About Us

When I started Gosei, I didn’t want to just build a clothing brand — I wanted to build a lifestyle.
Gosei means fifth generation Japanese, but to me, it’s more than a translation. It represents legacy, identity, and progress — everything I’ve learned from where I come from and everything I’m working toward becoming. I’m fifth-generation Japanese American, but I’m also African American, Irish, and Portuguese. Gosei is about embracing all of that — every culture, every lesson, every part of who I am — and turning it into something bigger.

I created Gosei because I believe what you wear should reflect what you stand for. I’ve grown up around sports — surfing, football, baseball — and through all of them, I’ve learned that real growth doesn’t happen when things are easy. It happens when you keep showing up, even when it’s hard. That’s what Gosei stands for: being proud of your roots, but never staying still. It’s about constant evolution — becoming your better self, every single day.

Each collection has its own story. The Sakura Collection is about appreciating the present — knowing that the best moments don’t last forever, so you have to live them fully. The Rising Sun Collection is about new beginnings — taking chances, improving, and rising stronger after every setback. Every piece we make is a reminder that your journey matters — and that progress, no matter how small, is worth celebrating.

Gosei isn’t just something you wear. It’s something you live.
It’s the mindset of always growing, staying grounded, and taking pride in the path that made you who you are.
