Karate gi, commonly known as a kimono, is a unique uniform for karate practice and competition. It consists of three parts: UWA‑GI (the jacket), ZUBON (the pants), and OBI (a long belt wrapped twice around the jacket). Most gi are made of bleached or natural cotton. The uniform is very simple and practical, ensuring free and comfortable movement. It has no pockets, buttons, zippers, or any other sewn ornaments or accessories.
