One way to enjoy Japanese anime even more is to dress up as your favorite character. Japanese online stores offer a wide variety of costumes for events, photo shoots and Halloween. Here are five popular character cosplay costumes worth checking out when shopping from overseas.

Check the Size and Set Contents When Ordering Overseas
Cosplay costume measurements and included accessories can vary even when the labeled size is the same. When ordering from overseas, check measurements such as height, chest and waist, as well as whether the wig, shoes and accessories are included. If you need the costume for a specific event, checking the estimated shipping date before ordering is also important.
