Heibon Punch (平凡パンチ, Heibon Panchi) was a weekly Japanese men's magazine published by Heibon Shuppan (currently known as Magazine House). It was first published on 28 April 1964, and continued until 1988.
The magazine featured articles on lifestyle, fashion, sports, political issues, and sex,[1] rivaling with Weekly Playboy, launched two years later. Heibon Punch was influential in promoting American fashion trends, such as the Ivy look, to Japanese male youth in post-World War II Japan.[2][3]
