Can You Become That Character in Akihabara? CosPatio G-Store Akiba - A Shop Offering Official Cosplay [Shun Gori's Akiba Exploration Vol. 3
In the third installment of Shun Gori's Akiba Exploration, we visited the CosPatio G-Store Akiba store, just in time for the Winter Comic.
The CosPatio G-Store Akiba reopened on November 28, 2020 on the 4th floor of Onoden's main store, a 3-minute walk from Akihabara Station. The bright and open store interior makes it easy to enter for cosplay beginners and those who want to buy costumes of their favorite characters as official goods even if they do not cosplay.
The store's selection of costumes in the store are all officially licensed products. The lineup ranges from full-fledged costumes made of carefully selected materials and comfort, to costume sets that make it easy to enjoy cosplay with just one set, to parts that are difficult for beginners to reproduce, such as elf ears and ornaments, and makeup products recommended for cosplay as well.
Among such a wide selection of products, "COSPATIO" is one of the leading official costume brands in Japan, reproducing as much as possible the colors and shapes as in the setting of the work, and even calculating the pleats of the skirt and the placement of the fabric when worn to ensure that the same pattern as in the play is reproduced! The skirt is so meticulously made that the same pattern as in the play is reproduced. Because of the attention to detail, there are cosplayers as well as customers who buy costumes for their favorite characters as collectors' items.
For the popular anime "Licorice Recoil," which just aired as a summer 2022 anime, the company began developing costumes from the planning stage of the work and started taking orders as soon as the broadcast began, and is vigorously developing costumes. Licensed cosplay costumes are already scheduled to go on sale in the near future.
The sales floor is designed with the hottest titles of the time in mind, and there are staff members who are knowledgeable about cosplay, anime, and characters, so feel free to ask them about costumes, makeup, and props.
The shop is so much fun that Shun Gori, who was a cosplayer 25 years ago, forgot about the interview and talked with the store staff while looking at the various products lined up in the store. Whether you are an active cosplayer, someone who is not interested in cosplay, or someone who is interested but can't get started, why not visit the store and see for yourself?
In the third installment of Shungori's Akiba Exploration, we introduced you to CosPatio G Store Akiba. Winter Comic, One Festival, and other cosplay events will be starting soon, so be sure to visit there when you are in Akihabara.
We will keep adding more and more Akiba information, so please look forward to it!
YouTuber Shun Gori's activities can also be seen on YouTube.
