Uniqlo Launches Two New DAN DA DAN UT T-Shirt Designs
Uniqlo is deepening its partnership with the hit anime DAN DA DAN, unveiling two fresh UT T-shirt designs slated for a summer release. Departing from previous editions, this drop focuses exclusively on standout scenes and characters from the anime’s first season, rendered in a sophisticated, toned-down color scheme.
One design, in a muted purple, captures the tension of an early episode where Momo is chased by a trio of Serpo aliens—offering a stylized snapshot of the chaos with a minimalist touch. The other, in deep navy, showcases a striking image of a transformed Okarun carrying Momo in midair, a visual tribute to the high-octane finale of the Turbo Granny Arc.
Scheduled to hit Uniqlo Japan stores in late July, the latest DAN DA DAN UT additions continue to merge bold anime visuals with modern, wearable design. A release date for the U.S. market is yet to be announced.
