Tokyodo KB-10 – Technical Specifications

Material – Heavyweight 100% Japanese Cotton Canvas

The Tokyodo KB-10 Black Cotton Ninjutsugi is manufactured using traditional No. 10 heavyweight cotton canvas (10号帆布).

This substantial cotton fabric is valued for its durability, firm structure, and traditional appearance.

Unlike lightweight martial arts uniforms, heavyweight No. 10 canvas provides a thicker and more structured fabric while allowing the body to move naturally during training.

Its sturdy construction makes the Tokyodo KB-10 particularly suitable for practitioners who prefer a traditional Japanese martial arts uniform designed for regular use.

Advantages of Heavyweight No. 10 Cotton Canvas

• Traditional Structure: Thick cotton construction offers a firm, structured appearance.
• Natural Cotton Comfort: 100% cotton provides the characteristic feel of traditional Japanese martial arts clothing.
• Long-Term Training: A substantial uniform suitable for practitioners who prefer heavier training garments.

Traditional Black Ninjutsu Gi Design

The Tokyodo KB-10 Black Cotton Uniform features a traditional Japanese martial arts design consisting of a training jacket and matching trousers.

Its classic wrap-around jacket and comfortable martial arts cut allow practitioners to perform a wide range of traditional movements.

The heavyweight cotton construction creates a structured silhouette, while the understated black appearance makes this uniform particularly appealing to practitioners of Ninjutsu and Japanese Budō.

The KB-10 is a modern martial arts training uniform and should not be confused with the historical or theatrical representations of traditional ninja clothing known as Shinobi Shōzoku (忍び装束).

Tokyodo KB-10 vs. KB-11 – What Is the Difference?

Tokyodo International offers different cotton canvas weights for its traditional black martial arts uniforms.
