The exhibition event for the anime Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, titled “Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Exhibition DIVE INTO THE BO-BOBO WORLD,” will take place at Ikebukuro Sunshine City Exhibition Hall D in Tokyo from September 30, 2026, and at ATC ITM Building 4F Special Venue in Osaka from January 8, 2027. The main visual has now been unveiled, along with details on advance tickets and visitor presents.
A Legendary Absurd Battle Manga
Created by Sawai Hirohito, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2001 to 2007. It follows Bo-bobo, a master of the Nose Hair Fist who fights to protect humanity’s hair freedom against the Maruhage Empire and its Hair Hunters. The manga has sold over 7 million copies across its 28 volumes, and the anime adaptation aired from 2003 to 2005. The franchise celebrated its 20th manga anniversary in 2021 and its 20th anime anniversary in November 2023.
Main Visual Brings the Gang Together
The newly released main visual features a newly drawn illustration of Bo-bobo alongside his familiar allies: Beauty, Don Patch, Tokoro Tennosuke, and others, all striking wild poses. The earlier teaser visual had shown a colorful afterimage of Bo-bobo performing the Underarm Hair Fist “Sparkling.” The exhibition promises an immersive “Hajikeri List Training Program,” where visitors can pass through a nose gate, participate in quizzes, and enjoy photo spots that recreate the characters’ fierce battles. It’s a chance to assess your own “hajikeru” (crazy) level and take the first step to becoming a Hajikeri List member.
Advance Tickets and Exclusive Goods
Advance tickets went on sale June 7. A limited-quantity goods ticket (advance 4,800 yen, day 5,100 yen) includes a “Hajike! Assemble! Acrylic Panel” featuring the main visual, with a sparkling foil-stamped background. The panel is compact A5 size, perfect for display. Additionally, during each advance ticket sales period, buyers will receive one of three types of “Hajikeri List Training Program Commemorative Pencil.”
Visitor Presents: Hologram Cards
All attendees will receive a random “Visual Card” (91mm × 55mm) from nine possible hologram versions, each featuring a single character from the main visual. The cards also sparkle with holographic effects.
