In 2025,
The IKI High Performance Happi Jacket & Pants
raised over ¥12,000,000 on Kickstarter.
238 backers.
30 countries.
This was more than funding.
It was validation.
Why We Chose Kickstarter
From the beginning, IKI was built on one principle:
We produce only in response to real demand.
No mass production.
No speculative inventory.
No artificial scarcity.
Kickstarter allowed us to measure something real —
not likes, not impressions, but commitment.
Each pledge represented a decision.
A conscious choice to support the project before production even began.
What ¥12,000,000 Actually Represents
The number itself is only part of the story.
It represents:
– 238 individual commitments
– 30 cultural contexts
– Trust placed in a concept before it existed in physical form
That level of commitment changes how we build.
It shifts production from assumption
to responsibility.
The Community Behind It
The messages we received during the campaign were clear:
People were not only buying a garment.
They were supporting an idea.
A different pace.
A different relationship with clothing.
A different approach to production.
The support confirmed that IKI resonates beyond borders.
What Happens Next
The first production run is now in fulfillment.
We are opening a limited pre-order for the second run.
Production begins only after all Kickstarter orders are completed.
As before, quantities are strictly limited.
Once capacity is reached, orders will close.

A Note of Gratitude
To the 238 supporters who made this possible — thank you.
This milestone was not the end of a campaign.
It was the beginning of something much larger.
IKI continues forward —
with clarity, restraint, and commitment.
