Singer-songwriter Maki Otsuki, born in Japan’s Fukui Prefecture, debuted in 1999 with the song memories—the first ending theme of the popular One Piece anime series—and was inextricably linked to the series for fans by the time the second ending song RUN! RUN! RUN! followed. Her songs continue to accompany the adventures of Luffy & Co. to this day: in 2026, Maki Otsuki contributed the song Sekai wa Hitori ja Nakatta (Never Was Alone in This World) for the reunion of Robin and Sauro in episode 1163.

One Piece-Songs by Maki Otsuki (selection):

• memories (1999, ED, episode 1–30)
• RUN! RUN! RUN! (2000, ED, episode 31–63)
• Destiny (2016, Heart of Gold TV Special Theme Song)
• Dear sunrise (2024, ED, Eggheard Arc, 25th Anniversary Song)
• Never Was Alone in This World (2026, insert song, episode 1163)

Christian & China, two artists from Monheim, Germany, present their Original Art label with pins as well as socks, Ita bags, glasses cases, and backpacks that are something special. Their motifs are inspired by the fascinating world of animals as well as Japanese culture and mythology: the creative duo draws on traditional Japanese art forms and fables and combines them with modern elements to create unique designs that bring the mystical and the everyday together.

Artist alleys, where hobby artists and professional creatives influenced by anime, manga, and Japanese culture present their work in person, have become an integral part of the fan scene. We want to support this creativity with the AnimagiC Artist Alley. Whether you’re an illustrator, manga artist, or author, or a designer of otaku, lolita, steampunk, science fiction, or fantasy accessories: at the AnimagiC Artist Alley in the Variohalle, you can display and sell your work throughout the entire convention weekend. Visitors can look forward to direct interaction with new talents and established scene figures and can pick up unique artworks.

AnimagiC aims to promote self-developed ideas and original works through the AnimagiC Artist Market – fan works, parodies, and similar creations that are not entirely independent (keyword: generative AI) are therefore not permitted. The exhibited works must also be suitable for an audience aged 12 and over or be presented appropriately censored for viewing.

Applications for the Artist Alley 2027 are now open until December 31, 2026 via the following form. The selection process will run in parallel until the end of February 2027. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact us at any time via email with the subject line “Artist Alley” at info[at]animagic.de.

Message from Kyoto Animation:

AnimagiC2026にご来場の皆様、Guten Abend!

この度は、歴史あるアニメコンベンションAnimagiCのキャラクターを描き下ろすことができ、光栄に存じます。AnimagiCはアニメファンが多く集うイベントでもありますので、
アニメに登場するようなイメージでキャラクターを描きました。
また、装飾のモチーフとして用いた花はドイツの国花である「矢車菊（Kornblume）」と
日本の国花である「菊（Chrysantheme）」をイメージしています。
国花が同じキク科の花であることに親和性を感じ、ドイツの皆様と日本のアニメを
結ぶ縁の象徴になれば、という想いを込めました。
そして、キャラクターの差し出す手が、AnimagiCやアニメがつなぐ交流へと皆様を
案内することができれば幸いに思います。
楽しんでくださるファンの皆様がいてこそ、コンテンツは成長することができます。
一緒に大きな花を咲かせていきましょう。

English Translation

Good evening, everyone attending AnimagiC 2026!

It is a great honor for Kyoto Animation to have had the opportunity to create this year’s original character illustration for the long-established anime convention, AnimagiC.
Since AnimagiC is a gathering place for anime fans from all over, I designed the character with the feeling of someone who could step right out of an anime.
The flowers used as decorative motifs are inspired by the cornflower (Kornblume), Germany’s national flower, and the chrysanthemum, Japan’s national flower.
We are struck by the fact that both national flowers belong to the same daisy family, and I wanted them to symbolize the connection between the people of Germany and Japanese anime.

Now our AnimagiC character still needs a name, of course—and that’s where you come in!

Send us your name ideas for our AnimagiC character by October 31st, 2026!

We are raffling a 3-day ticket among all serious suggestions.

The wind orchestra of Musikverein Siershahn 1905 e.V. has been performing at AnimagiC since 2018 and has already played Anime in Concert six times with an alternating selection of instrumental anime song covers and anime soundtrack interpretations. In 2026, the concert titled VIDEOGAMES live in concert (see pictures) for the first time, featuring iconic Japanese game soundtracks and songs—including a Mario Kart live session with live scoring by the orchestra. Of course, an AnimagiC concert wouldn’t be complete without anime music: in 2026, a guest appearance by Japanese singer-songwriter Ai Higuchi with her Attack on Titan song Akuma no Ko earned a storm of applause. Since the Japanese gaming universe holds countless additional soundtrack and song highlights, there will be more VIDEOGAMES live in concert in 2027. Which songs, tracks, and surprises await you in the RELOADED version, you wonder? Stay tuned—more information to follow!

Read more about the wind orchestra from Siershahn on the official website musikverein-siershahn.de!

The exact times for the two concerts (Saturday & Sunday) will follow later!

Hironobu Kageyama launched his professional music career in 1977—at the age of 16—as a member of the band LAZY. Following the dissolution of LAZY, he embarked on an extraordinary solo career as a vocalist. To date, he has performed over 1,000 anisongs, including iconic, internationally beloved anime and tokusatsu anthems such as Saint Shinwa Soldier Dream (Saint Seiya, 1989) and CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA (Dragon Ball Z, 1989). He is also the leader of the anisong giants JAM PROJECT, formed in 2000.

