JAPAN, September 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Since May 2024, KODANSHA has teamed up with HERALBONY on projects to bring the stories of artists with disabilities to the world and contribute to fostering free and diverse values. The latest collaboration will be launched in October.
In this collaboration, four HERALBONY's contracted artists use their original art to decorate figures of Tachikoma, a character from the anime series of KODANSHA’s hit sci-fi series THE GHOST IN THE SHELL.
Members of the public will get to see these masterpieces featuring Tachikoma from GHOST IN THE SHELL SAC_2045 at KODANSHA HOUSE, a pop-up event providing an immersive experience of popular KODANSHA manga that will be held in SoHo, New York City from October 4 EDT. The HERALBONY's contracted artists’ ghosts are part of a larger exhibit that will draw visitors into THE GHOST IN THE SHELL’s world.
This project is part of KODANSHA’s ongoing efforts to contribute to fostering free and diverse values by weaving stories with creators who break all barriers through the power of expression. As KODANSHA continues to work with HERALBONY to change society’s perception of “disability” through methods that have never been seen before, the world can be sure that there will be more amazing stories to come.

About THE GHOST IN THE SHELL
Created by manga artist Shirow Masamune, this sci-fi series was first released in the fifth issue of Young Magazine Kaizokuban, a special supplement of the seinen magazine Young Magazine, from 1989. Protagonist Motoko Kusanagi is a cyborg with a range of super powers including a cyberbrain and superior fighting capabilities. A major in the Japanese National Public Safety Commission, she leads Public Security Section 9, tackling increasingly sophisticated and complex cybercrime.
Blending a realistic, detailed art style with cyberpunk elements and philosophical themes, the series takes a deep dive into topics such as personal identity and interactions between humans and technology, and has influenced many creators.
