Relive the Decade-Long Heroic Journey Through Art

The My Hero Academia Original Art Exhibition, celebrating ten years of Kohei Horikoshi’s iconic series, has opened its doors at CREATIVE MUSEUM TOKYO. Running from June 21 to August 31, 2025, the show features 564 total exhibits, including 19 brand-new illustrations drawn exclusively for the event.

The exhibition is divided into six themed zones, guiding visitors through the series' narrative evolution—from Deku’s humble beginnings to the climactic showdown with All For One and Tomura Shigaraki. Visitors can explore original manga manuscripts, storyboard sketches, color art, and production materials rarely seen outside the studio.
