What is Included?
This product includes 1 x KIYOI Shoaizome Keiryo Kendo Hakama.
Important Aizome Care Note
Because KIYOI is dyed with genuine Aizome, the colour will bleed. The indigo dye may rub off or stain objects, other clothing, and the wearer’s body. This is a normal and natural feature of genuine Aizome Kendo uniforms.
Please take care when washing. We recommend hand washing separately in cold water, without soap or detergent.
Ideal for Regular Keiko
KIYOI is especially useful for Kendoka who want a genuine Shoaizome Hakama that feels light, comfortable, and easy to wear during regular practice.
Great for Hot Weather and Seminars
The lightweight construction makes KIYOI a strong choice for warm Dojo, summer Keiko, seminars, and situations where you need a Hakama that is comfortable over repeated practice sessions.

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 69 reviews.
Needed a new hakama for a competition in Japan, and this one has received rave reviews from the seniors at my dojo. Easy to see why: it’s the perfect weight, looks fantastic, and the fully sewn in pleats will keep its sharp appearance long-term. Another great product from Kendostar!
Fabulous quality and value getting used to wearing the Hakama and Kendogi very comfortable. Brilliant YouTube videos so informative.
Thank you for helping in my new Kendo journey.
I was seeking a new uniform, specifically one of superior quality yet within a reasonable price range. This uniform has fully met my expectations. I have utilized it for multiple keiko sessions and am thoroughly satisfied with both its aesthetic and tactile qualities.
Beyond the product's quality, the customer service experience was notably exceptional. I contacted them with specific inquiries and requests for recommendations. I was provided with several options, complete with detailed explanations, including pros and distinctions between various grades. Furthermore, shipping was seamless. Despite my residence in a rural area of the USA, I received the product within a week without any complications.
Fast delivery, hakama has this lock pleats from top to bottom on every pleat. Feels soft and its color almost match with the kendogi also. Feels light and the aisome blue is incredible. Could be used for shinsa if is its first wearing.
Bought for an upcoming grading and very pleased with my purchase. The Kendo-gi is super soft and I can move about freely, not as restrictive as I've found other, thicker cotton Kendo-gi. Hakama is great, pleat lock stitching keeps it looking good, and overall it fits really nice, probably the best fitted uniform I've ever bought.
Fantastic hakama! Nice and light, looks great, and the fully sewn in pleats will keep it looking great long-term. Another fantastic product from Kendostar.
Lovely hakama and am excited for seeing how well it retains it's pleats given the pleat lock.
Initially I thought it was oversized, however, on research it seems cotton hakama will shrink by a few % over time.
Why does it not surprise me that Kendostar has paid this much attention to detail with the design of it's products. After a wash or two, I suspect it will be a perfect fit.
The quality of the gi and hakama is superb. Everything is solidly put together and can stand up to strenuous use, yet it's also very comfortable to wear. While I can't speak to high-level testing, the Kiyoi set seems useable for everyday practice, competition, and testing. And KendoStar's shipping was super fast.
Stoff von Gi und Hakama fühlen sich gut an. Gi ist super leicht, die Falten de Hakama fallen dank der Naht schön und machen es beim zusammenlegen auch leichter sie zu finden.
I’m extremely impressed with the quality. The fabric feels durable yet comfortable, perfect for rigorous practice. The stitching is neat and strong, giving the garments a premium finish. The Hakama pleats hold their shape well, even after extended use, which makes maintenance easy.
Dear Andy,
the items arrived in time. I obviously tried them on at once, they are perfect and comfortable. I have already known this type of gi, because I ordered one of the same brand a few years ago. So I asked that kind on purpose.
I chose this hakama because of the extra sewing along the foldings. I will put the hakama away for special occasions when I have to look good.
The tsuba and dome are ok.
I am convinced that I will enjoy every minit when I am going to wear my new garment.
Thank you very much and best wishes,
Árpi
It’s a beautiful and cozy hakama. I have no idea how to improve it!
I’m 1,87m and bought the size 27 one. I’d say a smaller size with my height would also work but I prefer my hakama to be on the longer side.
Great allaround experience. The kendogi is beautiful, shipping was especially fast considering it was international and the price is very fair! I won’t hesitate to order at kendostar in the future!
This hakama is a great balance between weight and comfort. It is solid enough that it hangs nicely and holds its pleats well, but it doesn't feel cumbersome. If you want a hakama that will look great for formal occasions like grading but will also work great for standard practice, this is a fantastic choice.
Well, I love the material. It’s beautiful but the kendogi Did not fit I guess I’ll have to lose some weight to get into that. Maybe 100 pounds. However you guys contact me to do a special order and I’ve submitted the measurements and we’ll see how that goes. Other than that life great
