Special Tour Visual from Manga Legend Go Nagai for Sandwiceman
Legendary manga artist Go Nagai has designed a special key visual for the 2026 live performance tour of beloved Japanese comedy duo Sandwiceman. According to news reports in Japan, this visual bearing Nagai's signature will be used as the official poster for the tour. The collaboration stands out as one of the rare intersections between the worlds of manga and comedy.
Go Nagai is known as the creator of cult works such as "Devilman", "Mazinger Z", and "Cutie Honey". Having shaped Japanese pop culture since the 1970s, Nagai has now contributed to the performing arts. Sandwiceman is a manzai (stand-up comedy) duo famous for winning the M-1 Grand Prix championship and their television programs. The duo's 2026 tour will focus entirely on live performances, unlike their previously broadcast shows.
Nagai's special visual came as a big surprise to Sandwiceman fans. The artist's unique drawing style reflects the duo's characteristic energy. In the visual, Sandwiceman members Mikio Date and Tomohiro Saito are reinterpreted with Nagai's famous 'devilish' lines. Such collaborations show how influential manga artists are in Japan, not only in comics but also in advertising, fashion, and entertainment industries.
In the past, Go Nagai has also designed for the "Kamen Rider" and "Super Sentai" series, and created album covers for various music groups. This new work once again proves his creativity across different fields. Details of the Sandwiceman Live Tour 2026 have not been fully announced yet, but ticket sales are expected to start in the coming months. Fans of Go Nagai and comedy enthusiasts are also eagerly awaiting the printed poster and digital versions of this unique visual.
