Forge Panda and Ninomae Ina'nis launch Takodachi artisan keycaps
Forge Panda’s Ninomae Ina’nis line put a Takodachi keycap blind box at the center of a hololive x keyboard crossover, with desk mats, pins and stickers alongside it.
Forge Panda rolled out a dedicated Ninomae Ina’nis collection built around a Takodachi Keycap blind box, turning one of hololive English’s most recognizable mascots into a piece of keyboard deskware. The drop also reached beyond caps, with Geek Jack listing a deskmat, spinning pins, stickers and more in the hololive x Forge Panda lineup.
The Takodachi keycaps were presented as expressive-faced artisan pieces, which gives the release a different pull from a standard character merch run. Forge Panda describes itself on Instagram as crafting unique artisan keycaps that bring keyboards to life, and the company’s storefront now carries a dedicated Ninomae Ina’nis Collection page with the Takodachi Keycap listing front and center.
Geek Jack said the hololive x Forge Panda merch had just been made available and pointed buyers to the full set of Takodachi keycaps, desk mat, spinning pins and stickers. The same collection page on Geek Jack showed the Ninomae Ina’nis desk mat design and the broader product lineup, putting the keyboard-adjacent items in the same lane as the usual hololive desk setup staples.
For keyboard collectors, the blind box format is the detail that changes the calculus. It makes the Takodachi cap feel less like a flat character print and more like a grab at a specific sculpt, which is exactly the sort of format that tends to land with artisan-keycap buyers who already treat individual caps as display pieces as much as functional hardware.
The release also fits a pattern that has been building around hololive hardware collaborations. HYTE previously announced a Ninomae Ina’nis keycap set and desk pad bundle, while hololive English has also pushed other Ina-branded merchandise through SuperGroupies. Forge Panda’s new line pushes that crossover further into the custom-keyboard space, where fandom branding and desk aesthetics increasingly overlap.
That is the real story behind the Takodachi drop: not just another piece of mascot merch, but a branded artisan keycap line built to live on a board, in a tray, or on a deskmat next to the rest of a carefully tuned setup.
