Kayou, China’s No. 1 collectibles company and one of the world’s fastest-growing collectible trading card brands, is entering a pivotal year of expansion in the U.S. market.

Following a breakout launch at New York Comic Con and a sell-out 2025 holiday season, Kayou is showcasing major IP expansions, first looks at new collectible trading card releases, and the introduction of new product categories designed to deepen how fans engage with their favorite worlds.
Already a global powerhouse in collectible trading cards, Kayou is known for its breathtaking artistry, premium craftsmanship, and a vast universe of nearly 100 iconic brands. Guided by its “Here for the Superfans” philosophy, Kayou creates products with purpose–designed to deepen emotional connection, spark joy, and let fans celebrate the stories and characters that shape who they are. Fans can collect, display, wear and live their fandom every day. More of those worlds will arrive in the U.S., with new collectible trading card releases alongside expanded product categories in the pipeline, including collectible figures, stationery, accessories and card-plus-collectible bundles.
In 2026, as Kayou accelerates its U.S. expansion, the company will introduce officially licensed collectibles for a slate of beloved entertainment, anime and pop culture franchises.
