ACGHK 2026 Opens Today — hololive, Demon Slayer VA Live in Hong Kong

The 27th Ani-Com & Games Hong Kong opened this morning, and it is already shaping up as the most expansive edition in ACGHK’s history. Running 24–28 July 2026 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the event expanded into Halls 1, 3 and 5 simultaneously for the first time — its largest floor plan ever — with 201 exhibitors and 689 participants across five days.

For Singapore fans, ACGHK is one of the most accessible cons in the region — a 3.5-hour flight, an MTR stop from the HKCEC, and a line-up that routinely pulls exclusive reveals and guests you won’t see anywhere else in Asia. This year is no different.

Cover Corporation and Medialink Group have launched a collaboration themed around an afternoon tea party, featuring seven talents across three divisions of hololive: Shirakami Fubuki and Momosuzu Nene (hololive JP), Kobo Kanaeru (hololive Indonesia), and Ninomae Ina’nis, Hakos Baelz, Fuwawa Abyssgard and Mococo Abyssgard (hololive English).

The “It’s holo-tea time!” collection is available exclusively at Medialink’s Booth E01 in Hall 1 throughout ACGHK. The merchandise line is wide: linku blind box plushies (HKD$79 each, $395 for the full set of 5), heart-shaped badge sets (14 designs, $38/piece or $392 for the complete set), acrylic stands ($98 each), teacup-shaped keychains, an art book ($98), T-shirts ($200), perfume ($298), and lucky bags packed with paper goods and textiles.

A second hololive collection, hololive natsu Paradise – hololive Generation 0, is also available at the same booth, covering a separate set of Gen 0 talents with summer-themed designs. SG fans who can’t make the trip should watch Medialink’s online store — convention exclusives have historically sold out but sometimes restock online weeks later.

Kengo Kawanishi and Sumire Uesaka Live on Stage

Two Japanese voice actors are on the guest list this year. Kengo Kawanishi — the voice of Muichiro Tokito in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba — is performing live at the HKCEC over the weekend. Joining him is Sumire Uesaka, known to SG fans as Motoko Kusanagi in the recent Ghost in the Shell anime and Hayase Nagatoro in Don’t Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro. Uesaka is also a JPop artist, so her appearances often include musical performances alongside stage talk.

ShishiWata Virtual Fan Meeting

On the VTuber side, hololive’s beloved duo Shishiro Botan and Tsunomaki Watame — known together as “ShishiWata” — are headlining a virtual fan meeting at ACGHK. The pair have been a fan-favourite pairing for years, and their ACGHK appearance (even in virtual format) marks the first major region-wide fan meeting for this duo outside Japan.
