Dive into the Whimsical World of “The Battle Cats” in Yokohama!
Kyodo Printing Co., Ltd. is set to launch a captivating touring exhibition for the globally beloved smartphone game, “The Battle Cats,” in Yokohama. Titled “Let’s Go Out! The Battle Cats Exhibition,” this event promises an immersive journey into the quirky universe of the game, inviting fans to experience its charm firsthand.
Since its debut in 2012 on iOS and Android, “The Battle Cats” has evolved into a monumental success, boasting over 110 million downloads worldwide by September 2025. This tower defense game, where players protect their own castle while conquering enemy strongholds with a diverse army of eccentric felines, has captivated audiences across Japan and beyond, extending its paw prints to future and even cosmic realms.
Under the supervision of PONOS Corporation, the exhibition will vividly bring to life the unique world of “The Battle Cats.” Visitors will wander through meticulously recreated stages from the Japan, Future, and Space chapters, along with the Gamatoto Expedition. Beyond the interactive displays, the exhibition offers a deep dive into the game’s rich history, featuring past collaborations, never-before-seen character rough sketches from its development, and even snippets of “Neko’s Hito-koto” (Cat’s Sayings) – a true treasure trove for dedicated fans.
“It’s a rare chance to step directly into the world we’ve spent countless hours defending,” a fan might exclaim, eagerly anticipating the event. The exhibition is not just a visual feast; it’s also an opportunity to snag exclusive, venue-limited original merchandise. Additionally, a selection of popular items from the PONOS Official Store “Nyanko Dai Shoten” and its pop-up “Nyanko Dai Shoten Shucchojo ~Kaiun Shofuku!~” will be available for purchase, ensuring every attendee can take a piece of the feline fun home.
