ONIGIRI Plus is Japan’s first company specialising in cosplays and boasts a total of over 1,000 registered users around the world. With a mission to further develop Japan’s cosplay culture, the company appeals to the glamour of cosplays and, utilising means including B2B cosplayer casting, excels at planning and accomplishing promotions and special events for better synergy with other industries and local municipalities.
Being fully committed to the ultimate mission to further develop Japan’s cosplay culture, in addition to planning and organising domestic and overseas cosplay events, ONIGIRI Plus also participates in cosplay casting, which was subjected to difficulties in business-matching due to copyright issues arising from cosplays with themes originating from certain animations and games in the past, and cosplay promotions targeting various industries.
