Trading card company KAYOU has announced its San Diego Comic-Con debut with a booth on the show floor, fan meet-ups, trade events, and a “Walls of Fandom” installation in the Interactive Zone at Petco Park.
SDCC ’26 attendees can shop the KAYOU Collection at the Shumi Company (booth #4934), featuring My Little Pony, Naruto, KPop Demon Hunters, and tokidoki. At the Petco Park, attendees can walk through “Walls of Fandom,” which features “larger-than-life installations, themed wall displays, and product showcases” of the above-mentioned properties. There will be plenty of photo opps, but fans can also explore the components of KAYOU cards, from the illustration to the foiling and design. Cards can be purchased onsite, allowing fans to build on their excitement in the moment.
Additionally, KAYOU will host fan meetups and trading events at Tito Rick’s Garage (2918 Imperial Ave), where attendees can gather to meet, socialize, and trade cards. There will also be demos of the My Little Pony Trading Card Game (TCG) and attendees can learn how to play.
Pick up a SDCC-exclusive KAYOU Superfan Passport at any of the three locations above to collect passport stamps and earn rewards. Available while supplies last.
