ABOUT｜AKAPAN

AKAPAN BRAND CONCEPT

Yukiyoshi Ozawa is expanding his range of activities as an actor.
Actually, Ozawa only wears red underwear on a daily basis.
Why the insistence on red?
In Japan, since ancient times, red loincloths have been considered auspicious.
She also likes the "Good Luck" image that the color evokes.
His father, Seiji Ozawa, a world-renowned conductor, was a huge fan of the Boston Red Sox and always wore red items (socks, jacket, red cap, etc.).
Those childhood memories led to a positive impression of the color red.
Apparently, there are other potential reasons as well.
He always wears red pants, and they're made of high-quality material.
I was always looking for soft, comfortable red underwear.
Amidst all of this, a certain thought suddenly crossed my mind.
"Wouldn't it be better to just make it myself?"
And that's how the AKAPAN PROJECT was born. With passion and attention to detail in materials and packaging, we create items for ourselves, and for someone we haven't yet met.
