Exciting news has emerged for fans of the hit anime series My Hero Academia. Toho has announced the upcoming concert tour, which will bring the show’s captivating score to life in a thrilling live performance. The tour, titled My Hero Academia In Concert, will kick off on May 30, 2026, at the Pacifico Yokohama National Convention Hall in Japan before expanding to international venues.

Floris Douwes, producer and managing director at GEA Live, emphasized the importance of Hayashi’s music, stating, “This concert gives fans a powerful new way to experience the story they love. Hayashi’s score is the emotional heartbeat of My Hero Academia. Performed live, every note heightens the stakes — the victories, the losses, and the resolve that defines what it means to be a hero.” This concert is set to honor the series’ legacy and its passionate fanbase.
A decade of heroism
Since its debut in April, My Hero Academia has captured the hearts of millions worldwide. Based on the manga by Kohei Horikoshi, the story unfolds in a world where approximately 80% of individuals possess extraordinary powers known as Quirks. The narrative follows the journey of Izuku Midoriya and his classmates at U.A. High School as they strive to become professional heroes. After a decade-long run, the anime concluded its eighth season in, leaving fans eager for more.
Marking the 10th anniversary with special events
In addition to the concert tour, Toho has announced a special episode titled More, set to premiere on May 2, 2026. This episode is based on the manga’s 431st chapter and takes place eight years after the graduation of Midoriya and his friends. It offers fans a chance to dive back into the world they cherish, expanding on the original storyline.
Toho’s celebration of the anime’s 10th anniversary also includes a visually stunning commemorative piece revealed at the Jump Festa. This artwork, created by Bones Films and illustrated by character designer Yoshihiko Umakoshi, showcases ten different versions of Deku, reflecting his evolution as a hero throughout the series.
