CURBON Inc. will hold the two-man exhibition 'Hokan' by Kuruma (Reiwa Roman) and Kaga Sho (Kagaya) from Friday, June 5 to Sunday, June 14, 2026, at encounter gallery (Myogadani, Tokyo).

This project is a collaborative photo exhibition born from the idea of "creating laughter with photographs," transcending the boundaries of comedy duos. Kuruma of Reiwa Roman handled the planning, and Kaga Sho of Kagaya was in charge of photography. Furthermore, both also appear as performers in the works.

The theme is "Hokan" (Complement/Supplement).
The venue will feature a series of works where Kuruma, disguised as a character in white overalls, runs around the city, chased and photographed by Kaga. In addition, images of the two captured by photographer Hirokazu Takei, and Kaga photographing Kuruma, will also be exhibited. The entire exhibition is structured to allow visitors to enjoy not only the works but also the relationship between the two.

In this exhibition, all tickets come with audio content that can be played on a smartphone. Visitors can enjoy a deeper understanding of the meaning of "Hokan" and the works by listening to the commentary by the two while appreciating the exhibition.

*Visitors need to bring their own audio playback devices (smartphones, etc.) and earphones/headphones.

Goods and photo works will be available for sale at the venue. Furthermore, on Sunday, June 14, a gallery tour event will be held where visitors can enjoy the works while listening to a "live" talk by Kuruma and Kaga. This event is limited to 15 people per session, and only those selected by lottery can participate (paid).

Who is the man in white overalls?
