We grew up in Tokyo, surrounded by Japan's vibrant traditions and culture. In 2012, we left it all behind, moving to North America with nothing but a drive to build a new life. To make ends meet, we painted houses, spending long days under the sun.

What surprised us most were the conversations. Clients weren’t just hiring us, they were connecting with us, fascinated by our Japanese heritage. They shared their love for Japan, their admiration for samurai, and their respect for our culture. We never expected such deep appreciation, but those conversations became a bridge between two worlds.

One evening, after a long day of painting, we found ourselves talking about the Yakuza. Their sharp suits, sleek sunglasses, and the undeniable aura of power and mystique. There’s something about their aesthetic that’s effortlessly cool, like they own every room they step into. It wasn’t just about the money or the influence; it was the way they carried themselves—with confidence, respect, and an edge that made them unforgettable.

That conversation sparked an idea:

What if we could help anyone embody that magnetic aura? Our store isn’t just about premium Japanese goods—it’s about channeling that same bold, magnetic spirit. We want you to feel unique, powerful, and effortlessly cool—like the person everyone notices when they walk into a room. And that’s how our store was born.
