During Tokyo Game Show 2026, Street Fighter 6 surprised fans with an unexpected and exciting collaboration. Capcom’s long-running fighting game is teaming up with Toei Animation’s popular anime series Star Detective Precure.

What Does the Collaboration Include

The announcement came via Toei Animation’s official social media channels. Capcom and Toei are partnering for a special four-part story exclusive to Street Fighter 6’s Battle Hub mode. In these episodes, playable characters like Luke, Jamie, and Kimberley will appear in the latest Precure anime art style. No further details were shared about the storylines or whether Street Fighter characters will directly interact with the Star Detective Precure cast.

When Does It Start

The Street Fighter 6 and Star Detective Precure crossover is set to begin on December 17, 2026. Star Detective Precure is the 2026 season of the long-running Precure anime, making this collaboration perfectly timed with an already popular series.

Street Fighter 6’s Collaboration Legacy

This marks the latest chapter in Street Fighter 6’s tradition of high-profile collaborations. On November 30, 2025, the game celebrated Call of Duty: Mobile’s 6th anniversary by bringing Luke, Ryu, Chun-Li, Cammy, and Akuma/Gouki as playable guest characters to its 11th season. Their costumes arrived on December 11, with themed weapons following on December 13. Back in October 2023, Street Fighter 6 also held an avatar creation contest to mark the game’s third anniversary.

2026: A Landmark Year for the Franchise

This collaboration is part of a packed year for the Street Fighter brand. The live-action Street Fighter movie starring Jason Momoa hits theaters on October 16, 2026, focusing on Ryu and Ken’s journey through the World Warriors Tournament. Meanwhile, as of June 2026, the game itself has sold 7 million copies worldwide. Both in gaming and on the big screen, Street Fighter is set to finish 2026 on a high note.
