Popular cosplayer Enako’s annual income “continues to rise” and reveals the reason behind her announcement that she has surpassed 100 million yen Popular cosplayer Enako appeared on Nippon Television’s “Another Sky” broadcast on the 23rd. He explained why he publicly declared his annual income to be over 100 million yen. On the show, Enako visits her hometown of Nagoya as well as Nishinomiya, Hyogo, the setting for her beloved anime, “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.” He went on a “pilgrimage” to the holy land dressed in cosplay as characters from the work. Also broadcast was a conversation between her and the talent Inui Yoko, also known as “Yokyun,” who is the president and manager of her agency. Regarding Enako’s annual income, which has exceeded 100 million yen for three consecutive years, Inui said, “I hold a report meeting about once a year. How much was his annual income? It’s fun because it keeps going up,” she said with a smile. He revealed that he had devised a meticulous strategy to promote Enako in order to establish cosplay as a profession, which had not been common until then. As her popularity grows, so does the amount of slander she receives, and Enako said, “I hate to lose, so I often get told mean things, but those kinds of people stop saying anything once you give them the numbers. It means I’m getting good results,” he said with a grin. “That’s why I became more and more obsessed with numbers,” he said, confessing that he has been making his annual income public to silence his haters. Also, when asked about the secret to his popularity, he answered frankly, “My fellow artists ask me, ‘How do you get the numbers?’ and ‘How do you become popular?’ but there really is no secret trick.” “It’s not like I sold this much because I did this job. It really felt like I was working one piece at a time, steadily and diligently,” he said.
I thought he might have made his income and expenditure report public, but it seems he’s just talking about his annual salary. I wonder how they make so much profit.
The art itself. Don’t do many different things. By doing only one thing, you can reach a different level. If you just focus on the stage and don’t act as a host, commentator, or entertainer, you’ll be on par with the Nakagawa family, Arita!
That’s amazing. If I can earn enough in a few years, I’ll be able to live a comfortable life. As long as I don’t let my desire for self-expression take an odd turn.
