#Akira Amano Exhibition

[queenharumiura]

2024 Akira Amano 'The Characters' Exhibition bonus 'Selfie-style' cards.

[ID: Official art of multiple characters from the manga and anime Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

They're all drawn as if taking a selfie, most of them smiling and/or doing a peace sign or another playful gesture with their hand.

Reborn, Colonnello, Viper and Fon are in their cursed forms, with Viper pulling their hood down, trying to hide more of their face.

Gokudera waves at us, with "Vongola Famiglia" written on his palm and the Vongola's emblem drawn on it too. Lambo is in his Ten Years Later version, Tsuna's shown both in his normal state and in Hyper Dying Will mode, Basil is in Hyper Dying Will mode too and Chrome's wearing cat ears.

Squalo and Xanxus are scowling. /End ID]

「天野明展」現地レポート！

[seekers-who-are-lovers]

Ahhhhh… he is really dedicated. I salute him.

Youhei Azakami, our Ron Kamonohashi, visited Akira Amano’s The Characters exhibition. He’s so cute. I love him.

I went to the Amano Akira exhibition.

The exhibit features KamoRon, Reborn and ElDlive, and I was reminded of the joy of being involved with Amano-sensei's work ☺️

My motivation for the 2nd Season has increased! 💪

The Tokyo venue is open until next Sunday! Come on over!

Arcobaleno Pre-Curse Heights

A quick disclaimer before we begin. I am not the best at guessing heights based just off images but I tried my best. If anyone has any corrections do let me know.

Canon:

Lal Mirch: 5’5 (166 cm)

Uni: 4’10 (148 cm)

Luce: 5’7 (170 cm)

Assumptions based on manga panels:

Reborn: 6’1 – 6’2 (186-189 cm)

Fon: 5’8 – 5’9 (175 cm)

Mammon: 4’11 (150 cm)

Aria: 5’5 (165 cm)

Unknown:

Colonnello

Verde

Skull

More info and explanations under the cut ↓

Another important thing to note beforehand. Many of the pictures of the Arcobaleno drawn all together by both the Amano themselves or the anime are very inconsistent, or they're standing at angles/strange perspectives, so it makes it impossible to tell their heights. Therefore, I will not be using those as references except for in one case which you will see further down.

Lal Mirch: Lal's official uncursed height was confirmed in the REBORN! ēlDLIVE character's 365 book.

Uni: Uni's official height was confirmed in the REBORN! ēlDLIVE character's 365.

Luce: Luce’s official height was confirmed on her display at the Amano Akira Exhibition (it also says she likes basking in the sun/sunbathing which is so cute). Unfortunetly, it was only Luce's who's uncursed height was revealed at this event.

Reborn: Mostly going off this image of his fight with Iemitsu. They are both at an angle, and both a little slouched (Reborn more so due to him having his arms being held down). However, it's obvious they are at least very similar in height if not the same height. Iemitsu's canon height is 189 cm or 6’2 thus I placed Reborn at around the same.

Fon: Fon's height seems to be pretty similar to Hibari's! Perhaps a little taller if anything since in the photo below he's leaning away and down a bit (since Hibari is hitting him) and Hibari even seems to be slouching a tiny bit. Hibari's canon height is 169 cm or 5'6 maybe even 5'7. And so I placed Fon a few inches taller.

Mammon: Okay, Mammon's used a bit more of guess work but I'm pretty confident in my choice. In the photo below Bel is obviously leaning down quite a bit but if he were to stand up straight it would seem Mammon head would reach their chest. Bel is 170 or around 5’7. Looking at a height comparison chart/website, for someone to reach Bel's chest at the height I predicted they would be about 4'11 (150 cm). Not to mention Bel himself says to them "but your size is pretty compact".

Aria: Little hard to tell here since the first pic she’s at an angle (at least I’m assuming). but she’s a little past Gamma’s shoulder. Gamma is 6 foot (185 cm) so I placed Aria is about 5’5 (165 cm) (once again using the height comparison chart).

Colonnello: OKAY SO. This is a struggle for me. Ultimately I placed him still as unknown as the information was too inconsistent. Here are pics of Colonnello next to Lal. We see that her head is to his chest, the top hitting his shoulders. Lal is 5'5 (166 cm). Using my height calculator that would place Colonnello at 6'6 (198 cm)?????

Now, the reason I can't 100% get behind this is if we look at the photo below! Obviously they're all at an angle and perspective is weird so we can't actually use this as a reference! However, I do believe there is some truth in it and here you can not tell me Colonnello looks 6'6!! At the very least though I think we can confirm he's most likely the tallest of them unless one day we discover Verde or Skull are giants.

Verde: Unfortunetly he does not appear to stand next to anyone while uncursed so I can not compare heights.

Skull: Skull only briefly stands in front of Enma while uncursed for a bit. However, Enma is crouched down so it would be very hard for me to compare heights.

If anyone has any additional thoughts or information please let me know!

The Varia in the Akira Amano Exhibition, from shitty bootleg photos so it’s hard to read 😭 I TRIED FOR YOU

Xanxus: Ah?

Squalo: Voiiii, don’t touch me like that!! I just shampooed my hair!!

Bel: Shishishi, why am I smiling? I’m the prince, after all ♪

Levi: Live your life remembering how to say the “V” in Varia!! (In Japanese, there is no “V” sound. Varia is hard to say, sounds like Baria 💀)

Fran: I’ve been told to stay put by everyone, so I’m staying put.

Mammon: You looked into my eyes, I’m not going to show you that for free.

Lussuria: Oh my, is it over already!?!? From here on, I was the best part!

