If you're looking for a mature, stylish, and highly recognizable cosplay from Persona 3 Reload, the Shinjiro Aragaki Cosplay Costume is one of the best choices available.

Unlike the school-uniform-inspired designs worn by many S.E.E.S members, Shinjiro's signature outfit features a long burgundy coat, black inner layers, and a casual streetwear aesthetic. The design perfectly reflects his quiet personality, troubled past, and strong presence throughout the story.

Whether you're attending Anime Expo, Comic Con, a Persona fan gathering, Halloween events, or planning a cosplay photoshoot, this guide covers everything you need to know before purchasing.

Character Profile

Shinjiro Aragaki is one of the original Persona users and a founding member of S.E.E.S alongside Mitsuru Kirijo and Akihiko Sanada.

As a child, Shinjiro grew up in the same orphanage as Akihiko. Although he later attended Gekkoukan High School, he rarely appeared in class and gradually distanced himself from others.

Two years before the events of Persona 3 Reload, Shinjiro accidentally caused the death of Ken Amada's mother when his Persona went out of control during a mission. Overwhelmed by guilt, he left S.E.E.S and began living a solitary life.

To suppress his Persona abilities, Shinjiro secretly traded with Strega in exchange for suppressants. These drugs helped dull both his powers and painful memories, but came with severe side effects. Carrying the burden of guilt, he slowly accepted the consequences of his actions.

In one of the most emotional moments of the game, Shinjiro sacrifices himself to protect Ken Amada, helping Ken let go of hatred and inspiring both Ken and Akihiko to face reality and move forward.

Even after his death, Shinjiro's presence remains important. During the final battle, his voice encourages the team one last time:

"Come on. Let's go."

His sacrifice and character development have made him one of the most respected and beloved characters in the Persona franchise.


Costume Details

Costume Design

The Persona 3 Reload Shinjiro Aragaki costume faithfully recreates his iconic everyday appearance.

  • Black inner shirt
  • Black trousers

  • Double-breasted front design

Size Buying Guide

How to Choose the Right Size

This costume follows a standard fit, but the fabric has very little stretch.

When viewing the product page, click:

Size Guide

The measurements shown are finished garment measurements rather than body measurements.

Before ordering, measure:

  • Height
  • Shoulder Width
  • Chest
  • Waist
  • Hips

using inches.


Size Example

MeasurementExample
Height69 in
Shoulder Width18 in
Chest43 in
Waist37 in
Hips41 in

For example, Men's L typically fits:

RequirementMen's L
Height69–71 in
Shoulder18–19 in
Chest42–44 in
Waist36–38 in
Hips44 in

In this case, Men's L would provide a comfortable fit with room for movement.


Important Sizing Notes

If your measurements fall between two sizes:

  • Choose the larger size
  • Especially if you plan to pose actively at conventions or photoshoots

Because the coat is intentionally loose-fitting, choosing one size larger will not significantly affect the overall silhouette.

Choosing a smaller size is generally not recommended, as it may reduce the coat's natural drape and relaxed appearance.


Custom Sizing Available

This costume supports:

Custom Size (+$29.99)

If only certain parts of the coat require adjustment, you can select custom sizing and specify detailed measurements during checkout.


Wearing Tips

For the most accurate Shinjiro appearance:

  1. Wear the black turtleneck shirt.
  2. Put on the black trousers.
  3. Wear the long burgundy coat.
  4. Fasten the coat buttons.
  5. Add the knit beanie.

The overall look should feel:

  • Simple
  • Relaxed
  • Quiet
  • Effortlessly cool

Avoid making the outfit look overly formal.
