Jul 16, 2026 UT
This summer, ZO&FRIENDS — the widely loved characters from the global character brand LINE FRIENDS — arrive as part of the UT collection. ZOA, a cloud cat who always takes it slow and appears aloof but is deeply caring, alongside A&NE, a lovable busybody whose warm and playful medddling brings a smile, and AKI and ZAKI, wild and unpredictable colorful bubbles born from ZOA's footprints. Alongside the T-shirt designs, we introduce the charm of this endearing little crew — and, to mark the collection launch, the exclusive ZO&FRIENDS displays appearing in Uniqlo stores around the world.

How "ZO&FRIENDS" Came to Be


ZO&FRIENDS is a character universe centered on a cast of unique companions, including ZOA, the cloud cat, and A&NE. Brought to life through the creative vision of LINE FRIENDS, the series has captured hearts with its distinctive charm. The name "ZO&FRIENDS" carries the story of ZOA and A&NE meeting and growing into good friends — a phrase that also nods to the Korean word for "good" or "to like" (choa / joa), distilling the essence of the characters and their unique worldview into a single name.

ZO&FRIENDS
Since its debut in summer 2025, ZO&FRIENDS has won fans through a series of pop-up projects and social media across Korea and Japan and out into the wider world — Asia, North America, the Middle East — with the number of people charmed by its sweetness climbing fast. And now, through this collaboration with UT, the very first ZO&FRIENDS T-shirt collection in the world was born.

Perfectly imperfect friends, ZO&FRIENDS
