Cosplay holds immense significance in the realm of anime and gaming, attracting numerous fans who utilize it as a medium to fervently exhibit their adoration for characters or series. Although countless cosplayers rely on their own resourcefulness to create costumes using reference photos, an official cosplay pattern for a beloved character, the Protagonist from Persona 5 Royal, has been recently released. This pattern, provided by First Stop Cosplay, simplifies the costume-making process and accommodates even novice cosplayers.

Licensed in collaboration with ATLUS, the esteemed company responsible for Persona 5, as well as various other renowned JRPG titles like Shin Megami Tensei, this cosplay pattern signifies a significant milestone for the hobby. While anime and gaming studios typically embrace and support cosplayers who craft their own costumes, often acknowledging their efforts through official contests or credits, having a company officially produce a cosplay pattern is indeed a noteworthy recognition.

Founded in 2019 by Amanda "Mari" Gregory at the young age of 15, First Stop Cosplay aims to empower cosplayers, whether new or experienced, with the necessary skills to create their own cosplays. Our patterns are accompanied by comprehensive and easily understandable instructions, as well as updated sizing options.

In addition, our paper is designed to be reusable and durable, allowing for multiple uses. It is worth noting that cosplay patterns are often scarce, even in Japan. Thus, it is a great accomplishment for First Stop Cosplay to have obtained official licensing from the parent company of the series for our product.

The cosplay is for the Protagonist from Persona 5 Royal, the latest installment in the Persona 5 franchise. Persona 5, originally released in 2016, gained significant popularity, spawning four spin-off games and an anime series. Persona 5 Royal, launched in 2017, introduced two new characters and expanded on the original game's storyline.

The game received numerous awards and had even more nominations. It only lost the title of "Best Role-Playing Game of the Year" to Final Fantasy VII: Remake. Reviews for Persona 5 Royal were even better than those for the original game.

Each character in Persona 5 has two distinct versions: one in modern Tokyo in the "real world," and one in the Metaverse as their "persona" version. The main playable character, known as the Protagonist, is voiceless and can be named by the player. When in the real world, he is referred to by this title. The cosplay featured is based on his real world version, specifically his school uniform from Shujin Academy. This choice makes it slightly easier for less experienced cosplayers, but still easily recognizable.

The Protagonist cosplay pattern from Persona 5 Royal was released for sale on September 2nd on the First Stop Cosplay website. Additionally, it will be available for purchase in person this weekend at ANIME Impulse in Anaheim, California, at First Stop Cosplay's booth. It is expected that the pattern will remain available for sale at First Stop Cosplay's booths throughout the convention season in the US. The difficulty rating for this pattern is 3.5 out of 5 stars, and it is offered in men's sizes. The pattern is fully in English, and customers have the option to purchase the complete set or select specific pieces such as the jacket or pants.
