GeGeGe no Kitarō is the long-running manga and anime franchise created by Shigeru Mizuki, first serialized in 1960 and drawing heavily on Mizuki's own wartime experiences and his obsessive study of traditional Japanese yōkai folklore. Tuvalu has issued a substantial volume of licensed pop-culture bullion and collector coins since the early 2000s — a deliberate revenue strategy for a nation with negligible export income and a land area under 26 square kilometers.
One troy ounce of .9999 fine gold bearing a character from a Japanese children's horror franchise is exactly the kind of collision that defines the Pacific island commemorative coin trade.
