Create a "One-of-a-Kind, Just for You" Customizable PC!

Gaming PCs are chosen for their specs—and while that's certainly important, there must also be people who want to "customize their look to their liking!" At the CANVY booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026, "customizable PCs" that seemed to fulfill such wishes were on display.

CANVY is a PC brand centered around its customizable PC case, "CANVY V1." Its key feature is the ability to change the PC's design by swapping out the front and side panels. The dedicated panels utilize a snap-fit mechanism for one-touch attachment and detachment without tools, allowing users to enjoy changing the look to match their mood or preference.

The brand also focuses on collaborations with characters and creators, allowing users to tailor a PC to their liking by combining not only panel designs but also case colors and RGB lighting. It's truly a system designed to achieve a "one-of-a-kind PC, just for you."

Metal Slug's 30th Anniversary and 'The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky'! The Presence of "Oshi PCs" is Incredible

What caught the eye at the booth was a desktop PC themed after 'Metal Slug,' which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2026. The series first appeared in arcades from SNK in 1996, gaining popularity for its intricate pixel animation and exhilarating action. This year, its 30th anniversary, various commemorative projects are also underway.

Another model that drew attention was adorned with Ren, a popular character from 'The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 2nd.' When a character is depicted across the entire large canvas of a PC case, its presence is outstanding, giving it the feel of a giant character collectible displayed on a desk, rather than just a computer.

The collaboration between CANVY and 'The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 2nd' has been officially announced, with gaming PCs featuring designs of Estelle, Joshua, and others, as well as customizable panels and mouse pads, planned for release. It seems possible to unify an entire gaming desk with your favorite series.

Another interesting aspect is that you can completely change the look by simply swapping panels, without needing to buy a new PC. For those who not only "want a high-performance PC" but also "want to keep their favorite games and characters always in sight," this booth must be quite appealing. When "oshi-katsu" (fandom activities) and gaming PCs merge so directly, the impact is quite powerful.
