Motorcycle helmets are often seen as both a fashion accessory and a safety tool in Japan. Many riders select helmets that reflect their personal style or interests, and helmet customization is a popular trend. The "custom culture" trend, which involves customising helmets with custom paint jobs, stickers, or other embellishments, is popular in Japan.
