Bocchi Gets Boxed In! PROOF’s 1/7 Scale Hitori Gotoh Captures the Shy Rockstar’s Stage Fright
It’s one of the most memorable—and painfully relatable—moments from Bocchi the Rock! Now, collectible figure company PROOF is turning that scene into a display-ready treasure with the announcement of their 1/7 scale Hitori Gotoh figure, featuring everyone’s favorite socially anxious guitarist hiding in a “Perfectly Ripe Mangoes” box. Priced at ¥16,500 (approximately $106 USD), the figure is set for release in December 2025.
As a longtime fan of music anime and awkward protagonists (especially those that hit a little too close to home), I couldn’t help but laugh the first time I saw Hitori—aka Bocchi—crouching in a cardboard box on stage. Now, PROOF has beautifully immortalized that anxiety-ridden moment in high-detail PVC.
About the Series: Bocchi the Rock!
Based on the manga by Aki Hamaji, Bocchi the Rock! follows the painfully introverted Hitori Gotoh, who dreams of rocking out on stage but struggles with even basic human interaction. After a fateful meeting with drummer Nijika Ijichi, she joins Kessoku Band, pushing herself to grow socially—one awkward encounter at a time. It’s a coming-of-age tale that’s as heartfelt as it is hilarious, and Bocchi’s journey hits a chord with anyone who’s ever been nervous in a crowd.
Figure Details and What Makes It Special
This 1/7 scale PVC figure stands approximately 16 cm tall (about 6.3 inches) and recreates the unforgettable scene from Episode 1 where Bocchi, paralyzed by stage fright, crawls into a cardboard box labeled “Perfectly Ripe Mangoes” to shield herself from attention.
The figure captures every detail—from the crumpled folds of her hoodie as she curls up in embarrassment, to the manga-accurate “困” (troubled) expression on her face. The box even includes the printed fruit label, and her pink twin-tails poke out perfectly, completing the comedic yet lovable image.
PROOF also includes a detailed STARRY-themed chessboard floor base, replicating the venue’s stage from the anime. While the box is slightly undersized compared to the original scene (likely for display balance), the overall sculpt perfectly captures the anxious tension and endearing humor that defines Bocchi’s character.
