Ten Years of Plus Ultra Under One Roof
Officially titled "My Hero Academia TV Anime 10th Anniversary Exhibition OUR HERO," the exhibition traces the anime's full decade, from the first season's April 2016 premiere to last December's series finale. According to the PR TIMES announcement, that decade adds up to 170 TV episodes plus the special No.170+1 episode "More," four theatrical films, and seven original anime episodes. The exhibition plans to cover all of it through key visuals, original key animation, 3D displays, and video installations.
The event has its own newly drawn key visual, and the character lineup keeps expanding. Deku, Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, and All Might were revealed first; Ochaco Uraraka, Tenya Iida, Eijiro Kirishima, and Tsuyu Asui have now joined them, with more characters set to be added.
The exhibition's flagship project is a brand-new life-size figure, currently in production. The organizers have released a first look at the workshop process, and progress updates will continue on the exhibition's official X account and website. No word yet on which character is getting the life-size treatment.
Tickets, Lottery Dates, and Visitor Bonuses
The Tokyo run goes January 8 to February 7, 2027 at Tokyo Tatemono Pia Conference, an event space inside the TOFROM YAESU TOWER in the Yaesu district, open every day of the run. The Osaka leg follows March 5 to 28, 2027 at ATC Gallery in the city's Nanko waterfront district.
Tickets cost 2,500 yen for adults, 1,500 yen for middle and high school students, and 1,000 yen for elementary schoolers, tax included. A 4,500 yen version bundles in a "blister-style acrylic panel," an acrylic print of the exhibition key visual packed in playful, toy-style blister packaging. Every visitor also gets a lenticular card of the same key visual, the kind whose image shifts with the viewing angle. Detailed designs and specs for both items will be published later.
The first Tokyo ticket lottery opens July 10, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. JST and accepts applications through July 26, with results announced from July 31. Entries go through the exhibition's official site.
One Part of a Packed Anniversary Year
My Hero Academia wrapped its TV run in December 2025, when FINAL SEASON, the eighth season overall, aired its last episode. Kohei Horikoshi's original manga ran for ten years in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump and has topped 100 million copies in circulation worldwide. It follows Izuku "Deku" Midoriya as he trains at the hero school U.A. High, in a world where roughly 80 percent of people are born with superpowers called Quirks. Daiki Yamashita voiced Deku across the entire series, with Nobuhiko Okamoto as Bakugo, Yuki Kaji as Todoroki, and Kenta Miyake as All Might.
OUR HERO is one program in the larger "My Hero Academia The Animation 10th Anniversary" project running through 2026. The special episode No.170+1 "More" aired May 2, 2026, the special short "I am a hero too" begins streaming on major platforms August 3, and Ani-Rock Fes 2026 hosts the "PLUS ULTRA LIVE" concert on November 22 and 23. The My Hero Academia in Concert series, which performs the anime's score, is booked for dates both inside and outside Japan, the anime's first three seasons are being rolled out free on YouTube, and new anniversary merchandise arrives every month. The anniversary's special video, "PLUS ULTRA MOVIE," is already streaming on YouTube.
Looking Ahead
The date to circle first is July 10, 2026, when the Tokyo ticket lottery opens; applications close July 26 at 11:59 p.m. JST. Between now and the January opening, expect more key visual characters, updates on the life-size figure, and final designs for the lenticular card and acrylic panel bundle. The organizers say further anniversary plans are still to be announced.
No international tour for the exhibition has been announced so far, though the anniversary's concert series does include overseas dates. International fans have plenty of catch-up options in the meantime: the anime streams on Crunchyroll, and Viz Media publishes the manga in English, with the Japanese edition complete at 42 volumes.
