TOHO will also launch the upcoming “My Hero Academia in Concert” world tour in 2026 — a live music experience featuring the music of composer Yuki Hayashi. The concert will pair Hayashi’s music with pivotal scenes from the anime series. The tour will start on May 30, 2026, at Pacifico Yokohama, before expanding to international venues. Future dates, ticket details, and global tour stops will be announced soon, with more information and updates available on the tour’s official website.
More projects, collaborations, events, and announcements will be announced later on in 2026.
TOHO Animation also posted a “Final Season Special Video” for the show’s eighth season that includes English subtitles.
The first TV anime season of My Hero Academia debuted in 2016, while the eighth and final season was released in October 2025, before ending this month. The series also inspired four anime films, including 2024’s My Hero Academia The Movie: You’re Next. Crunchyroll is streaming the anime series and films in select countries and territories worldwide.
The original manga series by Kohei Horikoshi was serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from July 7, 2014 to August 5, 2024. Forty-two total tankobon volumes were published in Japan. A spinoff titled My Hero Academia: Vigilantes was published from 2016 to 2022 and received its own TV anime adaptation, which will have its second season premiere on January 5, 2026.
VIZ Media licensed the My Hero Academia manga for English release, describing the main premise as:
Middle school student Izuku Midoriya wants to be a hero more than anything, but he hasn’t got an ounce of power in him. With no chance of ever getting into the prestigious U.A. High School for budding heroes, his life is looking more and more like a dead end. Then an encounter with All Might, the greatest hero of them all, gives him a chance to change his destiny.
