McDonald’s Japan Launches New My Hero Academia and Spy x Family UNO Happy Meals
An upcoming collaboration has been announced bringing two massive hit anime franchises to the McDonald’s Japan Happy Meal menu.
The “Play UNO Together” Happy Meals feature exclusive card games inspired by the beloved characters of SPY x FAMILY and My Hero Academia.
SPY x FAMILY is a heartwarming and action-packed comedy series created by Tatsuya Endo.
The story follows a makeshift family composed of a master spy, a deadly assassin, and a telepathic child who are all hiding their true identities from one another.
Their hilarious attempts to maintain a normal family life while secretly managing world-saving missions have captured the hearts of fans around the globe.
My Hero Academia is a globally celebrated superhero manga and anime series created by Kohei Horikoshi.
The narrative centers on Izuku Midoriya, a boy born without superpowers in a world where almost everyone possesses a unique ability.
His journey to become the world’s greatest hero alongside his classmates at U.A. High School has made the franchise a staple of modern pop culture.
UNO is the classic shedding-type card game developed by Mattel that has been a family favorite for decades.
Players race to empty their hands by matching colors and numbers while utilizing special action cards to outsmart their opponents.
Let’s take a look at the featured games that will appear in McDonald’s Japan Happy Meals!

This deck features a variety of rich illustrations showcasing the Forger family.

- My Hero Academia UNO

The official McDonald’s X account posted a teaser image on Thursday, February 19, 2026, hinting at the crossover.
