ROOSTER FIGHTER - POP & Buddy N° 2164 - Kaiji & Piyoko

This figurine from Funko’s POP & Buddy range features the brave, determined and indispensable pair of chickens before they made their name: the formidable Keiji accompanied by his faithful companion Piyoko.

The figure features the stylised features and proportions typical of Funko figures, with its characteristic design. This specific model belongs to the POP & Buddy range, a series that reimagines iconic characters alongside their faithful sidekicks with more dynamic poses and enhanced detail, whilst retaining the standard box dimensions. The plastic sculpture pays meticulous attention to the characters’ physical attributes, capturing Keiji’s ferocity, Piyoko’s innocence and their physique as defenders of humanity. The paintwork faithfully captures the contrasting colours of their plumage and Keiji’s iconic crest to illustrate the psychology of this demanding duo.

This officially licensed collectable figurine is primarily aimed at fans of the world of action manga and offbeat humour, enthusiasts of this universe, and collectors of the Funko brand. The item is supplied in its original display box, which is numbered and features artwork in the colours of the series.

Inspired by the work and expanded universe of Rooster Fighter (Coq de Baston), Keiji is a proud and solitary fighting cock travelling across Japan with a single goal: to avenge his sister’s death by hunting down the giant demons (the Kijû) that threaten the balance of the world. Accompanied on his adventures by Piyoko, an adorable little chick who regards him as her mentor, he grows up amidst the most violent urban clashes, learning to hide his sensitivity behind a tough-guy attitude and strict moral values to protect his friends. It is he who unleashes his devastating attack through the power of song to slay the monsters, having sacrificed his own peace of mind to save humanity from external threats. This marks the start of a gruelling journey, in which this big-hearted fighter uses his determination to navigate through apocalyptic crises, becoming the elite vigilante essential to halting destructive conflicts and restoring peace to the cities.
