TGS2025 Main Visual Revealed!
The main visual for TGS2025 expresses this year’s theme: “Unlimited, Neverending Playgrounds.” It was created by illustrator Zashiki Warashi. This main visual will appear in various places as a symbol of TGS2025, so please pay attention to it. In conjunction with the release of the main visual, an official video has also been created. Please watch it as well.
“I am truly happy to have received so many reactions to the teaser illustration. I’ve never had the experience of releasing a teaser and a main visual separately before, so receiving comments like “I’m looking forward to the main one too” was very new. As the main visual’s release draws near, I’m very much looking forward to it myself. Even my mother has been looking forward to the release. This visual incorporates many elements of games that I love. I drew it with a feeling of gratitude towards those involved in game production. I put my heart into it despite the pressure of such a prestigious event like TGS. I would be happy if visitors to TGS enjoy it even a little!”
About Zashiki Warashi
Born in Fukuoka Prefecture in 1987. Active primarily in commercial illustration, while also regularly holding original art exhibitions. Has published illustration collections “COLOR PALETTE” and “DANDELION” from Geijutsu Shinbunsha.

Global energy drink brand Red Bull has officially been named a platinum sponsor for Tokyo Game Show 2025.
Red Bull Energy Drink, known for the slogan “gives you wings,” contains caffeine, L-arginine (an amino acid), B-vitamins, and sugars (sucrose and glucose) derived from sugar beets.
It includes approximately 80mg of caffeine—about the same as a cup of drip coffee—and 11g of sugar per 100ml, similar to the sugar content in apple or orange juice.
From beginners to veteran players, Red Bull supports your gaming journey—from the first stage to the final boss.
Since 2015, Red Bull has hosted global gaming events such as:
Red Bull Kumite (Street Fighter tournament)
Red Bull Home Ground (VALORANT tournament, since 2021)
They also support notable players like Umehara, Bonchan, Gachikun, and teams including ZETA DIVISION.
Red Bull sampling will be available at the venue. Multiple Red Bull booths will be set up to energize attendees throughout the event.
A “Red Bull Creator Club” streaming lounge will also be featured, bringing together popular creators. Guests will stream live content from the lounge, blending the excitement of TGS with both on-site and online experiences.
Original stage programs are planned, starting with Red Bull 283 Academy, an initiative to spotlight rising Street Fighter 6 talent.
Additional large-scale programs with special guests are also in the works.
Details will be updated on redbull.com and via X (@RedBullGamingJP).
Suzuki Motor Corporation has decided to participate as a sponsor for TGS2025. At the venue, a special collaboration bike “GSX-8R Tuned by JURI” (not for sale) with the popular fighting game “Street Fighter 6” will be specially exhibited. This model is a one-of-a-kind, valuable machine specially customized with the image of the character “Juri” from the game and will appear at the TGS venue. This exhibition, where game and reality intersect, is a must-see for game fans.
