Japanese real estate company SUUMO and Monster Hunter will feature in an unlikely collaboration starting on February 5. Featuring SUUMOās fluffy green alien mascot helping various monsters from Capcomās series to find their dream home, the advertisements will appear in major train stations in Tokyo and Osaka starting on February 5 (source: Famitsu).Ā
SUUMO is a real estate company that operates the largest property listing site in Japan. The site allows you to narrow down your search by selecting not only the location and train line but also by ticking various checkboxes related to what you are looking for in an apartment or house. This seems to be the feature that SUUMO wishes to highlight in its new ad campaign.
The advertisements feature various monsters from the Monster Hunter universe, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Itās unclear whether they are looking to buy or to let, but they certainly have some very specific requirements.

Letās start with Rajang. The thunder-elemental beast that was introduced in Monster Hunter 2 has managed to find its ideal residence by choosing the following search terms- ātopmost floor,ā āautolock,ā āmusical instruments allowedā and āsoundproof room.ā Given Rajangās tendencies to be very violent and loud, the apartmentās security features and soundproofing are probably for the benefit of other residents.Ā

On the other hand, a cute and friendly cat-like Felyne seems to have found an idyllic location. The property is of course āpets allowed.ā It is also āsouth-facing,ā which should suit Felyneās farming tendencies.Ā It has a āreheating bathā and āunder floor storageā as well as a ābuilding manager,ā as everyone knows that pet cats need slaves, I mean owners.Ā

Next, we have a hungry-looking Khezu. We hope it is happy with its ācorner room,ā which is also āsoundproofā and ābarrier-free,ā and in a ādesigner buildingā no less. To be on the safe side, fluffy green Suumo is making a hasty retreat.Ā

The Suumo mascot seems more confident in showing Rathalos its new digs. The ābalcony included,ā āsecurity cameraā and āheated floorsā should suit this fire wyvern. Itās also āavailable for immediate move-in” and āDIY allowedā so maybe Rathalos can do some decorating with its talons?
Monster Hunter Rise is available now on PS4/PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One/Series S|X and PC.Ā Monster Hunter Wilds is scheduled to be released sometime in 2025.
