Fist of the North Star in Kichijoji, Autumn 2026

After noticing and snapping this Fist of the North Star banner at the station side entrance to Kichijoji's Sun Road, a covered shopping street, I was curious about the collaboration, so I looked it up!
Apparently, the banner went up around September 17th, after the district's autumn festival. Unfortunately, the official X account of Sun Road only said when it went up, but not when it will come down. It also mentioned that at the Itsukaichi Kaido entrance you can see other artwork from the anime.
Moreover, currently Gallery Zenon has a Fist of the "North Star Original Artwork Exhibition Returns+ From the End of the Century to Emperor" until October 25th, 2026. It features 150 original hand-drawn manga pages by creator Tetsuo Hara that were previously shown during the series' 40th Anniversary exhibition.
Gallery Zenon is located just a few minutes walk from Kichijoji station. It is on the 2nd floor of Zenon Sakaba building, near the south side of the station on the way toward Inokashira Park. Reportedly, there is also a collaboration cafe beside the gallery which offers five exclusive Fist of the North Star menu items.
