Anime Character Donuts

The Mister Donut Pikachu Donut Will Arrive in Japan in November

— August 22, 2023 — Lifestyle
The Mister Donut Pikachu donut is being launched by the brand in Japan as a charming treat for avid fans of the Pokémon franchise to try out this winter. The donut is expected to arrive at participating locations in November and boasts an all-yellow finish that's accented by the smiling face of the anime character. The donut is accented by a set of ears to give it even more character, while also providing additional parts for snackers to nibble off.

The Mister Donut Pikachu donut is expected to be joined by additional Pokémon-themed donuts including Psyduck, which will no doubt entice fans of all ages. The treats are likely to be a limited-edition offering only around during a single season.
