What this is
A live-action 2.5D stage adaptation of the beloved anime TIGER & BUNNY, bringing the superhero buddy-cop world of Sternbild City to the theatre with costumed performers, choreography, and production design faithful to the original series. The show tours two cities — Tokyo's Shibuya LOVEZ in late September 2026, followed by AiiA 2.5 Theater Kobe in early October. Advance ticket applications are already open, with full performance and casting details to be announced on the official website.
Who should go
Fans of the TIGER & BUNNY anime franchise are the clear audience here. 2.5D theatre regulars who enjoy seeing anime brought to life on stage will also find this worthwhile, but casual visitors with no familiarity with the source material will get little from it.
Good to know
Tickets for 2.5D stage productions in Japan are typically sold via eplus.jp or pia.jp through a lottery (advance application) system rather than first-come-first-served — both platforms accept foreign credit cards, and convenience store pickup at Lawson or FamilyMart is the most reliable collection method for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. Shibuya LOVEZ is a mid-sized theatre in the Shibuya area suited to intimate stage productions. AiiA 2.5 Theater Kobe is a dedicated 2.5D venue with a strong track record for anime stage adaptations and typically seats several hundred. Official merchandise is sold at the venue on performance days — queues open early and popular items sell out fast, so budget extra time before the show. Full cast and performance schedule details are still to be announced on the official website, so check back regularly.
