"Urusama 2024" is an annual summer event where visitors can enjoy high-energy live stages and extensive exhibits featuring the Ultra Heroes. From the new TV series "Ultraman Arc," which begins broadcasting and streaming worldwide on the TV Tokyo network from July 6, a replica set of the Monster Disaster Science Research Institute (known as "SKIP"), where the protagonist Yuma is affiliated, will be on display. Ultraman Arc will also appear at every live stage show, allowing attendees to immerse themselves in the world of the show from an early stage.
Additionally, Ultra Heroes from the currently airing "Ultraman New Generation Stars" and Ultraman Zero, celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, will gather for live performances and exhibits. The event will also feature a special seating area known as the "Ultraman Zero 15th Anniversary Supporter Seat," which includes exclusive merchandise in support of Ultraman Zero. Other event highlights include the "Ultraman Department" merchandising corner with the latest popular goods and the "Ultra Shot," a photo-op area with Ultra Heroes. The high-energy live stage will offer different stories in the early and later parts of the event period. Yuma Hisayoshi (played by Yuki Totsuka), the protagonist of "Ultraman Arc," will also make an appearance, bringing the excitement of the TV series directly to the stage.
