This 50th anniversary figure celebrates Mihira Sanpei from the classic manga and anime series Tsurikichi Sanpei (Fisherman Sanpei), produced by Jungle Co. Ltd. in collaboration with Zoukei Koubou Mitsurin. Standing at an impressive 410mm tall, it honors one of Japan's most beloved fishing-themed franchises. Fisherman Sanpei, created by Takao Yaguchi, was serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine from 1973 to 1983 across 65 volumes and later adapted into a 109-episode anime by Nippon Animation. The story follows Sanpei, a boy raised by his wise grandfather, who explores rivers, lakes, and mountains in search of fish while developing remarkable angling skills. The series is as much about personal growth as it is about fishing, with Sanpei learning perseverance, humility, patience, and respect for nature through encounters with experienced fishermen, talented rivals, and legendary fish. With over 50 million copies in circulation, it remains one of the best-selling manga series of all time. This anniversary edition figure stands approximately 410mm tall and commemorates five decades of the Tsurikichi Sanpei franchise.
