Collectibles and Fandom

Collectors and fandom culture play a crucial role in consumer behavior in Tokyo. Fans seek limited-edition merchandise, figures, and memorabilia, driving demand. Events like Comiket, the world’s largest doujinshi (self-published manga) fair held biannually, attract fans and collectors, facilitating the buying, selling, and trading of unique creations. This behavior supports niche markets, boosts local economies, and fosters a community of dedicated consumers who consistently support pop culture-related businesses.
