In addition, from Wednesday, May 14, 2025, when the book goes on sale at all stores, we will be running a campaign where 20 people will receive a luxurious gift that includes a ticket to ride the Oigawa Railway’s Thomas the Tank Engine and original goods from “Niko and…”. “Niko and…” is developing projects that propose unique products and experiences through the nine elements of the brand’s “uni9ue senses” (clothing, food, housing, play, knowledge, health, travel, sound, and LOCAL). “Thomas the Tank Engine” is a character that was created in England and is very popular among both adults and children, and is a story created by British pastor Wilbert Awdry for his son Christopher who is in his hospital bed. A picture book called “The Railway Series” was published in 1945 based on this story. In Japan, it was published in 1973 by Poplar Publishing as the “Train Picture Book” series, and 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the birth of “Thomas the Tank Engine.” This special collaboration item between “Thomas the Tank Engine” and “Niko and …” celebrating the 80th anniversary of the original publication is attractive with vintage-style design artwork that can be enjoyed not only by children but also by adults. We use the original Thomas the Tank Engine picture book “The Railway Series” and incorporate three original designs into the item: “stamp-style stamp design,” “instruction-style design,” and “vintage map-style design.” You can also enjoy miscellaneous goods items with vintage designs typical of “niko and…” as well as men’s apparel and fashion goods. In addition, to commemorate the collaboration, some “niko and…” stores will welcome customers with store decorations that depict the rails of Sodor Island on the store floor. Furthermore, this time, as Oigawa Railway is celebrating its 100th anniversary, we will carry out an even more special collaboration project. In conjunction with the book’s release on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, a total of 20 people will receive a luxurious gift from the “niko and…” official X account, which includes a ticket for the Oigawa Railway’s Thomas the Tank Engine train and a set of “niko and…” original goods. ■ “niko and …” x “Thomas the Tank Engine” collaboration overview Pre-order release date April 16, 2025 (Wednesday) 10:00~Sequentially *Available only at the official web store and ST.

To date, the number of episodes has reached over 500, and it has been broadcast in over 200 regions around the world. In Japan, it has a history of more than 50 years since the publication of the picture book and more than 30 years since the TV broadcast, and is currently broadcast every Saturday on NHK E-Tele. In addition to products such as toys, picture books, and apparel, we are also developing products at numerous touchpoints, including various events, theme parks, and movies. ＜Thomas the Tank Engine Official Website＞ ■About “Oigawa Railway” The Oigawa Railway is a railway that runs along the Oigawa River in the midwestern part of Shizuoka Prefecture. Along the line, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of each season, and its retro vehicles, including steam locomotives, are attractive. In 1976, we were the first in the country to resume operation of steam locomotives, establishing our reputation as a tourist railway. In 2014, we began operating Asia’s first “Thomas the Tank Engine.” It is a popular spot not only for railway fans but also for families and tourists. https://daitetsu.jp/ ■About “niko and …”
