Chūōmachi Tactical Craft, whose main concepts are “technology” and “character design,” produces a wide range of innovative accessories that break traditional conventions. Using acrylic sheets as the primary material, they create small items and accessories resembling game controllers. At TGS 2025, their booth focused on selling these distinctive products.

Most of the products are primarily made from acrylic. Acrylic sheets cut into geometric shapes are heated and bent, then secured with cable ties. Decorations are added using existing parts and materials, while patterns and text are applied via laser printing. Although most items are handmade, despite differing materials, they aim for a “leathercraft-like” feel in their craftsmanship.
While many of these items can be worn or used practically, the design and originality take priority over comfort and durability during development.
