What makes COSPATIO so popular?

Cosplayers in Japan all agree: if you want to buy a quality costume that has been officially approved by the anime production companies, go to COSPATIO. Considering the comfort and ease of handling for the person wearing the costume, COSPATIO is very particular about high-quality fabrics, precise sewing, and details. Their biggest goal is to recreate the look of the original anime, manga, or game.

Look at these cute cosplay costumes! Luckily, their size range is rather wide.

COSPATIO’s costume line-up, sorted by anime.

The store offer costumes of popular anime and manga, such as “Kakegurui”, “Girls & Panzer” and “Cardcaptor Sakura”.

When designing new costumes, COSPATIO always tries to get as close to the texture of the clothes in the original show as they can. Their goal is to make their costumes match the worldview of the anime. This high reproducibility is the reason why many cosplayers yearn for COSPATIO costumes.

Since the anime “Kakegurui” is set at a high school for the rich, students wear high-class uniforms. Therefore, the blazer of this cosplay costume is made of high-quality thick fabric.

Even invisible parts of the costumes are designed to be as close to the original as possible.

The secret of COSPATIO’s popularity is the faithful reproduction of the original design, for example, including a frilled lining under a skirt, a sleeveless blouse, and other details of which you might only get a glimpse of in the original series.

A broad lineup of cosplay support products

In addition to costumes, COSPATIO also offers a wide range of cosplay support products. These items will help you to get a more accurate, beautiful result. The lineup includes items such as wigs, cosmetics, eyebrow colors, false eyelashes, colored contact lenses, ribbons, and socks used for school uniform costumes. You could buy those items on their own in different shops, but here you have everything in one place. Convenient, right?
