TAITO has announced a new piece of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure merchandise that transforms one of the series’ most recognizable objects into a functional PC accessory. The company will begin distributing a wired computer mouse based on the iconic Stone Mask from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood through its online and physical claw machines across Japan starting in mid-July.
The Stone Mask plays a major role in the first part of Hirohiko Araki’s long-running manga series, making it one of the most memorable symbols in the franchise. Instead of following the design of a traditional computer mouse, TAITO has recreated the mask with its detailed facial features, giving fans a collectible that also functions as a USB mouse.
When connected to a computer, the mask’s eyes light up with a red LED effect, recreating its mysterious appearance from the manga and anime. The lighting feature is purely decorative but adds to the overall presentation, making it an interesting desk accessory for collectors and anime fans.
The mouse measures approximately 11cm in length and uses a wired connection. While it can perform the basic functions expected from a computer mouse, its sculpted shape is far from the ergonomic designs found on modern gaming or office mice. As a result, it is better suited as a display item or collectible rather than a mouse intended for long hours of everyday use.
Key details include:
- Inspired by the Stone Mask from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood
- Scheduled to appear in TAITO’s online and physical claw machines across Japan from mid-July
- Wired USB computer mouse design
- Approximately 11cm in length
- Red LED lighting effect activates when connected to a PC
- Designed primarily as a collectible rather than an ergonomic everyday mouse
TAITO has released many anime-themed prize items over the years, and the Stone Mask mouse joins a growing lineup of collectibles based on popular manga and anime franchises. Items available through Japanese claw machines often become sought-after collectibles, especially when they are tied to well-known series like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
At the time of writing, TAITO has not announced plans to sell the Stone Mask mouse through traditional retail stores or release it outside Japan. Fans interested in obtaining one will likely need to visit participating TAITO arcades, use the company’s online crane game services, or wait for the item to appear through third-party retailers after launch.
For JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure fans looking to add something unusual to their collection, the Stone Mask mouse offers a fun way to bring one of the series’ most iconic artifacts onto the desktop, even if it isn’t the most practical choice for everyday computing.
