Kirin Beverage is running a Dragon Ball campaign from April 25 to June 8 that lets fans create their own Dragon Ball characters and enter to win 3D figures of said characters.
After designing their original characters, fans can increase their power levels by inputting the codes attached to bottles of Kirin Mets Grapefruit. The characters with the highest power levels are printed on the campaign website.
Fans can also collect barcodes from specific Kirin products to enter a lottery for prizes. Participants who collect 14 barcodes can enter to win a 3D figure of their original Dragon Ball Z character. Those who collect seven can win an inflatable sofa with a Flying Nimbus print bag. The lottery will be held on June 8. 50 people will win 3D figures and 1,000 will win inflatable sofas. Complete details can be found on the campaign website.

I created my DB character and I named her Zella.
It seems you can also powerup your character by fighting other avatars but I haven't figured out how to get the Fighter ID number o.o (How I wish I knew Japanese)
The profile the site gave me:
Earthling / Woman
Scorpion breaking rock
Zera (I used Zella for the name but they romanized it to Zera)
My fighter ID: 6PQGRY

I made one, too, but I don't think I'll be drinking heavily enough throughout the contest to get my figure printed and sent all the way to the US.

I just battled Owen Wilza and powered up to level 4. Looks like the avatar pose changes each time you get to a new level.

On your avatar's profile page (don't forget to bookmark it) there's a purple button next to the green Mets button. Press the purple button and it will take you to a page where you input your opponent's battle ID and you battle. Your power level rises up for each battle.
It seems you can have 5 battles per day according to a pop up that appeared. I used google translate and it said:
"Up of combat power of the day
Maximum limit reached
It exceeds either challenge number 5 times or challenge acceptance number 5 times.
※ The time limit reset time is 0 o'clock"

FYI, having poked around a little, the 3D-printed figures are of "yourself, in Dragon Ball style," rather than your OC.
So I wont be getting that Owen Wilza figurine. Very disappointing. Apparently we're all missing out on the big power-ups that come with the Mets bottle codes as well.

This seemed too fun not to try. Cranked this out in about 2 minutes, hope I don't regret it later:
Retired.

Didnt bother making a actual character since I know I have 0 chance of winning, so I just made myself as close as I could with the program.

37ZF30 is my code...it's basically what I look like as a DB character.

"My opinion of Norihito's Sumitomo's new score is... well, very mixed. The stuff that's good is pretty darn good, but the stuff that's bad makes elevator music sound like Jerry freaking Goldsmith." -Kenisu
