Producing novelty items for the 3×3 team "Zigexn Updaters"
To match the official characters of "ZIGExN UPDATERS.EXE (Zigexn Updaters)," a professional 3×3 (3-on-3 basketball) team owned by Zigexn Co., Ltd.—"Shogotan," "Kamonasu," and "Kin-san," modeled on "Kyoto vegetables"—we mixed three varieties, Shogoin daikon, Kamo eggplant, and Kyo Kurenai carrot, into one bag and packaged it in an original cover paper.
* "Shogotan" is modeled on the Shogoin turnip, but due to growing season and quantity, it was changed to Shogoin daikon.

About the Zigexn Updaters official characters
Players of 3×3 (3-on-3 basketball) who are Kyoto's traditional Kyoto vegetables. Their personalities and favorite things (and tastes) differ, but dreaming of "becoming famous as a trio," they respect one another and hone their skills day by day. They are a trio: trend-sensitive Shogotan the Shogoin turnip (left), easygoing Kamonasu the Kamo eggplant (center), and Kin-san the Kintoki carrot (right), who is smart but clumsy with his hands.
Shogotan(left)
The team's youngest. His appeal is his low dribble and speed. The most talkative mood-maker on the team, he loves to dress up. He started basketball under the influence of his older brother (Shogoin daikon), who is active in the B.League.
- Number: 45
- Position: Guard
- Height: 180cm (with leaves; 167cm without)
Kamonasu(center)
The team's top scorer. His eyebrows rise when he holds the ball. An easygoing type who is basically asleep except when he is on court or eating. He drinks three times as much water as a person. He also loves rice.
- Number: 74
- Position: Forward
- Height: 178cm (with leaves)
Kin-san(right)
The team's top two-point shooter. Kind, smart, and academically and physically accomplished, but abnormally clumsy with his hands and prone to breaking his belongings. He replaces his shoes four times a year.
- Number: 22
- Position: Center
- Height: 188cm (with leaves)

Novelty development using Kyoto vegetables
At Agriture, we'll develop our business toward sustainable food sourcing and food-loss reduction—not only dried vegetables that upcycle off-grade vegetables, but also Kyoto vegetables and heirloom vegetables from other regions.
If your company is considering adopting dried vegetables, please inquire with us.
