BEAMS MANGART, a BEAMS project that takes on product development and branding for Japanese culture such as manga, anime and games from BEAMS' own point of view, is releasing its first collaboration items with the anime Cowboy Bebop. The items go on sale from Friday, October 30, 2026 at BEAMS CULTUART Takanawa and the BEAMS official online shop.
The collaboration is a special lineup that comes to life in the milestone year of the 25th anniversary of the film COWBOY BEBOP Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door, alongside the release of its 4K remaster.
Art director Tetsuya Nagato (永戸鉄也) was invited to collage the memorable scenes, characters and motifs that symbolize Cowboy Bebop. By combining a variety of scenes from the story and reconstructing them as a single piece of artwork, the items are made to convey the appeal of the work both to fans who already know it and to people encountering it for the first time.
These are items unique to BEAMS MANGART, letting people enjoy the charm of Cowboy Bebop as art.

About the Works
Cowboy Bebop
Story
In a future where human activity has expanded as far as the Saturn system, the police cannot cover all of it, violent crime runs rampant, and the bounty system has been revived to counter it. Spike and Jet are "cowboys" who go after those bounties. Drawing in an odd bunch of companions, including Faye, a female gambler, Ed, a genius hacker, and Ein, a "data dog" with human-level intelligence, the spaceship Bebop chases bounty targets across the solar system again today.
About the series
An anime based on an original concept by Sunrise, whose TV series aired in 1998 and whose film version was shown in 2001.
"Bebop" is a jazz style that prizes improvised arrangement, and as the title suggests, the stories center on the interplay of various characters, starting with the protagonist Spike, with each episode taking on a different tone, from serious to comedic. It is a sci-fi action series that is full of playfulness while being known for its stylish visuals and music.
