The Australian star looked dapper in an ash-grey suit as he posed for photographers at the event.
Sporting a smattering of designer stubble, the actor matched his suit with a black T-shirt and a pair of black leather boots.
Hugh looked excited to be giving back to his Japanese fans with the star offering a cool ‘finger pointing’ gesture at one point during the event.
Arriving in Japan on Tuesday, with wife Deborra-Lee Furness, to continue the global press tour for Logan, Hugh received a welcome fit for a superhero when he touched down at Narita International Airport, with hundreds of fans turning out to meet the star.
It was the same situation on Wednesday, when he was mobbed by a legion of fans at Logan’s Tokyo premiere.
While he has played the iconic Wolverine character for 17 years across eight films, Hugh recently admitted that he didn’t know what a wolverine was when he first signed on for the role.
‘I didn’t even know there was a wolverine, ‘ Hugh told Associated Press . ‘I literally, embarrassingly did about two weeks of research on wolves.’
Hugh has a special place in the hearts of Japanese fans, given that his 2013 X-Men spin-off The Wolverine was filmed there.
Logan, which will be the last time that Hugh will don the trademark claws and winged hairdo has been doing big business for the star, with the film raking in more than $88 million on its US opening weekend.
Hugh will next be seen on the big screen as legendary circus impresario P. T Barnum in The Greatest Showman, alongside Zac Efron and Michelle Williams.
