Here in the Blog, we would like to focus on the founders of Akiba Mart — Toku and Susumu.

Me and Susumu first met in 1993, we both were studying in the same high school in Kyoto. At that time, we did not have strong relationship because Susumu was in different class room. After a year later when we were 11th grade, me and Susumu met in the same class and built strong relationship.

After graduated high school, we both started to walk on different lives. After several years, I graduated university and find a job in Tokyo while Susumu was studying master’s degree program. When Susumu graduated university and moved to Tokyo for his job, we met again and now being best friends each other.
