King Jim Hitotoki Note Apple Notebook
The King Jim Hitotoki Note Apple Notebook is a ring notebook designed to be used like a planner, but without pressure or fixed dates. Its grid pages with blank date fields allow you to write only when you feel like it, at your own pace. Flexible and visually engaging, it is ideal for free planning, journaling or light scrapbooking, featuring a cheerful cover design by Japanese illustrator Shogo Sekine.
Concept and design
The HITOTOKI line by KING JIM is created to support everyday life with tools that are practical, well designed and easy to adapt to each user. The “Apple” cover, decorated with colorful apples, conveys a fresh and optimistic mood. Both sizes include a store-exclusive extra: a date sticker sheet that allows you to personalize how and when you use the notebook.
Comic size
The Comic size is ideal for those who want a daily-use notebook similar to a planner, but more open and expressive. It features grid pages with 3.5 mm spacing and blank dates, along with transparent pockets for storing small items such as KITTA strips, COFFRET, stickers or cards. It also includes a PET sheet with dots and a ruler, which works as a writing guide, bookmark or support sheet, and an elastic band to keep the notebook closed. The ring binding is designed for flat-open writing, making it comfortable to use across the entire page.

- Pages: 128
- Paper layout: grid, 3.5 mm

Passport size
The Passport size is more compact and lightweight, perfect for carrying in a bag or backpack every day. It follows the same concept of a date-free planner, with fine grid pages at 3.15 mm spacing and blank date areas. Transparent pockets allow you to store washi tape, tickets or stickers, while the elastic band keeps everything secure on the go. Like the Comic size, the ring binding allows the notebook to open flat for smooth, uninterrupted writing.
