Animation studio MAPPA has released the third and final key visual for its 15th anniversary. Following the first two motifs featuring Reze from Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc (June 16) and Mikasa Ackerman from Attack on Titan: The Final Season (June 17), the new illustration now showcases Nobara Kugisaki from Jujutsu Kaisen.
The image, created specifically for the anniversary and titled "MAPPA 15th Anniversary Key Visual – Jujutsu Kaisen ver.," was produced under the direction of illustrator Hiromi Niwa. Digital coloring was handled by Junya Suzuki, color control by Eiko Matsushima, background design by Anri Maeda, and compositing work by Teppei Ito. Kugisaki is depicted walking through a tunnel in nighttime Shibuya – her gaze determined, her expression composed. The staging underscores her inner strength and unwavering belief in her own path, which she finds in the darkness of the big city.
The release of the motif comes just one day before the major "MAPPA 15th Anniversary Lineup Reveal," which will be broadcast live on the studio's official YouTube channel on June 19, 2026, at 8:00 PM JST. The navigators are Kenjiro Tsuda (known as the voice of Nanami in Jujutsu Kaisen) and Kotono Mitsuishi (narrator). During the approximately two-hour presentation, new information on ongoing productions as well as a completely new project will be announced. Additionally, the specially composed anniversary film "MAPPA 15th Anniversary Movie" with the song "Seikatsu" by the band PEOPLE 1 will premiere. Announced segments include, among others, Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan, Dorohedoro, Ranma 1/2, and Oblivion Battery. In August 2026, the special event "JujuFes" will also take place.
MAPPA was founded in 2011 and has made a name for itself with series such as Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan Final Season, Yuri!!! on Ice, and Vinland Saga. The fourth season of Jujutsu Kaisen ("Culling Game Arc Part 2") is already in production. The anniversary visual is now available on the official MAPPA website and on social media.
