Meet HamiKuma and HamiKuma Soul at Halloween Horror Nights 2025 in Universal Studios Japan.
HamiKuma and HamiKuma Soul Meet and Greets
The bears meet separately at 42nd Street Studio from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. HamiKuma is in front of a colorful backdrop with “Death” scrawled over and over again. According to the HHN lore, the bear was once a circus act but was killed by his jealous co-workers. In the afterlife, he was possessed by the demon Death Bringer and returned to the surface world.
Unfortunately, HamiKuma’s Soul was left behind. HamiKuma Soul is a white version of the bear with his wounds stitched up, but one eye still dangling out of his face. He wears a feathery collar and silver crown. At the meet and greet, he’s in front of a cloudy pastel backdrop.
The bears will meet from September 5 through November 3, the duration of Halloween Horror Nights 2025 at Universal Studios Japan. Guests can take home the photos from their meet and greets in a keepsake folder.
Guests can enjoy more HamiKuma, including the new HamiKuma Candy character, during HamiKuma’s Sweet Scream Party in Gramercy Park.
HamiKuma will appear at other Universal parks this Halloween season.
