The Kurama - 6mm Deluxe Pitch Orizashi Kendo Kote tend to run a bit small. For this reason we recommend choosing one size up from what the size chart shows. 

Designed with protection first and foremost in mind, the Kurama Kote utilizes a generously stuffed 6mm pitch-stitched Futon that has great shock absorption. The wrist is also flexible and the head of the Kote features Yoroi-gata braids that make it easy and comfortable to grip the shinai. The qualities of comfort and protection make this a fantastic investment for any Kendoka.
