Why Choose KIYOI?

  • Genuine Shoaizome indigo dye
    Dyed with genuine Shoaizome for a beautiful, traditional appearance and authentic Kendo feel.
  • Extremely lightweight and comfortable
    Designed for Kendoka who want a genuine Aizome uniform without the heavy feel of traditional thick cotton options.
  • Fast drying Kirari-zashi Kendogi
    The special Kirari-zashi weave helps make the Kendogi soft, comfortable, and quick drying after practice.
  • Keiryo Hakama with Pleat-Lock+
    The lightweight Hakama features our updated Pleat-Lock+ stitching, helping the pleats stay in place and fall correctly when worn.
  • Smart, traditional appearance
    KIYOI gives the refined look of an Aizome Kendo uniform, while still being practical for regular use.

Kirari-zashi Kendogi

The single layer KIYOI Kirari-zashi Kendogi is made using a special Kirari-zashi weave. This makes the Kendogi extremely soft and comfortable, while also helping sweat evaporate more easily, meaning it dries very quickly after training.

Keiryo Hakama with Pleat-Lock+

The KIYOI Keiryo Hakama is another KendoStar innovation. It is lightweight, smart, and practical, featuring our new Pleat-Lock+ stitching. This builds on the pleat saving features of our original Pleat-Lock design, with an additional feature that helps keep the pleats in place at the top of the Hakama, so they fall correctly when worn.

What is Included?

This set includes 1 x KIYOI Shoaizome Kirari-zashi Kendogi and 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 uniform that feels light, comfortable, and easy to wear during regular practice.

Traditional Look, Modern Comfort

This set gives you the traditional appearance of genuine indigo dyed Kendo wear, while offering a lighter and more comfortable feel than many heavier uniform options.

Customer photo review of NEW AND IMPROVED - 'KIYOI' - Seiaizome KIRARI-ZASHI Kendogi & KEIRYO Hakama Uniform Set

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.

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.

NEW AND IMPROVED - 'KIYOI' - Seiaizome KIRARI-ZASHI Kendogi & KEIRYO Hakama Uniform Set

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

Great products and great customer service First shopping experience with KS and everything was perfect. From the product quality to the level of customer service (Joseph was extremely prompt to answer my numerous questions). Very fast delivery too in France (48h from the moment and i placed the order). Everything was packed with great care. As mentioned by Joseph, expect a 1-2 cm shrinkage on both pieces when considering the size you choose.
