Happy Coming of Age Day 2025 From Around the Anime World, Part II

posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
Featuring Sonic, Pac-Man, JoJo's, Slam Dunk, Chibi Maruko-chan, Di Gi Charat, Subaru Kimura, Kappei Yamaguchi, & more!

As part of the Coming of Age ceremonies throughout Japan, young adults dress in formal hakama (ceremonial trousers), western-style suits, and kimono. But, to express their individuality, some young adult men dress as stereotypical delinquents with regent hairstyles and ride motorcycles. In turn, some women personalize their kimono and hair ornaments. Some new adults even cosplay as their favorite characters. It's flashy, fun, and a great way for everyone in Japan to enjoy the holiday. Let's look at the congratulatory greetings from across the anime and manga world to the new adults:
