A new pop-up store for the beloved series City Hunter has been announced for Tokyo and Aichi prefecture. Titled “CITY HUNTER POP UP STORE -Midnight Rendezvous-,” the event will open at Hands Shibuya Store and Seibun Shoten Shintoyota Store on August 1, 2026, followed by a later opening at Futako Tamagawa Tsutaya Denki on August 7, 2026.
CITY HUNTER POP UP STORE -Midnight Rendezvous- Tokyo・Aichi
In 2025, the series celebrated its 40th anniversary, with total print circulation of the manga surpassing 50 million copies. The long-running popularity was further boosted by the 2024 Netflix live-action film City Hunter, which depicted the origin story of Ryo Saeba (played by Suzuki Ryohei) and Kaori Makimura (Morita Mochizuki) in modern-day Shinjuku. The story follows Ryo, a top-tier sweeper operating in Shinjuku’s underworld, whose love of beautiful women often gets him into trouble, but who is unmatched in skill and composure when handling a job.
This pop-up store is a recurring hit from the popular “Hakaba no Gyarari” (Graveyard Gallery) series. The theme this time is “Midnight Urban Life,” capturing the hustle and neon-lit nightclub atmosphere of 1980s Shinjuku—the setting of the original work—along with the dazzling lights of mirror balls and the exhilaration of urban music.

New original merchandise will be plentiful. In addition to urban-style items reminiscent of 80s fashion icons, past popular products have been refined into a chic, cool adult aesthetic. The lineup blends nostalgia with novelty, a hallmark of Hakaba no Gyarari.
Item List
Pre-order items “Bag Charm” and “Ryo Multi-Case” will finally go on sale, available at the store from the first day.
The 17 cm long bag charm can be attached to bags or belongings like a keychain, or worn as a bracelet. The pink gold chain gives it a cute, not-too-adult color scheme.
