Tiger & Bunny Celebrates Its 15th Anniversary with a New Stage Play
Exciting news for Tiger & Bunny fans! A brand new stage play adaptation has been announced to celebrate the series' 15th anniversary. According to the official announcement, performances will begin in Tokyo in September 2026 and continue in Hyogo in October. This new production aims to honor the series' legacy and offer fans a chance to experience the world of the heroes in a live atmosphere.
Created by the Sunrise (now Bandai Namco Filmworks) studio in 2011, Tiger & Bunny quickly became a phenomenon with its unique take on the superhero genre. Focusing on heroes competing with sponsor logos on a reality show called "Hero TV," the series won hearts, especially with the dynamic relationship between Kotetsu T. Kaburagi (Wild Tiger) and Barnaby Brooks Jr. Brought to life with character designs by the famous mangaka Masayuki Katsura, this universe has lost none of its popularity over the years.
This is not the series' first step onto the theater stage; "TIGER & BUNNY THE LIVE," held in 2012, received great interest. This new production, prepared for the 15th anniversary, proves how vibrant the series still is following the second season released on Netflix in 2022. In Japan, anime-based stage plays have become a massive industry that allows fans to see their favorite characters in the flesh. How this new show will reflect the series' iconic action scenes and emotional depth is already a subject of great curiosity.
Although definitive information about the cast and ticket details has not yet been shared, more details are expected to be announced in the coming months. Fans are particularly impatient to see how Wild Tiger and Barnaby's high-tech costumes will be adapted for the stage. For viewers who have been part of this 15-year journey, this play will be a great opportunity to breathe in the atmosphere of Stern Bild city up close.