In 2026, he contributed ZERO, the theme song for the major DLC for the video game Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO,—the release marks his first time singing a theme song for the Dragon Ball Z Sparking! series in about 18 years.

As an Anisong artist who writes lyrics, composes, arranges, and produces music, Hironobu Kageyama is also actively involved in various projects, providing songs for other J-pop acts and virtual artists.

The female vocal group Little Glee Monster celebrated their major debut in 2014 with Houkago High Five. In 2017, they performed their first solo concert at Budokan and appeared as a support act for Earth, Wind & Fire and Ariana Grande. In 2018, they successfully completed their first Asian tour and have been active not only in Japan but also internationally ever since. Their songs have been featured in numerous commercials and television shows. In July 2022, they held a casting call for new members, the M∞NSTER AUDITION. From 7,002 applicants, Mika, Yumi, and miyou were selected as new members, marking the start of their second chapter. The singers’ success continues unabated: in September 2026, their album BREATH will be released, and they’ll head out on the nationwide Little Glee Monster Live Tour 2026–2027 “BREATH”—with 16 shows in 15 Japanese cities.

Anisongs by Little Glee Monster (Selection):

• OVER (Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, 2017)
• Dakara, Hitori ja nai! (My Hero Academia Season 2, 2017)

Approximately 8,000 people live in Duadaso No. 2. The local Junior High School currently has only a provisional building made of a wooden frame and corrugated iron roof, while kindergarten children are taught in the headmaster’s office due to a lack of their own premises. Adequate toilets and a safe drinking water supply are also missing.

Around 285 students are expected to benefit from the new infrastructure. Both school buildings will be equipped with staff rooms, storage rooms, and school furniture. The new toilet facility includes separate areas for girls and boys, as well as a changing room for girls. The goal of the project, scheduled for approximately six months of construction, is to improve learning conditions and access to education, ensure the supply of clean water and adequate sanitation, and enable girls in particular to attend school regularly even during their menstruation.

You can find more information on the FLY & HELP homepage. However, we will, of course, keep you updated on the project’s progress here and report as soon as the Junior High School and the kindergarten are completed and opened.

Inclusion in AnimagiC Press Distribution List

• I consent to the inclusion of the above email address in the AnimagiC press distribution list.

You can revoke consent at any time - please send an email to presse@animagic.de.

Proof of Coverage *

• I confirm that coverage will be published in the above-mentioned publication before and/or after AnimagiC. After publication, a proof copy, link, or recording of the published material will be sent to AnimagiC (digital submissions welcome).

AnimagiC Press: Rules *

• I have read and understood the rules for press representatives and creators.

1) No entitlement to free press passes.

2) One press pass per publication.
AnimagiC does not provide passes for companions. Passes for additional editorial staff can only be provided for extensive (advance) coverage by high-reach media that justifies the deployment of multiple editorial representatives (e.g., camera crew for TV stations or similar). Beyond this, additional passes can be purchased in advance sales.

3) Entry only during opening hours:
Entry for press representatives is also only possible during visitor opening hours.

4) Seat reservations for press representatives are not possible in rooms and halls for logistical reasons. For safety reasons, rooms and halls reach maximum capacity when no seats are available. If all seats are taken, no further entry can be granted for that program item.

5) Photography, Film, and Audio Recording Rules:
We ask for your understanding that our guests of honor generally do not wish to be photographed, filmed, or otherwise recorded, and ask that you respect this.

Generally, for all program items and concerts – except for communicated exceptions and/or special arrangements due to company partnerships – photography, video recording, and livestreaming are prohibited. Only official AnimagiC photographers and the teams of the respective artists and involved companies are exempt. AnimagiC will provide photo material upon request after the event, as soon as and to the extent available.

6) Distribution of promotional materials or gifts, as well as raffle activities as part of on-site press activities at AnimagiC without the organizer's permission, is not permitted.

7) Filming permits for content creators/streamers (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, etc.) are only granted as part of company partnerships or accredited press coverage. It is not permitted to use the event as a backdrop for promotional videos for sponsors and companies not involved in the event. Content creators must submit their filming concept in advance.

8) Press accreditation for content creators:
Content creators can apply for press tickets if their channel
A) focuses on editorial coverage of anime, manga, Japanese music, games, language, and culture, and

B) depending on the platform – has reached the following minimum number of follows/subscribers: TikTok: 100,000; YouTube: 20,000; Instagram: 10,000.

AnimagiC reserves the right to accredit smaller channels for high-quality formats, special industry relevance (e.g., partnerships with AnimagiC exhibitors), or subject to accompanying advance coverage.

Due to necessary consideration for our international partners, a brand safety review is also conducted, with the following points being particularly decisive:
- Compliance with imprint requirements
- Content in accordance with applicable copyright and usage rights
- Content suitable for audiences aged 12 and up

9) Content creators commissioned by exhibitors or cooperation partners:
Brand safety requirements also apply to content creators that companies exhibiting at or partnering with AnimagiC wish to deploy on-site. After channel and concept review, companies can purchase discounted tickets for "their" content creators. The registration deadline is also May 31, 2027 (date received).
