Anime Expo 2024 is taking over the Los Angeles Convention Center July 4-7 for the largest North American anime convention. Pony Canyon will premiere Kinnikuman -Perfect Origin Arc- during their panel on July 6th. The panel will feature a global premiere screening of the newest arc of the series.

Additionally, fans will have the unique opportunity to meet Kinnikuman’s voice actor, Mamoru Miyano (Light Yagami in Death Note, Dazai in Bungo Stray Dogs), who will make a special appearance on the panel.
The Kinnikuman series is based on a manga series of the same name. Kinnikuman first aired in 1983. Now, Production I.G. (Kuroko’s Basketball and Haikyuu!!) brings the sequel to new and returning fans. Join Director Akira Sato and Producer Rui Kuroki during the Kinnikuman Anime Expo panel as they discuss behind-the-scenes details at the unique storytelling of this long-running series.

The panel will take place on Saturday, July 6th in Panel Room 403AB at 3:45 PM.

Fans of the iconic series won’t want to miss this unique opportunity to dive deep into the world of Kinnikuman. Find the booth in the Exhibit Hall, #2130.
Prince Kinnikuman came to Earth from Kinnikusei, a planet at the end of the universe. He was always ridiculed by humans as a useless Chojin (Superhuman). However, by chance, he was given the right to participate in the Chojin World Cup! This is a tournament to determine the world’s best Chojin. By a miracle, he won the championship. He even won it again the following year!
Since then, he has become a central figure among Seigi Chojin who protects the peace of the universe. Kinnikuman has managed to defeat the raging forces of the enemy with the power of friendship. This is thanks to the help of his friends, Terryman and Robin Mask.
In recognition of his achievements, Kinnikuman wins the “Survival Match for the Kinnikusei Throne,” the final test of his career. He becomes the 58th Great King of Kinnikusei! He returned to his home planet from Earth, got married, and said goodbye to eight years of fighting.
About a year and a half later, the entire universe was supposed to be at peace…
