To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the serialization of "City Hunter," published by Coremix Inc., on February 26, 2025, the largest original art exhibition in the series' history, "City Hunter Original Art Exhibition ~FOREVER, CITY HUNTER~," will be held at the Ueno Royal Museum from Saturday, November 22, 2025 to Sunday, December 28, 2025.
Tickets for the exhibition will go on sale from 10:00 AM on Thursday, September 25th. This exhibition is dedicated to all fans of "City Hunter," and is the largest exhibition in the series' history, packed with memorable scenes and lines that are etched in everyone's hearts. The fateful encounter between Ryo and Kaori. The trust built with unique colleagues and clients. And the bond between Ryo and Kaori, who recognize each other as irreplaceable partners. This cool, comical, sometimes poignant, and deeply moving story is now condensed into one big exhibit. An impressive display of over 400 original drawings will be on display. Furthermore, the exhibition is packed with must-see exhibits for fans, including rare materials, photo spots where you can immerse yourself in the world of the series, and special videos.
Please enjoy to your heart's content the endless charm of "City Hunter," which has continued to shine for over 40 years. Further information regarding this exhibition will be announced in late October or early November. In addition, a crowdfunding project titled "XYZ…We want to bring Ryo Saeba to the Ueno Royal Museum!!" is also being held in preparation for the exhibition.

Original information
The three letters "XYZ" are written on the message board at the east exit of Shinjuku Station – a desperate message from a client who has "no more chances." Ryo Saeba, a top-notch sniper but also an unrivaled lover of beautiful women, and his partner Kaori Makimura team up as "City Hunters," sweepers of the underworld, to solve various requests, sometimes even getting aroused by beautiful clients. The series was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1985 to 1991, and celebrated its 40th anniversary on February 26, 2025.
