Love Live's Kayo Ready for Training in New Outfit Nendoroid

Anime News Network's merchandise coverage sponsored by Tokyo Otaku Mode.

The rice-loving idol girl from μ's is primed and set to begin training as a new Nendoroid.

Hanayo Koizumi (aka Kayo) from Love Live! is joining the previously released training outfit Nendoroids on the Good Smile Company official site. As the name suggests, it features Kayo in her idol training outfit.

The Nendoroid comes with two expressions: one with her gently smiling and one with a serious and diligent look, pictured above. It even comes with a set of removable glasses that can be fashioned on either face.

Accessories include a rice cooker and rice scooper, portraying her trademark love of rice. The Nendoroid costs 3,241 yen (about US$27) and is expected to come out in January 2016.

So far Honoka, Umi, and Kotori were released in their training clothes as Nendoroids. Like the previous releases, customers that pre-order from Good Smile Company's website get a special background. In this case, the background shows the school rooftop at sunset.

The site is also taking pre-orders for the shy and reserved Chino from Is the order a rabbit?

The Chino Nendoroid comes with a variety of expressions including a shy face, a suspicious glare and a face fascinated by something adorable.

It also comes with some accessories like a coffee maker, coffee cup, a teacup and her fluffy friend Tippy. At 4,444 yen (US$36), this Nendoroid will be released in time for the holiday season this year. Customers who pre-order through the Good Smile Company website receive a latte art bonus accessory.
