J-Subculture (ジェイ・サブカルチャー; sometimes referred to as J-Subculture.com) is a Japanese e-commerce shopping site that offers regular online shopping, purchase agency (proxy) services as well as commission-free auction [1] via Yahoo! Auctions Japan, Japan’s largest auction platform. It also operates a wholesale division, specializing in the international distribution of Japanese sweets, stationery, plastic model kits and various toy lines. All the services J-Subculture offers are exclusively oriented towards clients from outside Japan.
Overview
The company headquarters are in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. According to its company profile [2] the business started out as a small, local system management company in 2006, but then turned its focus onto the import/export business with distribution of otaku-/pop-culture and Japanese consumer goods in 2012.[3] Its primary mission it defines as introducing Japanese subculture to an international audience and bringing Japan as a whole closer to the world. With the expansion and growth of business activities, a wholesale department was added in 2014 in order to serve commercial clients abroad.
Logo & Mascots
As the main shop mascot, J-Subculture has chosen a deformed style of Hatsune Miku, the main character of the singing voice synthesizer of the Vocaloid. Besides the character of Marisa Kirisame, another sub-mascot, the female characters by the names of Ami, Nami and Mami appear alongside Hatsune Miku as shop representatives. The three students, animated characters designed by the company’s in-house artist Honda, each come with characteristics linked to the shop departments.
