Description: Kazuhiko Kikuchi (#36 MF, Albirex Niigata)
Kazuhiko Kikuchi was a tenacious midfielder for Albirex Niigata, known for his work rate and defensive contributions in the center of the field. Kikuchi was a vital player for the club, helping to disrupt opposition play and link up defense with attack. Albirex Niigata, a club known for its strong connection with the city of Niigata, has developed into a solid team in the J.LEAGUE, with a passionate fanbase supporting their steady rise. Kikuchi’s BE@RBRICK figure features the team's orange kit with his number 36 on the back, representing his relentless energy on the pitch.
The Gatorade J.LEAGUE BE@RBRICK Collection, released in March 2006, was an exciting collaboration between Gatorade and BE@RBRICK that captured the essence of Japan's top football league. This limited-edition collection featured 19 players, each representing a different team from the J1 League. Each figure meticulously replicated the player’s uniform, number, and team colors, all in a compact 50mm tall BE@RBRICK format.
The campaign was simple but captivating: with the purchase of a 525ml bottle of Gatorade, customers would receive a randomly packaged BE@RBRICK from the collection. The figures were distributed in blind boxes, adding an element of surprise for the collectors, who could not see which player they were receiving until after the purchase. This created excitement and encouraged fans to collect all 19 figures. The collaboration between Gatorade and J.LEAGUE aimed to blend sports culture with collectible art, attracting both football fans and BE@RBRICK enthusiasts. The campaign only lasted for a limited time, making these figures highly sought after and rare for collectors today.
Don’t miss your chance to own the Kazuhiko Kikuchi BE@RBRICK, a limited-edition figure from the exclusive Gatorade J.LEAGUE collection. This collectible captures the energy and commitment of one of Albirex Niigata’s most dedicated midfielders. Order now and add a piece of football history to your collection!
