer can hear ambient sound while listening to music[1]. The product is positioned to be worn like a fashion accessory: the Pikachu Model uses a sporty black and yellow palette with a Pikachu silhouette, while the Eevee Model is finished in a soft beige-brown tone designed to blend with skin tones[1]. The two colorways are intended to make it easier to match the earbuds with everyday outfits[1].
Expanding the Pokemon Collaboration from Charging to Audio
Anker Japan has previously released Pikachu-themed charging products with the aim of broadening its appeal beyond core gadget fans to a wider audience[1]. The new lineup keeps that goal under the concept "With Pokemon, daily life and travel become an adventure," extending the design from on-the-go USB chargers and travel adapters with their carry pouch to a new audio category[1].
The notable point is that the silhouette-driven design language Anker has built up on chargers and power banks is now being applied to wireless earbuds, a much more fashion-oriented product category[1]. Earcuff-style earbuds are clearly visible while worn, which creates a new way to carry the Pikachu silhouette or Eevee color palette as part of daily styling. Anker has been certified as the world's number one mobile charging brand for five years in a row based on retail sales between 2020 and 2024, and the company is now using that long-standing charger know-how and brand strength to broaden the scope of its collaboration products[1].
Distribution channels include the Anker Japan official online store, Anker Store retail locations, Amazon.co.jp, Rakuten Ichiba, and selected consumer electronics retailers, with a dedicated landing page set up on the Anker Japan online store for this lineup[1][2]. Detailed release schedules and stock information will be shared progressively through that special page[2].
Summary
Starting in early July 2026, Anker Japan will sell four Pokemon-themed products: a Pikachu-designed USB fast charger, a travel adapter, a travel pouch, and the "Soundcore C50i" earcuff-style wireless earbuds in Pikachu and Eevee variants. Prices range from 3,990 yen to 13,990 yen (tax included), and the products will be available through the Anker Japan official online store, Amazon.co.jp, Rakuten Ichiba and other partners. For fans who want to carry their gadgets together with Pokemon, from daily commutes to overseas trips, the lineup makes it easy to put together a coordinated set in one go.
