Anime fans have a reason to celebrate as Naruto: The Gallery makes its first-ever international debut at Universal Studios Singapore at Resorts World Sentosa, from now to 30 June 2024. Following its showing in Japan at Akiba Square in Akihabara UDX, the exhibition in Singapore will bring to life the iconic world of shinobi (ninja) created by Masashi Kishimoto. From character profiles to iconic scenes, visitors will experience up close the evolution of the beloved anime series. Complementing this immersive experience are a pop-up Naruto: The Gallery Café and official exhibition merchandise.
Centred on Uzumaki Naruto’s tumultuous journey in overcoming his past, fate, and rivals to become the Hokage (head) of the Konohagakure no Sato (Hidden Leaf Village), Naruto is celebrated worldwide for its compelling characters, intricate world-building, and the theme of perseverance, friendship, and self-discovery. Naruto is one of the best-selling manga series of all time, with 250 million copies in circulation across the globe. In line with the 20th anniversary of the Naruto anime, Naruto: The Gallery is organised by Group IME and is presented by Resorts World Sentosa and touring partner SL Experiences.
Experience The Legendary Naruto Saga Through Dynamic Storytelling
Located at Soundstage 28 in Universal Studios Singapore, Naruto: The Gallery will showcase the narrative and history of Naruto through a series of six areas with storyboards, character art and video displays. Fans will get to relive pivotal moments from Naruto’s early years to his ultimate showdowns, including the path of Naruto’s rival Sasuke and the climactic events of the Fourth Great Ninja War. Highlights will include a diorama of Naruto’s hometown, the Hidden Leaf Village, a collection of iconic and emotional scenes, and a seven-minute screening of the final battle in a 4D theatre. The exhibition also features exclusive video works of iconic scenes from Naruto by five Japanese animation artists – Ai Nina, Kohei Kadowaki, Kosuke Sugimoto, Kota Morie and que. Guests can capture unforgettable moments with Naruto characters at the photo booth at the end of the exhibition.
