Animation studio MAPPA has unveiled the official key visual for its anniversary exhibition "MAPPA EXPO 15th Anniversary." The exhibition will be held from September 16 to December 7, 2026, at the YURAKUCHO MUSEUM in Tokyo, divided into a first half (September 16–October 25) and a second half (October 28–December 7). The museum will be closed on October 26 and 27 for the changeover.
The key visual features a blue-eyed boy who also appears in the "MAPPA 15th Anniversary Movie" – a short film accompanied by the specially composed track "Seikatsu" by PEOPLE 1. The motif is intended to serve as a symbol for the studio's 15th anniversary.
In parallel, MAPPA released seven illustrations created specifically for the exhibition (Kakioroshi). These are distributed across three of the studio's most famous productions: two motifs come from the upcoming film "Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc," one from "Attack on Titan The Final Season," and four from the anime series "Jujutsu Kaisen." The illustrations capture the respective worlds and characters of the works and will also appear on exclusive merchandise items.
The first wave of exhibition merchandise includes clear files, acrylic keychains, and stickers designed with the three already known "MAPPA 15th Anniversary Key Visuals." Sales are exclusively on-site; a valid ticket is required for entry to the exhibition.
Advance ticket sales for the first half of the exhibition are already underway. Starting July 17, 2026, at 6:00 PM (local time), the second advance lottery will begin via Lawson Ticket. The exhibition is only accessible with a time-specific entry ticket (30-minute slots from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, last entry at 5:00 PM). Prices are 2,000 yen in advance for adults, with discounted tickets available for students and children. Additionally, limited goods set tickets are offered, which include an acrylic panel of one of the three main works.
MAPPA was founded in June 2011 and has made a name for itself with series such as "Jujutsu Kaisen," "Attack on Titan The Final Season," and "Chainsaw Man." The exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to experience the studio's creative work up close through original key animations, specially created artworks, and immersive installations. After the Tokyo exhibition ends, a tour to other Japanese cities is planned.
