The special exhibition “Baki Expo!!” (刃牙博ッッ!!) is set to open at the Ishinomori Manga Museum in Miyagi Prefecture from July 18, 2026, bringing a host of collaboration menu items and exclusive goods to fans in the Tohoku region for the first time.
About the Baki Series
Created by Itagaki Keisuke, the Baki series is a landmark martial arts manga that follows protagonist Hanma Baki and his father, the strongest creature on Earth, Hanma Yujiro. The story weaves together battles featuring karate, judo, boxing, professional wrestling, and Shaolin kung fu. As of May 2024, the series has surpassed 100 million copies in circulation worldwide, earning a devoted global fanbase.
Exhibition Concept and Features
Unlike the previous “30th Anniversary Exhibition: The Strongest on Earth Baki Exhibition!” held a few years ago, this new event is designed to let visitors enjoy the world of Baki from a fresh perspective. The exhibition will feature powerful original manuscripts, life-size statues, and numerous photo spots. After stops in Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Osaka, the Ishinomori Manga Museum becomes the fourth venue and the first in the Tohoku region.
Collaboration Menu at BLUE ZONE
The third-floor cafe “BLUE ZONE” will offer a special collaboration menu. Each order of a collaboration item comes with a limited sticker featuring Baki or Yujiro.
Hanma Yujiro no Matanari Napolitan – A napolitan pasta with sausages inspired by Yujiro’s signature split pose. The bone-in sausage makes for a wild eating experience.
Retsu Kaio no Fukkatsu Curry – A cutlet curry topped with a sauce reminiscent of Chinese-style fried chicken. Despite Retsu Kaio’s fierce expression, the dish is light and refreshing.
Shibukawa Gouki no Chibetai Chibetai Yakan Soda – A drink inspired by the scene where Shibukawa Gouki throws a kettle at Yanagi Ryuukou. The fun comes from adding carbonated powder to a glass and pouring water from the kettle yourself.
Hanma Baki no Densetsu no Hajimari Cake Plate – A cake plate that represents the ground dug up by Baki, using carved cake, chocolate crunch, and cocoa powder. A photo-worthy dessert.
Other striking drinks include Hanayama Kaoru no Otokokurabe Latte and Hanma Baki no Suppai Ume Lemonade. The Ogui Doppo no Bushin Vanilla is a playful sweet that represents Ogui Doppo from the ice cream to the cone.
Visitor Bonus
Guests who present a same-day admission ticket to the Ishinomori Manga Museum will receive a random card designed like a nostalgic martial arts match ticket.
Exclusive Goods
The venue will sell a variety of Baki Expo!! goods, including powerful character fine graphs, acrylic stands, and apparel such as T-shirts.
For every 3,000 yen (tax included) spent on Baki Expo!! goods, customers will receive one clear card (up to 10 per transaction). The cards feature the colorful cover illustrations from the Grappler Baki Complete Edition (10 types), sure to appeal to collectors.
