Enako revealed that she has earned 100 million yen (US$876,885) so far in 2021, doubling her income from 2020–and that’s before the 1st Comiket in 2 years in December where the top cosplayer historically earned 10 million yen (US$87,660) per event.
Enako claims that she only spends 5 million yen (US$43,833) per year, and most of that just goes to video games.
And frankly, by the news she’s doubled her income this year, it seems the strategy is paying off for her.
