Yokai

The Yokai Gi from Yuno Jiu-Jitsu Co. is built around a single idea: wear the story. In Japanese folklore, “yōkai” (妖怪) refers to mysterious supernatural beings—spirits and strange forces that live at the edges of the known world — a tradition that goes back centuries in Japanese storytelling, from regional legends to classic art.

This gi takes that mythology and translates it into a modern, high-performance build—meticulously designed, carefully crafted, and obsessed over down to the smallest stitch. Every panel feels intentional. Every line of artwork has purpose.

Built like a collector’s piece—made to be trained in

The Yokai Gi is loaded with extensive embroidery throughout, executed with precision you usually only see on premium, limited-run pieces. From jacket details to pant accents, the stitching isn’t just decoration—it’s identity. Clean placement, tight thread work, and layered textures make the design stand out without feeling loud or messy.

Komainu guardians—stitched into the armor

At the heart of the Yokai Gi is the Komainu artwork—the iconic lion-dog guardians traditionally seen at the entrance of shrines and sacred spaces. They symbolize protection, strength, and unwavering presence—exactly the energy you want stepping onto the mats. 

The result is a gi that feels like ceremonial armor, but performs like a daily driver—built to handle hard rounds while looking like it belongs in a display case.

The Yokai Gi: folklore in thread, guardians on your side, and craftsmanship you can feel every time you tie your belt.
