Overview
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang appeared at an Akihabara event venue on July 15, 2026. Huang's visit traces back to NVIDIA's early days, when the company failed to deliver a new game console project for Sega; then-Sega president Shoichiro Irimajiri provided additional investment that saved the company. The event marked 30 years of that partnership.
A crowd gathered after NVIDIA announced the visit on X (formerly Twitter), causing heavy congestion at the venue.
