KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 23 (Bernama) -- Tobu Tower Skytree Co Ltd, the operator of Tokyo Skytree, has kicked off a special collaboration with the popular anime series "My Hero Academia" for the event "My Hero Academia in Tokyo Skytree".

The event, which began on Jan 8, will run through April 8 and marks the first partnership between the tower and the anime, based on the hit manga by Kohei Horikoshi, that was published in the Weekly Shonen Jump (Shueisha).

The 450-metre-high Tembo Galleria has an exhibition featuring the event's key visuals, along with limited-edition event-only merchandise and special cafe menu items.

In addition, a photo shoot service is available to those who want a picture of themselves with their favourite "My Hero Academia" characters of their choice, according to a statement.

On the 350-metre-high Tembo Deck, exclusive videos are screened on the windows converted into a giant screen of Skytree Round Theater every night throughout the event, while the exterior of the tower will also be illuminated with "My Hero Academia"-themed lighting inspired by various anime characters.

Furthermore, Tokyo Skytree's official character Sorakara-chan, dressed as All Might, a prominent character in "My Hero Academia", has four meet-and-greet sessions daily with visitors to pose for snapshots taken with them.

Special admission tickets to these observation decks featuring "My Hero Academia" novelty card, are also available.

The 634-metre-high Tokyo Skytree is the world's tallest free-standing broadcasting tower, which has two observation decks, namely the Tembo Deck and the Tembo Galleria, commanding a spectacular panoramic view of Tokyo.
