Event
Azuki TCG is headed to Anime Expo® 2026
Azuki TCG is coming to the Los Angeles Convention Center for Anime Expo® 2026. From July 2-5, you can find us in the West Hall at Booth 424.
Gates Awakened (AZK-01) is officially live, and Anime Expo® will be the first major convention where players and collectors can experience the game, the cards, and the story together in one place. If you are new to Azuki TCG, come learn the game. If you have already been ripping Set 1, come battle, meet the team, and see what is coming next from the world behind the cards.
Learn to play Azuki TCG
We will be running Azuki TCG demos throughout Anime Expo® weekend. No prior experience is needed. Our team will walk you through the basics, help you understand the gates, and get you playing at the table.
Players who complete a demo will have a chance to receive AX®-exclusive cards while supplies last. Demo space may fill up, so we recommend stopping by Booth 424 early.
Battle with starter decks
Want to jump straight into a match? We will also be running Starter Deck Battles at the booth.
Choose your element, sit down for a quick game, and compete for AX® cards while supplies last. It is one of the easiest ways to try Azuki TCG for the first time, especially if you are deciding whether Fire, Water, Earth, or Lightning is your style.
AX® promo cards and set 1 boosters!
Anime Expo® will feature special AX® promo cards, including stamped full art versions of The Red Bean and Shao's Perseverance.
We will have a booth for live pack rips, where players and collectors and share pulls. Whether you love anime art and high quality cards, want to collect the first physical cards from the Azuki universe, or just seek the thrill of ripping packs, this is the place to be.
The Special Card Collection debuts at Anime Expo®
The Azuki TCG Special Card Collection will make its first appearance at Anime Expo®.
This limited-edition collection features 10 unique Azuki TCG cards in a premium display format. It is built for collectors who want an early physical piece of the Azuki universe as the world expands from cards into manga and beyond.
The Special Card Collection will be available at Booth 424 while supplies last.
Read the AZUKI manga before it launches
Anime Expo® attendees will also get an exclusive first look at the AZUKI manga, including Ch. 1: Sisters and Ch. 2: Pact.
This is the first chance to meet Shao through the manga before its free global launch on Azuki.com in September 2026. The cards introduced the world. The manga begins to show where that world is going.
Meet Arnold Tsang
Arnold Tsang, co-creator of Azuki and creator of the AZUKI manga, will be at the booth for meet-and-greets and live drawing moments throughout the event.
Arnold helped shape the character design and visual identity of Overwatch, and AZUKI marks his return to manga. Come by to meet him, watch him draw, and get a closer look at the characters and story behind the cards.
Shop Azuki TCG products and merch
We will have Azuki TCG products and merch available at the booth, including Gates Awakened booster packs, booster boxes, starter decks, accessories, and select Azuki merch.
Whether you are starting your first deck, collecting Set 1, or looking for something to bring home from Anime Expo®, Booth 424 will have plenty to check out.
