Kabukicho Street Cypher Grand Championship

Event Overview:
Scheduled for March 20, 2026, the Kabukicho Street Cypher Grand Championship aims to celebrate the vibrant street dance culture in Japan. This event will take place at the historic Zepp Shinjuku venue in Tokyo, featuring exciting dance battles and showcases from renowned talents in the industry. Combined efforts from TST Entertainment, the Kabukicho Town Management Association, and others aim to provide a solid platform for dancers of all backgrounds and skill levels.

This grand championship stems from numerous dance events held from June 2025 to February 2026, where 14 top performers from the 1-on-1 and 2-on-2 formats will compete for the title of Grand Champion. Not only will there be preliminary battles at the Kabukicho Cine City Square, but the event also highlights showcase performances from special guests like RAG POUND, CyberAgent Legit, and KOSÉ 8 ROCKS.

What is a Cypher?
The term “cypher” refers to an improvisational circle dance session where dancers take turns showcasing their skills, fostering creative expression and connection between performers and spectators alike. This concept lies at the heart of street dance culture, prompting vibrant engagement from the audience.
