Kyoto Manga Anime Fair Lists 2026 YouTube Stage Streams

Official visual for Kyoto International Manga Anime Fair 2026

Kyoto International Manga Anime Fair has published the official YouTube schedule for its 2026 stage program, giving overseas anime fans a practical way to follow selected sessions remotely on September 19 and 20, Japan time.

What Was Announced

The Kyoto International Manga Anime Fair (KYOMAF) executive committee posted the streaming lineup on September 11, 2026. The fair itself is scheduled for September 19–20 at Miyako Messe, Rohm Theatre Kyoto, and the Kyoto International Manga Museum. The official event page identifies the organizers as the KYOMAF Executive Committee and Kyoto City.

The announcement divides the online program between the main KYOMAF Stage and a Miyako Messe Stage. On Saturday, September 19, the KYOMAF Stage begins with the 10:00–10:40 opening stage and continues with sessions for Medalist, the 30th-anniversary Detective Conan stage, Made in Abyss, Kaze wo Tsugumono, Witch on the Holy Night, and The Elusive Samurai. Each listed session has an official YouTube live link on the schedule page.

Sunday’s KYOMAF Stage lineup begins with Yomi no Tsugai at 10:30 and includes Sometimes I’m Considered a Cool Guy Who Speaks Russian in Her Ear Season 2, Magic Knight Rayearth, Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- 4th season, The Vermilion Mask, and Disney Twisted-Wonderland. The second stage program adds sessions for Expelled from Paradise: Resonance of the Heart, Dengeki Daisy, Fate/Grand Order, Vertex Force, The Detective Is Already Dead Season 2, VS AMBIVALENZ, Rascal Does Not Dream, LONA, and the closing stage.

The official page does not promise that every session will contain a new trailer or announcement. It does, however, provide a specific stream destination for most of the listed slots. At the time of checking, the Fate/Grand Order entry did not display a YouTube URL on the notice, so viewers should recheck the official schedule rather than assume that every item is already watchable.

Why It Matters

For international fans, the important part is not simply that KYOMAF has a guest list. The new notice turns a Japan-based convention timetable into a usable remote-viewing calendar. Instead of searching for reposted clips or waiting for a later summary, viewers can start from links published by the event organizer and follow the sessions most relevant to them.

The lineup also connects several different kinds of anime news in one weekend. Some slots are tied to theatrical projects, such as Medalist and Witch on the Holy Night; others focus on returning television series, anniversary programming, or new properties. That mix may make the event useful for tracking how a title is being presented before a release or a new season. It does not mean that a specific reveal is confirmed. Any new dates, videos, or production details should be treated as official only when the relevant stage or title account publishes them.

The schedule is especially notable because the links are attached to individual sessions rather than only to a generic event channel. That reduces the risk of missing a short program during a two-day convention. It also leaves a clear record of which broadcasts the organizer intended to make accessible online, even though later availability can still change.

Context for International Fans

All times on the official notice are in Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9). The Saturday opening at 10:00 JST is 01:00 UTC on September 19, or 9:00 p.m. EDT and 6:00 p.m. PDT on September 18. The Saturday Witch on the Holy Night stage at 15:50 JST is 06:50 UTC, 2:50 a.m. EDT, and 11:50 p.m. PDT on September 18. On Sunday, the Magic Knight Rayearth stage at 12:50 JST is 03:50 UTC, 11:50 p.m. EDT on September 19, and 8:50 p.m. PDT on September 19.

The official announcement provides YouTube live URLs, but it does not state that every broadcast is guaranteed to be available in every country. It also does not specify whether each page will remain as a replay after the live slot ends. Viewers outside Japan should therefore open the linked YouTube page in advance, check the displayed local start time, and avoid treating a missing or region-limited replay as evidence that the event was cancelled.

Physical attendance is a separate matter. The event page lists the Kyoto venues and the fair’s September 19–20 hours, while the streaming notice is the relevant source for online access. Fans planning travel should use the official ticket, stage, and access pages rather than infer admission rules from the YouTube schedule.

What Happens Next

The next concrete checkpoint is the first stream on Saturday, September 19, at 10:00 JST. Before then, KYOMAF may update the schedule, add the missing Fate/Grand Order URL, or clarify how individual broadcasts will be handled after the live event. International viewers should bookmark the official notice, open the sessions they care about, and compare the YouTube countdown time with their own time zone.

During the weekend, the most reliable way to confirm a new detail is to watch the linked official stream or check a follow-up announcement from KYOMAF or the relevant production committee. The current notice establishes the timetable and access points; it does not yet confirm what each stage will reveal.

Information was checked on September 12, 2026, 6:23 AM JST.
