[2026] Bold’s historical commercials: spotlight on the funny series of ads

Bold, a laundry detergent with fabric softener, is very popular.

It used to be well-known for the series featuring Yamada Cameron, a neighborly character.

More recently, the “Laundry Daimyo” series starring Fuma Kikuchi has been drawing attention.

All the commercials are humorous and fun to watch, and many people have probably been curious after seeing them on TV.

In this article, we’ll introduce all the Bold commercials that have aired so far.

Be sure to look out not only for Fuma Kikuchi, but also for the overseas actresses who have repeatedly played Yamada Cameron over the years.

This is a commercial where Fuma Kikuchi, as the “Laundry Daimyo,” conveys the appeal packed into Bold.
