Haikyu!! Teams Return for a New CLEVER Protein Bar Collaboration

Haikyu!! is stepping back into the spotlight with a fresh collaboration aimed at fans who want to mix anime collectibles with a practical snack. Premium protein brand CLEVER has revealed the fourth edition of its Haikyu!! protein bar series, scheduled to arrive in drugstores across Japan on October 1, 2026. The products will be sold in limited quantities, giving collectors another reason to keep an eye on store shelves this autumn.

This new wave puts four of the anime’s most iconic schools at the center of the campaign. Karasuno is represented by Shoyo Hinata and Tobio Kageyama, while Aoba Johsai features Toru Oikawa and Hajime Iwaizumi. Nekoma fans will find Tetsuro Kuroo and Kenma Kozume, with Kotaro Bokuto and Keiji Akaashi carrying the colors of Fukurodani Academy. Each team receives its own package design, and the bars will be available in two flavors: milk chocolate and strawberry.

The collectible element is once again a major part of the collaboration. Every package includes one randomly selected original mini sticker, with 16 different designs available across the entire collection. Fans will therefore have no way of knowing which character they have received until the package is opened, adding a familiar blind-box style incentive to the release.

Beyond the Haikyu!! branding, each CLEVER protein bar contains 15 grams of protein and is marketed as a low-sugar crunchy chocolate snack suitable after sports or as a quick bite during the day. The collaboration arrives as the franchise prepares for another major period, with Haikyu!! VS The Little Giant and the special anime Haikyu!! Where Monsters Go both planned for 2027.
