JOIN THE PROJECT

More Than a Brand. A Community.

We started The Nakama Project because we felt something was missing. As lifelong fans, we wanted anime-inspired apparel that was as clean, stylish, and well-made as our favorite everyday clothing. We wanted apparel that was a subtle nod to our passion, not a loud advertisement. 

 

Our brand is built on the Japanese concept of "nakama"—a bond between comrades united by a shared journey. We believe apparel can be a symbol of that connection.


Since the early days, we’ve had a focus on building one of the most unique and fulfilling workplaces by rethinking a lot of traditional practices.

Crafted for the Crew

At The Nakama Project, we believe apparel is a symbol of connection. As fans ourselves, we create for our fellow nakama. Every piece is designed with intent, focusing on premium materials and subtle details that honor the stories we all share.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your designs original? What does "anime-inspired" mean?

Yes, all designs are original creations by The Nakama Project. "Anime-inspired" means we draw inspiration from the themes, characters, and aesthetics of beloved anime series to create unique, subtle, and stylish apparel. Our goal is to create wearable art that honors the source material, not to use official imagery. This allows us to make more creative and minimalist designs for the discerning fan.

What's the meaning behind the name "The Nakama Project"?

"Nakama" (仲間) is a Japanese word for a comrade, crewmate, or member of a found family—a bond deeper than friendship. It's a core theme in many of the stories we love. "The Nakama Project" is our mission to build a community of fans connected by a shared passion, creating high-quality apparel that celebrates these stories together.

What kind of quality can I expect?

We're committed to creating apparel we, as fans, would be proud to wear. We focus on using premium, comfortable materials (like 100% heavyweight cotton for our tees) and durable printing techniques. We want every piece to be a long-lasting part of your collection. Check the product descriptions for specific material information.

How should I care for my apparel to protect the design?

To keep your gear looking its best, we recommend washing inside out with cold water and like colors. Tumble dry on low heat or, for best results, hang to dry. Avoid ironing directly on the printed design.

How long will my order take to arrive?

We process orders within 1-3 business days. Shipping times vary depending on your location. You can find a detailed breakdown of estimated shipping times by region on our Shipping Policy page. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order ships so you can follow its journey.
