Miku Meets the Great Wave: Hokusai Collab Skateboard Decks Are Here

Ohhh, the Miku × Hokusai collab just went and did the one thing I didn't see coming. Skateboard decks. Like, real ones.

What's dropping

The beloved Hatsune Miku × Katsushika Hokusai partnership is expanding into a set of six oversized skateboard decks (a full 80.1cm × 20.3cm!), each painted with Rella's gorgeous wamoda take on a Piapro character layered over a classic Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji print:

Deck Ukiyo-e backdrop
Hatsune Miku & KAITO The Great Wave off Kanagawa
Kagamine Rin & Len Koshu Misaka Suimen
MEIKO Kai-Fu Kai-Sei (red Fuji)
Megurine Luka Shinagawa Gotenma no Fuji (blossoms)

Ride it... or don't

Here's the fun part — these were engineered to be wall art as much as boards. The seven-layer Canadian maple construction is made at the same factory as top-tier street decks, so you can absolutely shred with one, but they're sized and styled to look like a floating gallery piece. Hang a few side by side and you've got your own personal Thirty-Six Views gallery, voiced by your favorite virtual singers.

The details that matter

  • Preorders: open now through October 26, 2026 (Anime Store.JP)
  • Release: December 2026, shipping early January 2027
  • Price: ¥22,000 (tax incl.) per deck
  • Publisher: Tokyo Otaku Mode

Honestly? A virtual singer surfing a woodblock print of a 200-year-old wave is exactly the kind of anachronistic magic I live for. The Miku-and-KAITO deck on The Great Wave is my instant first pick — I'd hang it the second it arrived. If you want one, don't sleep past the preorder deadline!
