Toho International announced five panels at Anime Expo 2026 spanning My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, Frieren, and The Apothecary Diaries, with Japanese voice actors and creative staff confirmed as guests.
Toho International has revealed its full panel lineup for Anime Expo 2026, running July 3-6 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The schedule features five dedicated panels across four days, spotlighting My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, The Apothecary Diaries, and Though I Am an Inept Villainess.
The convention marks dual franchise anniversaries for Toho. My Hero Academia celebrates its 10-year milestone, while Jujutsu Kaisen hits five years since its anime debut. Both panels will occupy the Crypto.com Arena, the largest venue on the Anime Expo floor plan, underscoring their headliner status.
The My Hero Academia panel is scheduled for Saturday, July 4 at 2:30 PM and will feature Daiki Yamashita, the Japanese voice of Deku, alongside Koki Uchiyama, who voices Tomura Shigaraki. The Jujutsu Kaisen panel follows on Sunday, July 5 at 10:00 AM, bringing together Junya Enoki, Yuji Itadori's Japanese voice actor, and Adam McArthur, who voices Itadori in the English dub a bilingual pairing that should draw both sub and dub fans.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End gets a deep-dive panel on Saturday evening at 6:00 PM in the JW Platinum Ballroom. Rather than spotlighting voice actors, Toho is sending a production-heavy delegation: director Tomoya Kitagawa, supporting director Keiichiro Saito, character designer Keisuke Kojima, and animation producer Yuichiro Fukushi. The four-person creative team lineup signals a focus on the craft behind the critically acclaimed series, and fans can likely expect behind-the-scenes production insights.
The convention kicks off on Friday, July 3 with The Apothecary Diaries panel at the Peacock Theater from 8:30 to 9:30 PM, co-hosted by Crunchyroll and NTV. Saturday morning opens with Though I Am an Inept Villainess at 10:00 AM in Room 403AB, featuring voice actors Hana Hishikawa and Makoto Furukawa.
Beyond panels, Toho's booth at SH-3106 promises an immersive experience inspired by the company's theatrical heritage. Attendees can collect complimentary badge clip-ons customizable with seven franchise designs, including Spy x Family and Kaiju No. 8. Limited-edition eco-bags featuring chibi artwork will be available through giveaway drawings, and social media contests will offer exclusive merchandise and signed shikishi boards.
Anime Expo 2026 runs July 3-6 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Toho's five-panel spread, anchored by the My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen anniversary celebrations, positions the distributor as one of the convention's heaviest hitters this year. Several of the featured titles are available to stream on Crunchyroll, with The Apothecary Diaries also accessible on Netflix in select regions.