Found out from this JP user that Amano released info for Lal, Luce, and Oregano! Their heights, specifically. Luce is 170 cm, Lal is 166 cm, and Oregano is 171 cm! They found this out at the Amano Akira exhibition!

[existanceale]

This is a redraw of Xanxus of the promotional art exhibit of Akira Amano.

Hope you like it!

Suggestions to do if you are in Tokyo

If you are in Tokyo right now, you could go to the NHK Building in Shibuya and visit Wakamiya and Yukiya and listen to them read poetry. And if you still have time head to Ikekuburo for Akira Amano’s grand-scale The Characters exhibition while eating ice cream from Family Mart and at the same collecting the posters off Kuroshitsuji characters.

Sounds nifty, right?

What would I do to be there right now. 😭

The tickets to the Akira Amano Exhibition for the first days sold out so fast, but I managed to snag the second phase ones!!! Let's goooooo. Also, I have more health related appointments lined up / a butt load of comms to work through so I will likely be absent for a few days. If you'd like to chat or plot, feel free to ask for my discord <3

It is here, my friends, it is here! The most awaited after-show talk of the Episode 26!!!

Azakami-kun and Enojun discussed their thoughts concerning what happened in the Plateau Auberge arc.

Some points of interest:

- RonToto’s relationship. “It is quite an unexpected development so far, and I was surprised. Growth, really, when you look back from episode 1, yes, yes, yes, they've grown, haven't they? It makes you feel nostalgic, doesn't it?”

- Both reiterated that every time Ron is in a pinch, Toto is always there to save the day. He was able to see beyond Tiger Dan’s lies. And Ron realised that Toto was right. He’s come a long way since the first episode.

- They mentioned that the case is quite long with “a prologue, a middle, an epilogue, and then a conclusion.” And the number of characters who died was many.

- Both are asking for support for the anime, not only the original work.

Enojun : I hope this cool season will be a big hit.

Azakami: That's right, everyone's support is being transformed into strength, and we want to aim for first place on all the distribution sites. We have that kind of determination, and if that feeling has reached everyone, I'd be happy.

- They were amazed of the number of costars, popular ones, seniors and juniors, who were cast.

Azakami: It was quite a large group, and the recording was really a luxury, wasn't it?

I think it was Enojun who said : “After all, you can tell who the culprit is by the famous voice actors, right? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, but everyone was so amazing that l didn't know who the culprit was.” (Both are laughing.)

- There was no huge gap between season 1 and season 2. So they were thinking if there was a huge one between seasons it might feel like, “long time no see.”

- They also mentioned that supporting cast members like Taku’s Spitz and Hikasa’s Amamiya had shorter appearances. Also, Matsuoka’s Milo Moriarty.

Azakami: They made such a cool appearance.

Enojun: They were the MVP, right? Spitz was amazing.

It must be the boon of voice acting industry when you are part of the cast but you don’t have many lines.

- Both were sad to see their costars disappear after a few sessions.

Azakami: Oh, “they're not here next week?" Just when you thought you were getting closer, they were gone. But Kosayu-san (Takehito, Tiger Dan) really brightened up the recording studio. (“His Tiger Dan was really cool!” <- Azakami-kun)

Enojun: Despite being the culprit, he seemed to be having a lot of fun.

- They gushed over the surprise voice actor of Mylo-bear, Neeko, who was Reborn on “Katekyo Hitman Reborn,” Akira Amano’s first successful work. Azakami said he was AA’s fan and was really elated. It delighted the KHR fans. In which way, Matsuoka told him his thoughts concerning the script.

Azakami: During a break, Yotsu-san quietly said, "Hey, I noticed something." In the script, it's written as "Milokuma," referring to Milo’s plush toy bear.

- Azakami wanted everyone to come back bc the story isn’t over yet. And they might have more lines to deliver. “Besides there is still that one traitor at the BLUE, right?”

- They were curious how will these individual characters interact with each other in the future.

- The two thanked the fans’ support and were amazed at the international ones, for the series’ popularity. Owing to the streaming sites, the recent stage adaptation and The Characters exhibition.

Azakami: I hope the story will be animated in the future, and I hope everyone will stream it near them.

Unfortunately, they didn’t discuss the “cancelled” sound of the dialogue at the end of the episode. Was it not a huge deal? Didn’t they get the excitement from the viewers? (Or did I miss that part?)

Anyway, here it is. I hope the third season won’t take long.

PS: if you have anything to add, please do!!!

Neo I wanna know [what some of your random facts about khr is ]

[Neo's game time] ||Accepting|| Skipping ahead a lil bit because this would be a quicker answer

I'll throw down some random facts that I can think of off the top of my head that left an impression on me for being interesting.

Tsuna's home address was listed as: xx city 12th street in the manga

Hibari has TWO hedgehog box weapons, but the other one has never been seen again after being introduced once during the spar between TYL Hibari and Tsuna where Tsuna takes the box and unleashes roll- who then gets engulfed by Hibari's other hedgehog.

Kyoko's extended family members live far from Namimori as evidenced by her saying that she can't see her cousins very easily, implying there is a great distance between the families.

Did you know that Haru's original birthday (In the Haru Haru Interview section for the manga) was listed as November 24th, which made her a Sagittarius? It was later changed to May 3rd, a Taurus. (I know there are other discrepancies somewhere, but I don't remember what they are. Moving on!)

Luce's birthday was never made official in the KHR calendar pages nor elDive 365 character profiles, BUT it was revealed in the Amano Akira Exhibition of 2024. Her birthday is September 1st!

I think that'll suffice for now for some random facts that I know.

The long-awaited Amano Akira exhibition It was the best and it was a happy space
