Seven Heroes, Two Slots on the Plate

The menu's centerpiece is a box pizza that doubles as a character selector. Guests pick any two of seven flavors for ¥2,090, and each one is keyed to a different hero. Izuku Midoriya's is basil cream and arugula, with spring roll wrappers folded into the ears on his hood and a cheese snack standing in for his cape. Katsuki Bakugo's is a spicy meatball curry on a crisp thin crust, served with mashed potato gauntlets. Shoto Todoroki's splits the plate down the middle, gorgonzola on one side and pepperoni on the other, one for each half of his Quirk.

All Might's margherita carries the sharpest gimmick. A half portion prints his True Form on the plate. Order the whole pie and you get Muscle Form instead. Endeavor's is bacon and chili tomato for Hellflame, Hawks' is teriyaki mayo chicken, and Ochaco Uraraka's is a dessert pizza of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream under a pink sauce, scattered with marshmallows arranged to look like they are floating.

Donuts are ¥990 and all three are modeled on childhood versions of the characters: strawberry sauce over soft gyuhi mochi for Midoriya, popping candy for Bakugo, and salt ice cream with cassis sorbet for Todoroki. Side food is ¥790, covering Uraraka's sour cream fries and Hawks' buffalo wings, the wings plated with red chili chips and tuile cookies as scattered feathers.

The seven character drinks are ¥990 each. Bakugo's orange soda hides black lemon jelly for his costume, Uraraka's peach soda gets cotton candy for zero gravity, Todoroki's ramune white soda is a gradient topped with berries, and All Might's is butterfly pea tea with mango. Standard coffee, tea, cola, ginger ale and orange juice run ¥690, but they do not satisfy the one-order minimum and do not come with the drink bonus.

Four Cities, Four Different End Dates

Three of the venues are branches of BOX cafe&space, the collaboration-cafe chain that LTR runs. The fourth is Cafe Interlude inside the Coach and Four Shinkawa-dori store in Sapporo.

  • Tokyo, Harajuku: BOX cafe&space Q Plaza Harajuku, October 16 to December 20, 2026
  • Nagoya: BOX cafe&space Global Gate Nagoya, October 16 to November 29, 2026
  • Sapporo: Cafe Interlude, Coach and Four Shinkawa-dori, October 16 to November 29, 2026
  • Osaka, Umeda: BOX cafe&space HEP FIVE, October 22 to December 6, 2026

Advance booking opens October 1, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. JST through the official cafe site and costs ¥715 per person including tax. Book ahead, order anything off the menu, and you get a hologram sticker. Each eligible drink comes with one of seven coasters. Buying at least one piece of merchandise in store gets you a random hero card from a set of seven, while stock lasts. Online orders do not qualify.

The merchandise line uses newly drawn art across the same seven characters: can badges at ¥605, mini character keychains and acrylic keychains at ¥770, mini acrylic stands and sticker sets at ¥990, a two-piece clear file set at ¥880, and drawstring pouches at ¥1,540. The cafe's own online shop carries them from October 16 at noon through December 20.

The Final Season Is Still Taking Its Victory Lap

The concept, per the PR TIMES release from operator LTR, casts Midoriya and everyone who loves heroes as "HERO HOLICS," which is where the subtitle comes from.

A refresher on the premise: the series is set in a world where roughly 80 percent of the population has a superpower called a Quirk, and hero is a licensed profession. Quirkless middle schooler Izuku Midoriya meets his idol, the No. 1 hero All Might, inherits the Quirk One For All from him, and enrolls at the elite hero school U.A. High. That is why the menu makes room for pro heroes like Endeavor and Hawks alongside the Class 1-A kids.

Kohei Horikoshi's manga ran for ten years in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump and has passed 100 million copies in circulation worldwide. Bones turned it into eight TV seasons between April 2016 and the Final Season in 2025, plus four theatrical films.

The cafe also arrives off a strong awards run. In May 2026, the Final Season took four Crunchyroll Anime Awards, including Anime of the Year, Best Ending Sequence and Best Supporting Character.

LTR, a subsidiary of CL Holdings, has kept a steady rotation of anime tie-in cafes going this year. Recent entries from the same operator include a Chainsaw Man coffee shop modeled on Reze's part-time workplace and a Blue Lock cafe focused on the anime's first season.

Looking Ahead

Reservations go live October 1 at 6:00 p.m. JST on the cafe site. The release does not say whether walk-in seating will be available at any of the four venues.

All four locations are in Japan, and no international pop-up has been announced. Fans elsewhere can at least watch the series the menu is riffing on: Crunchyroll streams My Hero Academia including the Final Season across North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS, the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.

The manga is complete in English from Viz Media, which released the 42nd and final volume in the US in October 2025. Viz also carries the full run digitally through its Shonen Jump service.
