This summer, fans of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba can immerse themselves in the world of Tanjiro and the Mugen Train through a special, limited-time collaboration at Bearology Temple City. Presented by Boba Bear in partnership with Aniplex of America, the officially licensed Demon Slayer × Boba Bear experience launches on June 8, 2025. It features Mugen Train-themed décor, exclusive drinks and merchandise, and interactive elements that bring the beloved Demon Slayer anime to life.
In addition to Bearology Temple City, the Demon Slayer × Boba Bear experience will also appear at major anime and night market events throughout the summer, including Anime Expo LA, 626 Night Market, and Foodieland.
What is Demon Slayer?
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, based on Koyoharu Gotoge’s best-selling manga, follows Tanjiro Kamado’s journey to save his demon-turned sister after their family is slain. Produced by studio Ufotable, the anime debuted in 2019 and has since expanded through multiple acclaimed arcs, feature films, and global theatrical releases. Known for its emotional depth, dynamic battles, and standout animation, the series continues to captivate audiences worldwide, with the upcoming Infinity Castle trilogy confirmed for theaters.
