Yuruket Vol.26 — Tokyo’s Adults-Only Cosplay & Doujin Market

November 14, 2026 | Asakusabashi, Tokyo | Ages 18+

Discover a more intimate side of Japan’s independent cosplay and adult creator scene at Yuruket Vol.26 (ゆるケット), an adults-only doujin market bringing together independent creators, cosplayers, photographers, and specialty circles for an afternoon of unique releases and fan interactions.

Taking place across two floors of Tokyo Bun具 Kyowa Kaikan in Asakusabashi, Yuruket offers an opportunity to browse original works, discover independent talent, and support creators directly.

Unlike Japan’s enormous doujin conventions, Yuruket emphasizes a smaller-scale gathering of participating circles, making it an appealing destination for visitors interested in exploring a different side of Tokyo’s cosplay and fan culture.

What to Expect

Yuruket brings together a curated selection of independent circles, with participating exhibitors offering works that may include cosplay photography collections, photo books, original doujin publications, and adult-oriented creative content.

Visitors can explore the booths on both floors, discover new artists and performers, and purchase works directly from participating circles.

Both floors also feature designated photography spaces. However, photography requires permission, and visitors must follow the event’s strict privacy and photography policies.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of Japanese cosplay culture or simply curious about Tokyo’s independent adult creator community, Yuruket offers a chance to discover artists and releases you may not encounter through mainstream retail.

Event Information

Important: All attendees must provide acceptable proof of age at reception. International visitors should bring their original passport. Photocopies are not accepted.
