TAPPEI is an artist who contributed visuals to the Ultraman Series' 60th-anniversary collaboration event at Ikebukuro PARCO. The event, called "ULTRA SUMMER in IKEBUKURO," runs from July 3 to July 16, 2026, and includes a pop-up shop with artist-designed goods, a lottery for limited-edition items such as a Bullmark Ultraman Zero figure in a special color, and a live T-shirt printing demonstration. TAPPEI's visuals are part of the event's promotional material.
The two Yomimono stories about TAPPEI are separate. One covers the Ultraman event, and the other is a clip from Re:Zero season 4 that does not mention TAPPEI. The Re:Zero story credits Tappei Nagatsuki as the author of the novels the season adapts, but that is a different person. The dossier has no information about TAPPEI's other work, background, or career beyond the Ultraman collaboration.

Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4 released the preview for Episode 15, which is Episode 81 overall, on September 1, one day before the episode airs in Japan on September 2. The episode, titled 'Hitoisu na Hoshi' (A Single-Minded Star), continues the second cour of Season 4, the Recapture Arc, which began on August 12 after the first 11-episode Loss Arc opened on April 8. WHITE FOX is animating, with Masahiro Shinohara directing and Tappei Nagatsuki as scenario supervisor.
The preview material shows Reid Astrea roaming the Pleiades Watchtower rather than staying in the second-floor examination hall, because Reid's soul has taken over the body of the remaining Gluttony, Roy Alphard. Subaru faces five obstacles: a stampede of magical beasts, two archbishops of sin, a giant scorpion, and a pitch-black shadow. After Returning by Death, he presses Shaula on the rules of the trial she holds, beginning the trial-and-error process to conquer the tower.
The release also includes preview stills for mini-anime Episode 81, 'Waga Banzai,' which shows Priscilla's group returning to their southern territory. The franchise has surpassed 16 million copies in worldwide circulation and celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2026, with an exhibition running September 12 to October 4 at Shibuya BEAM Gallery.
