AI Avatar Inc. is pleased to announce its entry into the trading card market through a collaboration with Card Hobby. At the company event “AIA NEW ERA AWARD 2026” held on July 20, 2026, internationally acclaimed one-stroke dragon artist Keisuke Tejima opened the event with a breathtaking performance that filled the venue with excitement. Trading cards featuring world-class athletes including Shohei Ohtani, Lionel Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo sold out completely — all 162 cards — within just 10 minutes of going on sale.
The one-stroke dragon, drawn in a single unbroken brushstroke, has been cherished as a symbol of “connecting people” and “unbroken bonds of good fortune” since the Edo period. Placing this traditional art at the heart of the opening was a fitting way to mark the beginning of a new business chapter alongside Card Hobby.
Following the success of this first sales event, AI Avatar Inc. will be expanding its trading card business in earnest. Working closely with Card Hobby, we aim to bring the appeal of trading cards to a wide audience — from dedicated collectors to those experiencing them for the very first time.
