Uniqlo's U.S. site already lists nine new Studio Ghibli tees, including a No-Face kids' shirt, tagged "Arriving late Jan." Adult tees cost $29.90, $5 more than last year's Ghibli shirts.
Totoro fans, put a reminder on the calendar for January.
Uniqlo's new Studio Ghibli UT collection is coming to the U.S. in late January 2027. Uniqlo's U.S. website already lists all nine tees with an "Arriving late Jan" tag.
The prices are up, too. Adult tees cost $29.90, and kids' tees cost $12.90. Uniqlo's 2025 Ghibli tees sold for $24.90 in the U.S., SoraNews24 reported, so grown-ups pay $5 more this round.
Essential Japan reported the new lineup Tuesday, Nov. 10. It covers four films: My Neighbor Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, Castle in the Sky and Spirited Away. The theme is "Live for Today, My Dear."
When does the Uniqlo Studio Ghibli collection come out?
It depends on where you live, according to Essential Japan:
Thailand: mid-December 2026
Taiwan: late December 2026
U.S., U.K., Ireland and Spain: late January 2027
Japan: not confirmed
Japan sat out the 2025 Ghibli UT collection, too, which Essential Japan tied to licensing arrangements. So for once, American fans are ahead of Tokyo.
Uniqlo hasn't named an exact U.S. day. You can add items to a wish list on its site to get availability updates.
What designs are in the Uniqlo Ghibli UT collection?
Nine T-shirts: five for adults and four for kids. There are no sweatshirts this time, unlike 2025.
Adult tees, $29.90, sizes XXS to 3XL:
Howl's Moving Castle: pale yellow, with a small Calcifer and Turnip Head
Castle in the Sky: olive green, with the Robot Soldier
My Neighbor Totoro: black, with a pile of soot sprites
My Neighbor Totoro: white, with the character logo
Live for Today, My Dear: white, with characters from across the studio's films and artwork by Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki
Kids' tees, $12.90, sizes 3-4 years to 13 years:
Spirited Away: No-Face on light blue
Howl's Moving Castle: Calcifer on pale yellow
My Neighbor Totoro: the character logo on black
Live for Today, My Dear: the all-character design on white
Uniqlo's product photos show the adult Howl's tee with a small chest print and the white Totoro logo tee with a big back print of a dreamy balloon scene.
Calcifer and the "Live for Today" art come in both adult and kids' sizes. So yes, you can match your kid. The kids' version costs less than half as much.
How much was the last Uniqlo Ghibli collection?
Uniqlo's 2025 U.S. line launched July 10, 2025, SoraNews24 reported. It covered eight films plus an "Everything Ghibli" design, including The Boy and the Heron, Kiki's Delivery Service and Princess Mononoke.
SoraNews24 listed those adult tees at $24.90 and sweatshirts at $39.90. Uniqlo's U.S. page also offered kids' sizes from 3 to 13 years.
Uniqlo threw in a Los Angeles perk that summer. Buying two pieces at its Century City or Glendale stores came with tickets to a July 12 screening of Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service or Howl's Moving Castle at Brain Dead Studios, per Uniqlo's U.S. page.
Uniqlo hasn't announced anything like that for the 2027 drop.
What's the cheapest way to get the Ghibli tees?
Buy the kids' sizes if they fit. The biggest kids' size is 13 years, labeled 160 on Uniqlo's site, which can work for some smaller adults.
Otherwise, plan on $29.90 per adult tee before tax and shipping. A family of four with two adult and two kids' tees would spend $85.60, by our math.
That's less than one night of Totoro-level stress about what to wear to the movie marathon.
