My Hero Academia’s Heroes and Villains Celebrate Summer for New Festival Themed Cafe

My Hero Academia’s most popular heroes and villains are donning their yukata for a new summer festival-themed collaboration cafe opening at four and GALLERY locations across Japan in September 2026.

The limited-time event combines character-inspired food and drinks with an extensive collection of merchandise featuring newly created mini character artwork, dressing the cast in yukata and incorporating fireworks and other seasonal imagery.

Based on Kohei Horikoshi’s manga, which has surpassed 100 million copies in worldwide circulation, My Hero Academia follows Izuku Midoriya and the students of U.A. High School as they train to become professional heroes in a world where superpowers known as Quirks have become commonplace.

Five themed dishes will be served during the collaboration, beginning with Midoriya’s Kushikatsu Plate for ¥1,500 (approx. $10 USD/ £8 GBP).

Bakugo, Kirishima and Kaminari inspire a spicy Summer Festival Plate priced at ¥1,600 (approx. $11 USD/ £8 GBP), while Uraraka and Tsuyu’s Starry Sky Jelly Punch will cost ¥1,200 (approx. $8 USD/ £6 GBP).

Todoroki and Iida feature together on a refreshing chilled somen dish topped with meat for ¥1,600 (approx. $11 USD/ £8 GBP), with the food selection completed by a Villains Waffle Berry Parfait for ¥1,200 (approx. $8 USD/ £6 GBP).

Eight character-inspired drinks will also be offered, with every option available by itself for ¥850 (approx. $6 USD/ £4 GBP) or with a souvenir drink charm for ¥1,500 (approx. $10 USD/ £8 GBP).

The selection includes Mineta’s Grape Float, a peach drink inspired by Yaoyorozu, Jiro and Ashido, and a mango tapioca drink based on Tokoyami and Hawks.

Pro Heroes are well represented through All Might’s Lemon Cola Float, Eraser Head’s Black Sesame Cafe Latte, Endeavor’s Watermelon Iced Tea, a Berry Butterfly Pea Tea inspired by Best Jeanist and Edgeshot, and Mirko’s Carrot Juice.

Ordering any drink with a souvenir charm includes one randomly selected fireworks-themed charm, with Group A containing 13 designs and Group B offering a further 10.

The exclusive merchandise continues the summer festival theme with the same newly created mini character illustrations appearing across five different types of collectibles.
