Capcom is celebrating its storied legacy with a major exhibition in Tokyo titled “Capcom Creation: Moving Hearts Across the Globe.” The event explores the dynamic relationship between technology and artistic expression that has defined the studio’s global impact.
Designed to provide a personal look at the creative process, the exhibition begins with “Characters on Parade,” an immersive animated tunnel showcasing Capcom’s extensive roster of icons. The journey continues through a curated display of original design documents, hand-drawn sketches and vintage promotional posters, offering rare insight into the studio’s formative years.
Engagement is a core feature of the event, highlighted by several hands-on installations. The “Motion Capture Mirrors” allow attendees to virtually control classic characters like Ryu from Street Fighter, using motion-sensing technology that requires no specialized equipment. Additionally, the “Resident Evil New Walkthrough Experience” utilizes wall-projected sensors to immerse visitors in a world of interactive zombies. Notably, the exhibition also features other installations inspired by beloved game franchises, including Monster Hunter, Mega Man and Devil May Cry.
Held at the Creative Museum Tokyo from December 20 to February 22, 2026, the exhibition serves as a significant celebration of the imagination and technical execution central to Japan’s gaming culture. Check out the images of the exhibition’s past venue in Osaka above.
