World's First Official 'Dragon Ball' Store Goes Over 9,000 In Tokyo This Fall
Kamehameha! It's a wonder how Dragon Ball, one of the most beloved names in pop culture, hasn't gotten an official store after all this time, but things will soon change. In celebration of the franchise's 40th anniversary, Shueisha and Toei Animation have announced the opening of the first Dragon Ball store in the world later this year. In celebration of the DRAGON BALL 40th AnniversaryAnnouncing the world's first "DRAGON BALL STORE"! To open in Tokyo, fall of 2025https:// #DragonBall40th #dragonball #ドラゴンボール — DRAGON BALL OFFICIAL (@DB_official_en) July 13, 2025 The aptly-titled Dragon Ball Store is scheduled to launch in Tokyo, Japan, in the fall of 2025, featuring 'must-buy' items for fans that include limited-edition goods available nowhere else. Other information, such as the merchandise lineup and its exact location, will be unveiled 'shortly'. The well-loved franchise joins JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in welcoming a world's first store, with the latter coming to the sixth floor of Shibuya PARCO in Tokyo later this month. Created by the late Akira Toriyama, the Dragon Ball manga ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1984 to 1992 across 42 volumes. The first half was adapted into a 153-episode anime in 1986, while Dragon Ball Z continued the story from 1989 to 1996. The series is considered to be the most iconic part of the franchise, bringing memorable arcs focusing on Saiyan, Frieza, Majin Buu, and more to life. To date, it has sold over 160 million copies in Japan and 260 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling manga series to date. Prior to Toriyama's unfortunate passing, the industry legend was reported to be working on the Dragon Ball Super manga, which went on a semi-hiatus, and the Dragon Ball: Daima anime that aired last October. Si Jia is a casual geek at heart – or as casual as someone with Sephiroth's theme on her Spotify playlist can get. A fan of movies, games, and Japanese culture, Si Jia's greatest weakness is the Steam Summer Sale. Or any Steam sale, really. akira toriyama Dragon Ball Store dragon ball z Japan
