I think it should also involve a bit of tokusatsu,a bit of asian drama,a bit of whatever else as well because some people might be more into something else Asian. Personally I like anime but tokusatsu excites me more.

easy- auto themed
I'd have a panda Ae86 parked adjacent an s30z and of course an R34 in dark blue. And if you can't afford that, then your business will fail! /jk - but you can always buy posters of them *coughs - cheap-skate*

Limit access to the area books are in and monitor with cameras. Plant chips in books and have a scanner at the entrance/exit of that section.

You may also need to find a way to devalue the books, as to make them less attractive to steal. You can laminate the covers like library books and stamp you shop's name all over it.

Have a man dressed as a gorilla ready to jump on anyone that tries to nick one.

Snack bar - to sell snacks like pocky, ramen, smaller cakes and cookies
Book readings - celebrity and up and comers guests to do book readings of their manga and book signings

Display case filled with japanese toys, Chogokin etc

Get a larger display case and put a small scale model of a district with running trains.......... a friend of mine was doing something similar with his sushi store, its not in a display case, but model building along the wall and tracks along the wall, so the train travel around the entire complex..

Use one of the Train station chime as your door opening/closing melody...

Decorate the entrance of the place with something that signifies japan: Tori, Yamanote train entrance (you will need the full aluminum and gree theme to pull this off) etc

Thats about all that I can think of.... one of the forum members can probably tell you where you can order a bunch of japanese toys and stuff.. I use Rakuten myself for the most part, and I use Tenso to have stuff redirected...
