Drink to Yoshikage, Dress Like Rohan With New JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Tea Set, Accessories

The JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable anime and high-end ceramics maker Noritake unveiled a Rohan Kishibe tea set in October, and now the partnership is adding to its lineup with a Yoshikage Kira set. Fans who want to channel their inner serial killers (!?) can purchase the set inspired by the anime series' antagonist.

Bandai is offering the bone china cup and saucer set that features decorations the color of Yoshikage's suit. The purple, black, and gold design also mimics the character's trademark tie. Skulls inspired by Yoshikage's Stand, Killer Queen, provide a touch of macabre embellishment.

The set retails at 9,720 yen (about US$82), and Bandai began accepting orders on Wednesday. The set is slated to ship in May.

Manga creator Hirohiko Araki's character Rohan, who is also his fictional alter ego, is so popular that Bandai also unveiled an entire line of Rohan accessories. The collection's signature item is the "ROHAN's G-pen accessory" earrings, available in gold and silver for 12,960 yen (about US$110).

The Rohan goods lineup includes:

"ROHAN's G-pen accessory" earrings
12,960 yen (US$110)

Leather round wallet (long)
21,600 yen (US$183)
