Every Year, Kyoto International Manga Anime Fair (KYOMAF for short), one of the largest manga and anime events in western Japan, has traditionally released collaboration visuals that combines popular anime, manga, game franchises with Kyoto's tourist attractions ahead of the opening. As usual, the event's Executive Committee released "KYOMAFU Collaboration Visuals" for its upcoming 2025 edition today. This year's theme is "Totteoki no Kyoto" ("Absolute Favorite Kyoto"). A total of six beautiful visuals feature popular anime characters drawn against the background of "absolute favorite" spots in Kyoto with hidden charm known to those in the know. Kaiju No. 8 x Lake Biwa Canal Museum Lake Biwa Canal Museum is a museum located in Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City.
