This is not a banknote. Bad Badtz-Maru is a Sanrio character — the penguin-adjacent mascot launched in 1993 — and no Japanese government authority has issued any legal tender denominated in yen featuring Sanrio intellectual property. Japan's 10,000-yen notes are issued exclusively by the Bank of Japan under strict design protocols administered by the Ministry of Finance.
What this item almost certainly is: a novelty gift note, a souvenir, or a fantasy piece produced for retail sale. Not a collectible in the numismatic sense.
