Comic Market (Comiket), the biannual event held each summer and winter, is known for drawing in crowds of upwards of 500,000 to 600,000 people. In order for attendees to be able to easily use their cell phones even in such congestion, telecommunication companies have been putting effort into strengthening their networks. Because of the recent increase in collaborations in this area involving popular anime and manga, they are becoming a staple of Comiket. Even Softbank is joining in for this winter’s Comiket and is collaborating in various ways with the popular anime Kuroko’s Basketball.

First off, for the duration of the event, the name of the Wi-Fi at the venue will be changed to “Ignite Pass.” For those going to the event, be on the lookout for “SB_Ignite_Pass” as a possible network name. “Ignite Pass” is a secret technique of main character Tetsuya Kuroko that fans are well familiar with. There will also be Kuroko’s Basketball mobile base vehicles. Expect to see mobile base vehicles around the venue wrapped in decals of popular characters from Kuroko’s Basketball.

Even the series’ mascot character, Tetsuya #2, will be at Comiket. Original visuals are being creating just for Comiket and these will be all around the venue denoting Wi-Fi locations. Expect to be able to see this cute guy all over the place.

In other news, a promotion in collaboration with Kuroko’s Basketball has begun on Twitter. Those who follow SoftBank’s official Twitter account @SoftBank and retweet the promotion announcement tweet will be entered into a raffle in which 120 people will win presents like a “Signed Collaboration Visual Sheet” and “Tetsuya #2 Wi-Fi Stickers.”
