The manga "Haikyu!!" by Haruichi Furudate, which began serialization in Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump" in February 2012, has captured the hearts of fans with its intense high school volleyball drama. The series concluded in July 2020 after an 8.5-year run, with a total of 45 volumes and over 60 million copies in circulation. The anime adaptation, which started airing on MBS and TBS networks in 2014, reached its fourth season, "Haikyu!! TO THE TOP," and continued to enthrall fans. The movie "Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle," released on February 16 this year, grossed over 20 billion yen worldwide.

As part of the "Anime 'Haikyu!!' 10th Anniversary - Tsunagu - Project," a new visual that connects all the schools was unveiled. This project kicked off on April 6 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the anime's broadcast. The visual, which brings together characters from various schools, symbolizes unity and is a fitting tribute to the series' milestone year.

The visual features formidable rivals who have honed their skills alongside Karasuno High School. Since the project's inception, monthly "Connecting School Visuals" have been released, showcasing Hinata Shoyo and Kageyama Tobio from Karasuno High School, Oikawa Toru and Iwaizumi Hajime from Aoba Johsai High School, Kuroo Tetsuro and Kenma Kozume from Nekoma High School, Aone Takanobu and Futakuchi Kenji from Date Tech High School, Ushijima Wakatoshi and Tendo Satori from Shiratorizawa Academy, Bokuto Kotaro and Akaashi Keiji from Fukurodani Academy, and Hoshiumi Korai and Hirugami Sachiro from Kamomedai High School. Each character’s unique visual has now been combined into a single, interconnected artwork.

This comprehensive visual is currently on display at the "Haikyu!! Anime 10th Anniversary Exhibition: All Senses EXHIBITION," which started on the 13th. This exhibition, filled with the history of the anime's 10 years, features newly illustrated welcoming images of Hinata and Kageyama.

Visitors can immerse themselves in the world of "Haikyu!!" with character voices filling the venue and a large screen showcasing dynamic match scenes in the "Voice Multi-Angle Theater," providing a sense of being part of the game. Additionally, the "Character Focus Area" and "Team Focus Area" bring together rivals, allowing fans to revisit intense match scenes and famous lines.
