On sale in Japan until Tue 10 Nov
BEAMS has put out its first Cowboy Bebop collection under BEAMS MANGART, the BEAMS project for work with manga, anime and games. It marks 25 years of the film Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door, which came out in Japan in September 2001, and BEAMS says it arrives with the film's 4K remaster release.
The artwork is by art director Tetsuya Nagato, who built it as a collage of scenes, characters and motifs from the series. BEAMS says the idea is that it works for long-time fans and for people who haven't seen the show. The pieces are two T-shirt designs at 7,700 yen each in white or black, a white long-sleeve T-shirt at 9,900 yen, and two hoodies at 16,500 yen each, one black and one white. Clothes come in M, L and XL. There's also a bandana at 5,500 yen, a throw blanket at 16,500 yen and a skate deck at 22,000 yen, which is made to order.
It's on sale from 30 October to Tuesday 10 November 2026 at BEAMS CULTUART Takanawa in Tokyo and on the BEAMS online shop in Japan. BEAMS lists no other stores, and hasn't announced a release outside Japan.
Cowboy Bebop first aired as a TV series in 1998. Shinichiro Watanabe directed it, with music by Yoko Kanno, and it follows bounty hunters Spike and Jet, gambler Faye, hacker Ed and the data dog Ein across the solar system. The film is set between episodes 22 and 23 and takes the crew to Mars.
