Tezuka Osamu vs Capcom Museum Exhibit Returns With New Art

The Tokyo Toshima Tokiwaso Manga Museum and Tokiwaso-dori Showa Retro Museum will host the Capcom vs Osamu Tezuka Characters: Tezuka Cap Fighting Universe 2 exhibition starting on July 20, 2024, and it will end on November 24, 2024.

This exhibition is a reconstruction of the 2023 event held at the Osamu Tezuka Memorial Museum in Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture. It features a comprehensive timeline of Capcom’s fighting games history, from Street Fighter to Street Fighter 6, alongside original drawings and materials from games like Vampire Hunter and Rival Schools: United by Fate.

New highlights of this exhibit include characters from Tezuka’s works drawn by Capcom creators and Capcom characters illustrated by Tezuka Productions artists. The exhibit also showcases newly drawn main visuals and an array of new merchandise. The exhibition will be updated twice during its run time.

Attendees will receive one of ten types of can badges at random, and visitors to both the Toshima Manga Museum and the Showa Retro Museum on Tokiwaso-dori will receive a special holographic sticker. There are three different sticker designs available for each exhibition period.

This comes after past showcases and collaborations between Capcom and the mangaka’s art. A crossover art book also appeared in Japan in the past.

Capcom Osamu Tezuka Characters -Tezuka Cap Fighting Universe 2- will be available at the Toshima Manga Museum and Tokiwaso-dori Showa Retro Museum in Tokyo starting on July 20, 2024.
