It’s a blast from the past in the newly announced “Aisubeki Showa Heros” (“Beloved Showa Heroes”) collaboration campaign, a team-up that celebrates the 60th anniversary of 5 hero characters that made their TV anime debut back in the Sixties: Astro Boy, Eightman, Big X, Super Jetter, and Space Ace.

The campaign is a collaboration project between Tezuka Productions, Tatsunoko Production, TMS Entertainment, and Eiken, and the theme for the campaign is “nostalgic and new”. In addition to the new key visual (above), the first part of the campaign will be a special pop-up shop featuring character goods that will run from February 17 – March 02, 2023, at a venue on Tokyo Character Street in Tokyo.
