HYTE at Anime Expo 2026

Another incredible Anime Expo is in the books! From exciting products and officially licensed collaborations to special guest appearances, giveaways, and hands-on experiences, Anime Expo 2026 was an unforgettable weekend for the HYTE community.

Whether you stopped by Booth #2342 or followed along from home, thank you for making this year's show so special. Here's a look back at everything that happened during Anime Expo 2026.

What is Anime Expo?

Anime Expo (AX) is North America's largest celebration of Japanese pop culture, bringing together fans to experience anime, manga, games, music, cosplay, VTubers, artists, and more. Hosted annually by the Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation (SPJA), Anime Expo features four days of industry panels, concerts, shopping, premieres, and fan experiences.

When & Where Was Anime Expo 2026?

Anime Expo 2026 took place July 2 through July 5 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Downtown Los Angeles.

This year's event featured ongoing construction around the convention center, creating a different layout for attendees to navigate. Even with the changes, fans packed the venue all weekend long.

HYTE welcomed visitors at Booth #2342 in the West Hall, where attendees explored our newest products, met special guests, and had chances to win prizes throughout the show.

HYTE at Anime Expo 2026

There was always something happening at the HYTE booth. Throughout the weekend, fans experienced our latest products up close, met creators and voice actors, and took home exclusive prizes.

Experience the Y50 RGB

Attendees had the opportunity to check out the upcoming HYTE Y50 RGB in person.

Builders explored the case up close, got a better look at its design, and experienced one of HYTE's newest cases before its upcoming release.

Persona 30th Anniversary Collection

Fans also got an up-close look at the HYTE x Persona 30th Anniversary collection.

Created in collaboration with SEGA/ATLUS, the collection celebrates three decades of the iconic Persona series with a themed keycap set, two desk pad designs, and an acrylic diorama stand. With pre-orders now available, Persona fans were excited to experience the collection in person.

HYTE x Ninomae Ina'nis

The newest HYTE x hololive collaboration featuring Ninomae Ina'nis was another fan favorite throughout the weekend.

Visitors experienced the HYTE x Ninomae Ina'nis Y70 touch infinite, featuring beautiful artwork by Ina herself and Rosuuri across both tempered glass panels, along with exclusive Takodachi firmware integrated into the touch display. The matching keycap and desk pad bundle completed the collection on display.

Meet Our Special Guests

Fans had the opportunity to meet an incredible lineup of special guests throughout the weekend.

Voice actors Sam Slade, Alice Himora, Courtney Steele, and Analesa Fisher joined us for meet and greet sessions, while VTubers Rubee and Mina Aoyama also met with fans during their meet and greet. We were also thrilled to welcome artist Rosuuri, who signed the HYTE x Sakura Miko Y70 she illustrated while celebrating her newest work as one of the artists behind the HYTE x Ninomae Ina'nis collection.
