A limited number of 1,000 cards will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, with 500 cards available per day. For those unable to secure a card on-site, a glittering special edition BIG Bikkuriman card will be raffled off to 500 lucky winners selected from attendees.

A Nostalgic Experience

This exhibition is themed "Rekindling the Frenzy of Those Days!" and aims to reignite the joy and excitement of the original Bikkuriman series. With three locations in Western Japan showcasing devil head characters and three in Eastern Japan displaying angel head characters, this is a nationwide initiative like no other.

MUSASHI, a contemporary artist with a unique style, will present a series of reimagined Bikkuriman characters that resonate with fans old and new. His artwork blends traditional techniques with modern sensibilities, promising to provide an enlightening experience for visitors.

Insight from MUSASHI

MUSASHI, renowned in the modern art scene, expressed his desire to convey peace and harmony through the round shape of the new Bikkuriman cards. These cards symbolize resolving issues smoothly and encapsulate the hopeful spirit of the event. The artist is excited to present the newly crafted Hiroshima-exclusive head character during the exhibit, and he aims to inspire connections and smiles among attendees.

“Though I didn't personally experience the frenzy of Bikkuriman in its heyday, I sought to reinterpret that excitement through my art. I hope that the harmony represented by the round cards will allow individuals from different generations to find joy in the exhibition together.”

Future Tour and Upcoming Locations

After the initial exhibition in Hiroshima, the event will travel to six locations, including various cities in the Kansai and Kyushu regions, and conclude in the Tohoku area in March 2026. Each stop will feature unique character designs, captivating collectors and fans alike.

2025 marks a significant milestone, being the 40th anniversary of the iconic "Devil vs. Angel Series" which laid the foundation for Bikkuriman's success in 1985 with its engaging stories and captivating designs.
