Hippo Kigurumi - Adult Costume

"Kigurumi" comes from a combination of two Japanese words: kiru ("to wear") and nuigurumi ("stuffed toy"). Traditionally, it referred specifically to the performers wearing the costume, but the word has since grown to include the costumes themselves. In Japan, Kigurumi costumes are worn as a way to break the conventions of traditional dress... or just as comfy pajamas!
