Illustrations of three key characters created especially for this UT collaboration collection are shown in theStreet Fighter V: Arcade Edition game, released on 16 January, 2018, and the UNIQLO and UT logo also makes cameo appearances in the game. This special project was unveiled on 12 March for a limited period.

UNIQLO has collaborated with Capcom over the years to bring out Monster Hunter themed UTs. New merchandise celebrates the 15th anniversary of this action role-playing game series, which debuted in 2004 and has cultivated numerous devotees around the globe.

A highlight of the collection is a UT featuring the enigmatic Fatalis Elder Dragon on the back, with the 15thanniversary emblazoned on the front. One design exclusive to the new UT line depicts a camouflaged monster silhouette and unique meat icons from the game.
