The Gintama 20th Anniversary Project will run from 2023, the 20th anniversary of the Gintama manga, to 2026, the 20th anniversary of the Gintama TV anime.

On Tuesday, October 10 (Japan time), the 20th anniversary portal site opened as part of the project. Today is also the protagonist, Gintoki Sakata’s birthday.

The 20th anniversary portal will also handle various events, good information, and hot topics related to Gintama.

The Gintama franchise also released a 20th anniversary memorial visual, which paid homage to the frontispiece art of the manga’s first chapter, “Nobody with Natural Wavy Hair Can Be That Bad.”

Furthermore, Gintama SOUND ULTRA SOUL! 24, the first live concert featuring the anime’s soundtrack music, will take place at Zepp DiverCity, Tokyo.
