Oshikatsu fan culture technology expo in Tokyo

Overview

The 6th Oshikatsu EXPO Autumn is scheduled to take place at Tokyo Big Sight from October 7 to 9. The event focuses on the evolution of “Oshikatsu” (fan activities), highlighting technologies that move beyond simple decoration toward immersive experiences involving sound and movement.

Exhibitors will demonstrate advanced fan merchandise, including WebAR systems for character voice recognition, NFC-equipped charms, and digital moving badges. These developments align with the Japanese government’s “Entertainment and Creative Industry Strategy 2026,” which seeks to expand the overseas sales of Japanese content through “IP 360-degree expansion.”
