ULTRAMAN EXHIBITION – 60 Years of the Ultraman Series

 

 

A centerpiece of Operation Ultra Yokohama, ULTRAMAN EXHIBITION is being held at Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse from Saturday, September 5 through Sunday, September 27, 2026. Following acclaimed runs in Osaka and Fukuoka, Yokohama is the exhibition’s third venue and its first in the Kanto area.

 

A 60-Year Journey of Light

 

Ultraman first appeared on television on July 10, 1966. Since then, the Ultraman Series has continued to move with the times, touching hearts and sharing courage, hope and kindness. On July 10, 2026, the series celebrated the 60th anniversary of its television debut.

 

The exhibition presents the journey of more than 50 Ultraman Series productions, Ultra Heroes and Ultra Kaiju. Alongside the history of the productions and memorable episodes, visitors will encounter newly conceived dioramas, a 60th anniversary photo spot, immersive three-dimensional visuals that invite them into the worlds of the series, and much more. Experience the journey of the Light that has walked alongside you.

 

Nine Exhibition Zones

 

ZONE 1: Ultra Q – The Eve of a Hero’s Birth

Everything began with this production. The world of Ultra Q, the first title in the series, is recreated in a monochrome space. Before the birth of the hero, the exhibition begins with stories centered on kaiju.

 

 

ZONE 2: The Journey of the Ultraman Series I – The Classic Ultraman Series

Tsuburaya Productions’ first color production, Ultraman expanded the world established by Ultra Q by introducing Ultraman and the SSSP. This zone presents eight television series from Ultraman through Ultraman 80, together with three international productions.

ZONE 8: Confronting the Darkness – Ultra Heroes Stand Up Again and Again
