Ultraman remains one of Japan’s definitive tokusatsu heroes, with countless entries in the franchise still enjoying massive popularity today. Alongside a steady stream of new productions, the series is now celebrating its 60th anniversary with a growing lineup of special events and releases.
To mark 60 years of Ultraman, the official anniversary collection includes T-shirts featuring original artwork by manga artist Mamoru Uchiyama, plus collaborative bags created with popular label Manhattan Portage. The project was launched by Shogakukan’s business and trends publication DIME, with preorders now open through the Shogakukan Department Store.
The collaboration grew out of the Ultraman feature in DIME’s December 2026 issue. Built around the franchise’s 60th-anniversary message, with U, the collection brings Ultraman into everyday life with merchandise designed for fans of all ages.
Manhattan Portage was tapped to create two exclusive anniversary bags, each featuring a design made especially for Ultraman’s big six-zero.
▼ ULTRAMAN SERIES 60th × Manhattan Portage Messenger Bag VEG Leather Price: 19,800 yen
The flap is made from vegetable-tanned leather, giving it a matte texture and understated finish, while a bold Ultraman-inspired graphic brings the visual punch. Beyond its distinctive looks, the bag offers water resistance, durability, and a magnetic closure for easy everyday use.
▼ ULTRAMAN SERIES 60th × Manhattan Portage Jogger Bag Price: 9,900 yen
Based on Manhattan Portage’s best-selling Jogger Bag, this custom edition celebrates Ultraman’s 60th anniversary. It features a limited marble-pattern logo patch inspired by the Ultraseven opening sequence, while the opposite side displays newly drawn artwork of Ultraseven and Ultraman Zero. The father-and-son pairing gives the bag an unmistakable Ultra Series identity.
▼ Mamoru Uchiyama Ultraman Series Art T-Shirts Price: 5,000 yen each
Mamoru Uchiyama created numerous Ultraman manga adaptations for Shogakukan’s educational magazines and other publications, earning him a special place among Ultra Series fans. This collection includes nine T-shirt designs, each drawing on treasured original manga pages to showcase classic scenes and signature illustrations.
Alongside characters such as Ultraman and Ultraman Taro, the lineup also features original Ultra Heroes and monsters created by Uchiyama.
The full collection is currently available to preorder through the dedicated collaboration section of Shogakukan’s official online store, Shogakukan Department Store.
