WEB Animate Announces Closure of KyoaniDoShop Physical Store

Notice on The Closure of KyoaniDoShop Physical Store

WEB animate, a leading anime merchandise retailer in Japan, has announced the closure of its KyoaniDoShop physical store. KyoaniDoShop was known for its wide selection of anime-related character products, books, magazines, and Blu-rays.

WEB Animate's Kyoani Shop

WEB Animate was founded in 1983 and has since become one of the most popular anime and manga retailers in Japan. The company operates over 40 stores across the country, including the flagship KyoaniDoShop in Akihabara, Tokyo.

In a statement on its website, WEB Animate said that the decision to close KyoaniDoShop was made "after much deliberation". The company said that it will continue to operate its other stores and its online store.

The closure of KyoaniDoShop is a significant loss for anime fans in Japan. The store was a popular destination for fans of Kyoto Animation, the anime studio behind popular series such as "K-On!" and "Violet Evergarden".

WEB Animate has not announced a specific date for the closure of KyoaniDoShop. The store will remain open until further notice.
