Tite Kubo, the creator of BLEACH, is a cover star of Hypebeast Magazine Issue 38: The Juice Issue — and he marked the occasion by designing a brand-new character for a limited-edition Hypebeast capsule. It is a rare case of a manga legend drawing directly for a streetwear drop.

The capsule is deliberately tight: just two pieces. The Hypebeast x TITE KUBO Graphic T-Shirt comes in black, in 100% cotton with a semi-oversized fit, while the Graphic Ball Cap is a black six-panel with a curved brim. Both are made in Korea and produced in limited quantities, keeping the drop closer to a collector’s item than a mass release.

The timing fits BLEACH’s scale: the series ran for 15 years across 686 chapters and has sold more than 130 million copies. For fans, a new Kubo character on a tee and cap is the kind of crossover that rarely happens — and with HBX as the only stockist, it will not sit around.
