Anime has gone from niche hobby to global entertainment juggernaut. And Counter-Strike’s catalog of anime-inspired skins and stickers, dating back to 2014, has taken note. Here’s every anime sticker in the game, organized by collection, plus some of our favorite crafts to get you inspired.
The Kawaii Killers
The original anime decals in Counter-Strike, the Kawaii Killers are community artist “SKULLSPLITTER”’s creations that kicked off the sticker lineage. The Kawaii Killer CT was added to the game in Sept. 2014, with bright orange hair, wielding an M4A4 in one hand and a peace sign in the other.
Its Terrorist counterpart, Kawaii Killer T, followed in April 2015 with contrasting blue-hair and the AK-47. Both stickers regularly trade around the $1 mark, and bring some charm to virtually any weapon.
The Perfect World Capsule
Marking Counter-Strike:Global Offensive’s release in China, and Valve’s partnership with publisher Perfect World, this capsule holds the largest cluster of anime stickers in the game.
The standouts are Cheongsam and Cheongsam (Holo), depicting a chibi anime girl in traditional Chinese dress holding an AK-47. The paper version (~$1) has soft pink and gold tones, while the holo (~$1.30) shifts between purple, yellow, and green depending on the viewing angle.
Water Gun takes a slightly different approach, with a more naturally proportioned anime girl in a black dress and wearing cat-ear headphones, posing with a FAMAS-shaped water gun. With its bright pink circle background, it pops especially well on darker skins.
Bringing more of the chibi artstyle, Noodles features a terrorist cosying up to a bowl of ramen with an AK-47 and the text “EAT ME”. Absurd, charming, and very affordable (~$0.15) , the sticker is a staple of cutesy crafts everywhere.
The 10 Year Birthday Capsule
The biggest single addition to the anime sticker catalog, this capsule dropped in August 2022 to mark Counter-Strike’s 10th anniversary. Fittingly, its anime offerings were decided by community vote.
Kawaii CT and Kawaii T are the premium evolution of the original Kawaii Killers, created by community designer “Milong” after winning the CSGO10 Sticker Contest. The holographic multi-layer finish adds shifting color and depth that the originals simply can’t match. At $5-$8 each they cost a lot more than their predecessors, but for a centerpiece craft they’re hard to beat.

Kawaii Eyes is the sleeper hit of the capsule. A deceptively simple holographic rectangle showing a pair of wide anime cat eyes. Positioned well, it can give any weapon its own expression, or overlay another sticker’s face for a surreal effect. Its scrape pattern is also one of the most interesting in the game: take it to 100% and a single glittery twinkle remains (~$3-$5).
Loving Eyes follows the same concept with a warmer, more romantic palette (~$2-$4), while Baby Medusa rounds things out by reimagining the Greek myth as a kawaii girl tenderly petting her snake-hair (~$1.50). It’s also a playful nod to the notoriously expensive AWP | Medusa skin.
Other CS2 Anime Stickers
Akihabara Accept Surf Ava (Foil), released during Operation Riptide in 2021, is the most premium anime sticker in the game. It depicts the CT agent Ava on a surfboard carrying the iconic Akihabara Accept weapon finish, a double reference that collectors love. The foil film gives it sharp, high-contrast shimmer at around $10-$15.
V For Victory (Holo) arrived in 2022 via The Boardroom Sticker Capsule. A futuristic anime girl with goggles throwing double peace signs, rendered in shifting blues and greens. It leans more sci-fi than kawaii, but sits naturally alongside the rest of the holo lineup at ~$2-$4.
Rounding out the collection is T On Cat. As the name suggests, it is a T-side agent riding a giant white cat, drawn in a style reminiscent of classic Miyazaki. The sticker remains available on the Steam market at just ~$1.
Where to buy Anime Stickers in CS2
The Steam Community Market is the safest option. There you can search by sticker name or browse by capsule under CS2’s Sticker category. Third-party platforms like Skinport, CS.Money, Buff163, etc. often have lower prices, but make sure to stick to reputable sites with clear buyer protections.
If you’re targeting multiple stickers from the same capsule, it’s worth comparing the cost of opening capsules directly against buying individually, occasionally the math works out in your favor.
