Haikyuu Cosplay Resources: The (B)asics

When you watch Haikyuu, you might realize they all wear really similar clothing. This is because in most sports teams, parts of their uniforms are sponsored by brands and businesses; So they wear the brand logo on their chest and play sports, the brand sponsors their uniforms/gives the team money to pay for equipment, transportation, etc.

1- Shoes

Starting from the ground up, almost all the volleyball players in Haikyuu wear Asics brand volleyball shoes. Personally, I wouldn’t buy these to wear outside because they are indoor volleyball shoes and not meant to be worn on concrete but if you really want the same exact shoes as them for your photoshoot, these are as close as it gets. I recommend just getting a normal plain pair of sneakers though or one with a similar design that you can wear as normal sneakers though if you don’t care about it being absolutely exact.

2- Kneepads

Next, you want to get a pair of kneepads to go with all your Haikyuu cosplays but you’re not really sure which ones to ge. A lot of the kneepads that you’re going to find in-store at easily accessible stores like Walmart or Target are going to be REALLY bulky because they’re made for outdoor sports. You want to check for Kneepads specifically made for Volleyball. Asics also makes kneepads(shown below) and I have a hunch that they probably use those too (Karasuno’s uniforms are also sponsored by Asics). Their Kneepads are pretty much the same price as most other brands like Mizuno (who sponsor Aoba Johsai’s uniforms) but if you want a cheaper option, I would recommend browsing on Amazon or checking your local sports supply store.

3- Uniforms

Haikyuu has been around for a while so, lucky us, if you’re new to Haikyuu cosplay and you don’t know where to get started you have TONS of options. You can get most jersey sets in a large range of sizes on Ebay, Aliexpress, Amazon, Miccostumes, and many other sites. I personally recommend Ebay or Aliexpress because you will not pay more than $20~$25 for a pair of shorts and a jersey.

I do recommend that if you are doing a group cosplay, buy your cosplays from the same seller if you have that option because otherwise the colors might be off.

Hope this helps for reference or gives you guys some ideas!

Tri-State Haikyuu Project

Today I am launching a brand new instagram and Tumblr page under the title "Tri-State Haikyuu ". I have been a Haikyuu fan for approximately 7 and never had the confidence to cosplay from it because I didn't know anyone else who did and I wished for a very long time that I knew other Haikyuu cosplayers so we could cosplay together. Cut to a little over a year ago, I met my friend Wen. Wen and I met through another cosplay group and they invited me to be part of their Boku no Hero Academia panel at CPAC, it wasn't until after the panel though that I found out our mutual love of anime volleyball boys. This immediately pushed me to buy my first Haikyuu cosplay, Sugawara Koushi, that I wore to Anime North 2019 and I met several other fans of the anime and it pushed me to further seek cosplayers and fans who love this show and manga. The more I ingrain myself into this fandom, the more I hear others who share that same sentiment that I had before I met a Haikyuu cosplayer in person.

The idea behind this new initiative is to be a central hub of information for cosplayers and fans of Haikyuu who live in the states New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and the adjacent areas. Not only will I be sharing cosplayers who live in this area on the instagram, I will also use the page to take submissions (by email, dm, or Tumblr submission box) to highlight panels, photoshoots and meetups happening within those areas. This is widely based on the homestuck "NYCSTUCKS" page from times passed in which they had one single page where everyone wanting to find information could do so.

For Cosplayers who wish to be spotlighted:

1- Follow @ tri_state_haikyuu (yes, I will be checking to ensure everyone gets their fair turn)

2- Then tag the page on your post where you're in Haikyuu cosplay. Anywhere on the photo is fine, example ->

Casual cosplay is fine so long as the character is recognizable but I will ask that the camera quality is 1080p (so iPhone quality at least). Selfies are also okay and also tiktok videos!

For Event Organizers who wish for their event to be advertised on the page or recruit cosplayers via the page:

Please send a submission to the tri-state-haikyuu Tumblr OR email [email protected] using the following template:

Event Title (Event type) Organizers: @x, @y, etcOpen Recruitment: yes/no [omit this for a meetup or panel advertisement] (If yes) Characters Open: When: (event date and time (if currently available)) Where: Where is your event going to take place?

Description of event: A paragraph or so explaining what will be going on, why should people be interested in attending, etc. Pretty much give any information you want to pitch your event with.

Samples:

Sample 1: Meetup Haikyuu "End of the Summer Bash" (Meetup) Organizers: @faraohkay and @crysirisWhen: Saturday, August 24, 2019, initial meeting point 12:00-12:30pmWhere: Central Park, Bethesda Fountain [moving to an official spot after 12:30]

Description:

Sample 2: Paid PhotoshootTotally Not a Fake Karasuno Haikyuu (Photoshoot)Organizers: @ukai-san and @takeda-sensei Open Recruitment: Yes Characters Open: Daichi, Yamaguchi, Kinoshita (Karasuno Jacket is fine), Narita (Karasuno jacket is fine)When: July 22, 2025 (when quarantine finally ends) Where: Totally not a fake outdoor volleyball court, CT (near the totally not fake Kindaichi shopping centre)

Description: This is a canon volleyball uniform outfits only photoshoot, please only contact the organizers if you plan on cosplaying Karasuno's canon highschool volleyball uniforms. We will be hanging out a little bit before and after the photoshoot but from 12-1pm we will be holding a formal paid photoshoot so please dress and act accordingly. The photographer's fee is $25 per person so that is another expense to account for if you wish to attend and please bring money for food afterwards if you want to go to the Kindaichi shopping centre and buy onions with us. Each cosplayer is guaranteed 2 or more stand-alone professionally edited pictures as well as all the group shots. Please contact the organizers for more information.

[Please note that unless an event has my name(@faraohkay) as the organizer I am NOT the person to contact for more information on an event nor am I responsible for that event, I am simply giving the event a spotlight to assist the organizers. However, if I find out that there was any misconduct at an event that I shared, I will no longer be sharing events/panels/photoshoots or the cosplays of those organizers. This means bullying, racism, sexual harassment, etc.

I will also not share panels that are being held at conventions run by Ryan Kopf; This means Liberty City Anime Convention, Anime Midwest, AniMinneapolis, MetaCon, Anime-Zap and C+A+D. Please understand that even if you are fine with going to a Kopf convention, I personally do not wish to support and openly advertise an event run by a r*pist. Note: If you bar black and brown cosplayers from being panelists in your panels or in your photoshoots, please do not even bother submitting to me. This page is for ALL Haikyuu fans. Harassment in the comments will also result in you being blocked, the only game we're playing here is Volleyball.]

Lastly, this is suppose to be a fun page for everyone to make friends, be well informed and be part of the community so let's have fun guys!
