Dakimakura SKU Guide: Identify the Right Cover Design

Published by Dakimakura Store · Published October 2, 2026

You remember the character, but the search results show several covers with that name. Which one was the design you wanted? A dakimakura SKU gives you a more precise reference than a character name alone. It helps you return to a particular listing, compare it with another design, and explain your choice when an order form asks for a product code.

The useful habit is to keep the code and the product link together. Then record your size and fabric separately. This guide explains that process using current DakimakuraStore listings, including the difference between a catalog cover’s own SKU and the “Enter Sku” field on a specialized custom product.

Start with the SKU shown on the exact product page

SKU stands for stock keeping unit: a reference used to identify a product. For shopping purposes, think of it as the listing’s identifier. It is more specific than “a Ran Mouri cover,” which describes a character rather than one particular item.

For example, the Ran Mouri cover with product code MNTB16049 displays MNTB16049 as its SKU. That is a concrete reference you can save alongside its page. The code does not, by itself, describe every choice you might make on that page.

Copy the value from the product’s SKU information instead of reconstructing it from memory. Preserve letters, numbers, spaces, and any suffix exactly as displayed. If you are comparing similar names, open each candidate in its own tab and record its code before deciding which one to keep.

A photograph, filename, or search-result snippet can help you find a candidate, but it is not the final check. Open the product page, compare the illustrated sides with the design you intended, and confirm the SKU there. A remembered thumbnail should lead you to a listing, not replace that verification.

Keep the design reference separate from your selections

Finding the right code settles which listing you are considering. It does not settle the size, material, or optional additions. On the MNTB16049 page, the current size menu includes 120 × 40, 150 × 50, 160 × 50, and 180 × 60 cm. Its fabric choices include Peach Skin, Natural Velvet, Two Way Tricot, and Upgraded Two Way Tricot.

Two shoppers could therefore save the same product code while intending different purchases. One may select 150 × 50 cm in Peach Skin; another may select 160 × 50 cm in Two Way Tricot. Writing only the SKU would leave out those decisions.

Read every selector before checking the total. A starting price describes the starting offer on a listing, while size, material, and other choices may change the configured amount. Saving a code is useful for comparison, but compare prices only after completing equivalent selections.

Use the preview to confirm that the code matches your idea

The code is a locator; the artwork is what you are choosing. Once you have found the listing, inspect both illustrated sides. Check the outfit, expression, background, and whether the reverse shows the same character or another one. A similar face in the thumbnail can conceal a different pairing.

If you are choosing between two designs, give each a short visual note alongside its code. For example, write “same outfit on both sides” or “different reverse-side character” only after verifying the preview. This makes the choice understandable when you return to your tabs later.

The guide to reading dakimakura product photos explains what previews can establish. In particular, an artwork image does not settle the physical construction or prove that an insert is included. Confirm those details in the listing and your selections.

Understand the two codes on a SKU-based custom order

The custom cover collection includes products with different input methods. This matters when you have found a catalog design and want to explore a specialized construction rather than simply buying that catalog listing.

The custom apart-legs or zipper cover form has its own product SKU, CSAZ. Separately, it has a required field labeled “Enter Sku.” These are two different references: CSAZ identifies the custom product you are configuring; the field is where you supply the SKU reference for your intended design.

Do not automatically copy CSAZ into that input just because it appears on the same page. Identify the source design first and retain its exact product link. If the page does not make clear whether your chosen design can be used for the construction you want, ask the store using that code and link before placing the order.

The current form also requires a Type selection between Apart Legs and Zipper. It offers 150 × 50, 160 × 50, and 180 × 60 cm sizes, with Two Way Tricot or Upgraded Two Way Tricot as the material choices. The reference field does not replace those selections or establish that every catalog design is suitable for every type.

Recognize when your own artwork needs a different form

A product code identifies a listed item; it is not an artwork file. If your plan is to submit your own finished illustrations, inspect the inputs on the product you intend to use rather than trying to describe the images through a SKU field.

The custom cover with Front and Back upload fields has the product SKU “Custom Pillow.” Its form provides separate file inputs: Front is currently optional and Back is required. Its SKU identifies that upload product, not a finished character design.

Choose the input method that actually matches your plan. Use a catalog reference when the chosen product asks for one; prepare image files when it asks for uploads. Neither a SKU nor an upload field establishes that drawing, editing, or artwork changes are included. Confirm any additional service you need separately.

For the wider ordering sequence, use the practical custom dakimakura ordering guide. Here, the key distinction is identifying what each reference represents before filling in the form.

Finish with one clear order note

Before adding an item to the cart, make a short note containing the exact page, its displayed SKU, and your selected options. For a SKU-based custom order, also record the source design’s code and link. Keeping those references distinct prevents the custom product’s own code from replacing the artwork reference.

1. Open the intended listing. Confirm that its preview is the design you meant.
2. Copy the displayed SKU. Keep the complete value rather than a shortened nickname.
3. Record the selections. Include dimensions, material, and any type or optional additions.
4. Check the required inputs. Distinguish a reference-code field from artwork-upload fields.
5. Review the cart entry. Compare the item and visible selections with your note before checkout.

If something does not match, correct it before paying. When asking about a discrepancy, send the product link, copied code, and the selection in question. That is much easier to interpret than a message containing only a character name.

Frequently asked questions

Is a dakimakura SKU the same as an order number?

No. The SKU refers to a product listing; an order number identifies a purchase. Keep the product code for locating the item and the order number for questions about an existing order.

Does one SKU guarantee the same size and fabric?

No. The listings discussed here have separate option menus. Record your selections alongside the code, and confirm the live options before making another purchase.

Should I enter CSAZ in the custom cover’s “Enter Sku” field?

CSAZ is that custom product’s own code. Keep it separate from the reference for your chosen catalog design. If you are unsure which source code the store needs, clarify it with the exact design link before ordering.

What should I do if I have an image but no product code?

Locate the matching listing and verify the preview, or ask the store whether it can identify the design. If you intend to supply your own artwork, check the upload product instead. Do not invent a code from an image filename.
