Lucky Star is one the first properties to successfully kick off anime pilgrimages. The Washinomiya Shrine, the Tokyo area's oldest shrine and a real-life backdrop for the Lucky Star anime series, has brought in fans since 2007. Pilgrims have numbered in the 100,000s for New Year's Day celebrations.
Manhole covers featuring anime and video game characters exist across the country, from different Pokemon to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
