Today Im going to be taking a look at ORANGE ROUGEs newest member who has his birthday today
Nendoroid Koujaku!
From the popular PC game DRAMAtical Murder comes a Nendoroid of Aobas childhood friend, Koujaku! He comes with three expressions including his standard expression, a content smile as well as a blushing, embarrassed expression. The unique appearance of his kimono from the gradient coloring to the patterns that adorn it have been faithfully shrunk down to Nendoroid size.His sword has been included in both its sheathed form and drawn form for you to choose from, and he also includes alternate hand parts that allow you to display him grasping Nendoroid Aobas hands. His AllMate Beni is of course also included to display by his side! Be sure to add the empathic Koujaku to your collection!
Ooooooohh!! (´□`。
Apologies for the wait since his announcement! The reliable leader of the Benishigure who also works as a hairdresser, Koujaku is finally joining the Nendoroids!
The long hair that covers his right eye, his intricate yet beautiful red kimono, gentle eyes and just overflowing manliness have all been beautifully transformed into Nendoroid size! (/ω\
Just look at details of his outfit!! <○><○>
The bottom of the kimono not only has a lovely gradient effect, but also has all the flower patterns faithfully printed on at the bottom even in Nendoroid size!
The details of his hairpin and sword are also absolutely stunning!! ♪
Plus the sword is also included unsheathed as a separate part, so you can pose him showing off his strength and vigour with his sword drawn! ♡
Plus as you probably realized from the above he comes with alternate arm parts that allow you to choose between placing his arm inside the kimono, or instead through the sleeve! ヽ(*・ω・
人(・ω・*)ノ
The pose with his arm inside the kimono is definitely how many fans known him so it simply had to be included, but he still comes with standard arm parts for all sorts of other posing options! The short tied up bit of hair over his shoulder is also fitted with a joint allowing you to match it with your poses! ♪

Anyway, lets move on to another part included with Koujaku
