Celebrating 45 Years of `COBRA`
The highly anticipated “『COBRA』連載開始45周年記念展～Memory of 寺沢武一～POP UP STORE in 渋谷” will be held from September 17 to October 10, 2025, at the Hands Shibuya Store in Tokyo. This special event is a heartfelt tribute to `COBRA`, the iconic manga by Terasawa Buichi, celebrating its 45th anniversary since serialization began.
This POP UP STORE offers a unique opportunity to revisit the enduring charm of `COBRA`, a manga that continues to shine brightly through the ages. It’s also a poignant dedication titled “Memory of Terasawa Buichi,” honoring the late manga artist Terasawa Buichi, who sadly passed away in September 2023.
The Enduring Legacy of `COBRA`
`COBRA` is celebrated as the debut masterpiece that propelled manga artist Terasawa Buichi to fame. It follows the thrilling adventures of Cobra, the universe’s most wanted bounty hunter, as he soars through space in his beloved spaceship, the Turtle, alongside his beautiful companion Armaroid Lady, and wielding his signature Psycho-gun concealed in his left arm.
As a true cornerstone of science fiction action manga, `COBRA` transcends time. Its appeal lies not only in its captivating characters like the protagonist Cobra, his stunning companion Lady, and his formidable rival Crystal Boy, but also in its memorable lines and breathtaking action sequences. Even after 45 years, the manga delivers fresh excitement that resonates across generations and borders, continuing to expand its global reach.
First Look: New & Exclusive Merchandise!
Visitors to the venue will be thrilled by the range of new merchandise available for pre-sale. Among them is the definitive Cobra T-shirt, the “Space Pirate T-shirt,” emblazoned with the English phrase, “Ore no na wa Cobra, hidariude ni Psycho-gun o motsu fujimi no eiyu sa” (My name is Cobra, an immortal hero with a Psycho-gun in my left arm).
The “LADY T-shirt” boasts an 80’s vibe, featuring a design that makes Lady appear to float from the fabric. For everyday use, the “Tote Bag” showcases Cobra and Lady’s images, combining style with practicality. And for dedicated fans, the “Logo Mesh Cap,” with the title logo starkly contrasted against a black background, is an absolute must-have for daily wear.
Adorn your space with the “Acrylic Panel,” which beautifully features an exquisite illustration of Cobra and Armaroid Lady. The “Acrylic Stands (2 types)” allow you to bring iconic scenes right to your tabletop. For a playful touch, the “Art Board Invader” poses the question, “Space Pirate VS Invader!?” And for those who love epic moments, the “Art Board Six Valiants” vividly portrays the six heroes empowered by the god of light from the “Six Valiants” arc.
Art Board Six Valiants / 3,740 yen (tax included)
