About Us
We don’t just sell apparel. We celebrate anime culture.
GearNeko was founded by a group of lifelong anime fans who wanted more than mass-produced merch. We create original, fan-inspired designs that let people express their passion through everyday streetwear, home décor, and lifestyle products - without pretending to be something we’re not.
Our Story
GearNeko started as a small passion project among friends who spent years collecting anime, attending conventions, and sketching characters late into the night. What began as custom designs for ourselves and close friends quickly grew when the community asked for more.
Today, GearNeko is an independent brand operated by Kawaprint LLC, a registered U.S. business based in New Mexico. We design original graphics in-house and produce every item to order. Our goal is simple: high-quality, creative products made for real fans, shipped worldwide.
Why GearNeko Is Different
01. Independent & Transparent GearNeko is an independent anime-inspired brand. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to any anime studio, publisher, production company, or copyright holder. All designs are original creations by our creative team, inspired by the energy and visual style of anime culture.
02. Designed In-House, Made to Order Every product starts with our in-house design team. Once you place an order, the item is produced specifically for you. This made-to-order approach reduces waste, ensures quality control, and lets us offer a wide range of creative designs.
03. Built for Fans We create for people who live and breathe anime. From bold graphic tees and hoodies to tapestries, blankets, and everyday accessories - our products are meant to be worn, used, and enjoyed as personal expressions of fandom.
Our Values
- Creativity - We reimagine rather than copy. Every design is an original interpretation.
- Quality - We use carefully selected materials and print methods so the final product looks and feels premium.
- Honesty - We are clear about who we are and what we sell. No fake licenses. No misleading claims.
Authenticity & Licensing Statement
GearNeko products are unofficial, fan-inspired merchandise. They are not official licensed products.
We create original artwork for artistic and expressive purposes. Any resemblance to existing anime characters, series, or styles is purely inspirational and does not imply endorsement or affiliation with the original rights holders.
This transparency is intentional and aligns with our commitment to honest marketing and compliance with advertising and marketplace policies, including Google Merchant Center requirements.
