The Ultraman Series is loved across generations, genders, and even nationalities, and has grown into a global IP that represents Japanese culture. To mark the series' 60th anniversary in 2026, DIME's December 2026 issue features Ultraman. As special collaboration items, DIME has created original T-shirts boldly designed with manuscript art by manga artist Mamoru Uchiyama, known for The Ultraman and other works, along with limited-edition collaboration bags with the popular brand Manhattan Portage.
Themed around "with U," the core message of the Ultraman Series 60th anniversary, the items were designed from DIME's own perspective to let people feel the presence of Ultraman, loved by children and adults alike, in everyday life.
