Takahashi said it took a few years for the term to go green arrow suit mainstream in Japan. Nobuyuki Takahashi coined the term in the June 1983 issue of a Japanese publication featuring young people wearing super hero costumes. It used to be that only a select niche of people made a hobby of dressing in costume and attending conventions or festivals. The G2 Esports founder wore the costume to promote their Star Guardian collab with Riot Games.
