My Hero Academia Keychains - Merchandise

My Hero Academia is an ongoing manga series that is written and illustrated by Kohei Horikoshi and published in Weekly Shonen Jump. Since its debut in 2014, it has skyrocketed in popularity all over the globe with its appealing characters and its interesting story. After the success of the original manga, an anime adaptation produced by studio Bones was announced and quickly went on to perform exceedingly well. The popularity of the series as a whole has led a rather large amount of merchandise to be produced. The series’ large cast of endearing characters caused character-based items like figures, plushies and cosplay to sell well, though smaller accessories like keychains featuring designs based on fan-favorite characters like Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, and Ochaco Uraraka are great for fans on a smaller budget. While there is a rather large variety of keychains that come in many shapes and sizes, a few of the most popular keychains that are currently available include the “My Hero Academia Battle Cake Acrylic Keychain Collection”, the “My Hero Academia Autumn Reading Full Body Acrylic Keychain Collection”, the “My Hero Academia Metal Keychain Collection”, and the “My Hero Academia Curry Acrylic Keychain Collection”.

This collection of keychains feature a variety of different students from UA’s Class 1-A in their respective hero costumes.

For example, Ochaco holds a single piece of cake served on a plate while “Sugarman” Sato carries a comically large cake that is nearly as wide as his shoulders. This collection of sweet keychains includes the following characters to choose from: Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, Ochaco Uraraka, Shoto Todoroki, Eijiro Kirishima, Denki Kaminari, Kyoka Jiro, and Rikido Sato.

About Keychains

Keychains are a fairly inexpensive form of merchandise that acts as a simple, yet effective way for fans to enjoy a smaller item that is based on their favorite series. Keychains based on anime series often feature popular characters from their respective series. Sometimes, keychain collections will have a variety of characters dressed up for a specific theme or season. Although clear acrylic keychains are one of the most popular kinds of keychains, other keychains made of rubber acrylic, metal, and plush fabric are also commonly available. While fans can simply add these keychains to a keyring, others may use them as a charm by attaching them to a phone or backpack as well.
