Deku and Friends Tour Japan for My Hero Academia’s New Travel Themed Merch Collection
Deku, Bakugo, Uraraka and Todoroki are heading on a trip across Japan for a new My Hero Academia merchandise collection featuring the Class 1-A students in travel-inspired illustrations.
The new collection is being released as part of the ‘My Hero Academia Nationwide Local Support Fair’, which is being held at Animate stores across Japan and through the Animate Online Shop during August 2026.
All Might and Shota Aizawa join the students as chaperones in the newly drawn travel artwork, while a second collection of mini-character illustrations celebrates all 47 of Japan’s prefectures.
Based on Kohei Horikoshi’s manga, which has surpassed 100 million copies in worldwide circulation, My Hero Academia follows Izuku Midoriya and his classmates at U.A. High School as they train to become Pro Heroes in a society where superpowers known as Quirks are commonplace.
The new travel artwork will appear across a range of collectibles including acrylic stands, art cards, badges and other character merchandise available during the promotion.
Fans will also be able to collect original merchandise featuring the 47-prefecture mini-character illustrations, expanding the regional theme beyond the main artwork of Midoriya and his classmates.
A purchase bonus will be offered throughout the fair, with fans receiving one randomly selected pennant-style sticker from six possible designs for every ¥1,100 (approx. $7 USD/ £6 GBP) spent on eligible My Hero Academia anime character merchandise.
The same bonus will be available with qualifying purchases or reservations of audio and visual products when a deposit of at least ¥1,100 (approx. $7 USD/ £6 GBP) is made.
Eligible Gratte food and drink purchases, paid bonus items and reservations made with full payment will also qualify for the random pennant-style sticker.
The ‘My Hero Academia Nationwide Local Support Fair’ will run at participating Animate stores across Japan and through the Animate Online Shop from August 8 through August 30, 2026.
