Gintama Dakimakura Covers: DM22 and DM23 Design Guide

Published by Dakimakura Store · Published October 6, 2026

A Gintama dakimakura can be a character purchase and a room-design choice at the same time. Two covers may come from the same series and start at the same displayed price, yet make quite different impressions when placed against a sofa or bed. The useful question is which complete illustration you want to see every day, followed by which size and material fit your existing setup.

This guide compares DM22 and DM23, two listings in the Gin Tama body pillow cover collection. Both have action-oriented, clothed artwork, but their palettes and compositions differ. Their current size and material menus also provide a practical way to compare equivalent configurations without assuming that a starting price represents every available option.

Start with the complete design, not the small thumbnail

A narrow product thumbnail can make both designs look like dark, patterned covers. Open the full image and the difference becomes clearer. DM22 pairs a purple-toned panel with a much brighter blue-and-white panel. DM23 uses green on one panel and a strong red outfit against a warmer gold-toned background on the other. These are observations of the catalog images, not promises about exact printed color.

Think about the surrounding bedding before choosing. DM22 gives you a distinct blue-and-white area that may stand out against plain dark bedding. DM23 offers a stronger red focal point and more earthy background colors. Neither palette is objectively better; choosing the one you prefer is more useful than treating the shared series name as the whole decision.

DM22: purple and blue with strong light-dark contrast

The DM22 Gintama cover listing shows two illustrated panels with different visual balances. One is dominated by a dark outfit and purple background; the other includes silver hair, a black shirt and a white garment with bold blue patterns. The patterned borders and background marks give the design a busy, action-focused appearance.

Choose this design if that difference between the two panels is part of the appeal. At a distance, the white-and-blue garment creates a clear bright area; closer up, the dark panel has finer background detail to inspect. If you prefer a quiet, mostly empty background, this particular illustration may feel visually crowded. Look at the full image at roughly the size you expect to see it from your usual sitting position.

The listing title is a useful search label, but the displayed artwork should remain your reference when confirming the exact design. Save the SKU DM22 with your selection. If a character name or illustration detail seems inconsistent, ask the store to confirm it before ordering rather than assuming a similar title identifies the same artwork.

DM23: green and red with warm background accents

The DM23 Gintama cover listing takes a different color direction. Its catalog image shows a green outfit against a green-toned background on one panel, and a red outfit with gold-toned background details on the other. Both panels feature drawn swords and clothed action poses, with the composition extending along the tall cover shape.

DM23 is worth shortlisting when you want the red clothing to be the main visual accent. The green panel gives the design another color direction, which matters if you plan to turn the pillow regularly. Compare both panels before deciding that the product matches your room: a favorite thumbnail can represent only part of what the complete image shows.

For a gift, showing the recipient these two catalog images can be more useful than asking only whether they like Gintama. A preference for a particular outfit, color scheme or pose may be stronger than a preference for one product title. Record the chosen SKU so the eventual order follows the agreed illustration.

Compare the same size and material on both listings

At the time of checking, DM22 and DM23 each display a starting price of US$24.99 and the same four size choices: 120 × 40 cm, 150 × 50 cm, 160 × 50 cm and 180 × 60 cm. Both material menus list Peach Skin, Natural Velvet and Two Way Tricot. Those shared options let you compare artwork without changing the basic configuration.

• Choose the size first: match both dimensions to the insert you intend to use.
• Select the same material: comparing different fabrics can create a price difference unrelated to the illustration.
• Review every remaining selector: check that the cart contains only the configuration you actually want.
• Compare the final cart totals: the initial displayed price is not a quote for every size and material combination.

The current menus add US$12 for 150 × 50 cm, US$24 for 160 × 50 cm and US$35 for 180 × 60 cm relative to the listed base size. Natural Velvet adds US$8.99 and Two Way Tricot adds US$28.99 relative to Peach Skin. These are option amounts observed on these two listings, not a site-wide price rule. Recheck the live selections and checkout total before paying, since prices and available choices can change.

Fit matters more than choosing the largest illustration

A larger cover is useful only if it fits the pillow you plan to put inside it. The 150 × 50 cm and 160 × 50 cm choices have the same width but different lengths. If you already own an insert, read its dimensions before deciding between them. Do not treat those sizes as interchangeable just because they look similar in a product menu.

The cover and insert sizing guide can help you check both measurements. For a first setup, also separate the cover purchase from the filling: a character cover listing should not be assumed to include an inner pillow. Confirm the package contents and budget for the insert separately when needed.

Use the material menu as your available shortlist

These listings include general fabric descriptions, but the selectable menu is the important check for the order itself. DM22 and DM23 currently offer three material choices. Seeing other fabric names in a general description does not establish that those materials are selectable for this particular cover.

Peach Skin is the base-price material here. The product descriptions present Natural Velvet as a plush option and Two Way Tricot as a stretch-focused fabric. Use the comparison of dakimakura fabric surfaces to decide which characteristics you value, then return to the exact product menu. Do not choose a more expensive material solely because its name sounds more premium.

A final artwork check before checkout

Before adding your preferred design, review the full-height image again. Check the face, outfit, hands, background and lower edge rather than judging only the upper portrait. The guide to reading cover product photos explains why thumbnails, paired panels and cropped previews can give different impressions.

Keep a short order note for yourself: DM22 or DM23, selected dimensions, selected material and whether an insert is already available. That record is especially useful if you compare several open tabs or return to the purchase later. For ongoing use, follow the store’s cover washing guidance and any care instructions supplied with your chosen material.
