Media-X Inc. Press Release: September 5, 2025 Danjuro Ichikawa x NEO TOKYO PUNKS (NIKO24) Kabuki NFT Sales Confirmed! A co-creation project has been launched in which Ichikawa Danjūrō and NFT holders will work together to create a “new kabuki culture” and share it with the world. NFT sales are scheduled to begin in October 2025. We are looking for “partners” to help us create the future of kabuki culture through NFTs and share it with the world. Produced by the comprehensive media organization DAAAMO. The first “Collaboration Commemorative NFT (tentative name)” by Ichikawa Danjūrō, a representative figure in the Kabuki world, and NEO TOKYO PUNKS (artist NIKO24), a representative figure in the Web3 world, has been scheduled for sale in October 2025. This NFT serves as proof of the “friends” who are passing on Kabuki culture to the future and spreading it to the world. It is the first project in this series. In addition, as the second project, we plan to sell a “Membership Card NFT (tentative name)” with special utility. Some of these NFTs will be available in limited quantities and come with rare bonuses. The sales period will be announced at a later date. Through these, holders will be able to participate not just as spectators, but as central members who “co-create, co-protect, and co-promote” Kabuki alongside Ichikawa Danjūrō. This project is part of the “Japanese Traditional Culture Project (Kabuki Project),” produced by DAAAMO, a comprehensive media organization that develops projects spanning culture, entertainment, and Web3 both domestically and internationally. Leveraging NFTs and the metaverse, the project aims to create new experiences that bring traditional Japanese culture, including kabuki, to the world. It also aims to link with the DADA economic zone, which DAAAMO is cooperating in developing, to enhance value on a global scale and ensure sustainable cultural preservation.
