About Us

SHOTA is a Japanese-American clothing brand rooted in minimalism, intention, and cultural contrast.

The name “Shota” (翔太) in Japanese can mean “to soar”. A feeling we want every piece to carry. Our garments are designed to move with you, to age with you, and to make you feel grounded in your own skin. Not loud. Not fleeting. Simply refined, enduring, and sincere.

SHOTA draws inspiration from Japanese craftsmanship and the nostalgia of vintage design. We design our pieces with silhouettes and fabrics that tell stories which are reinterpreted through a modern lens. Each piece honors the balance between heritage and evolution. Ultimately embracing imperfections, texture, and the quiet beauty found in things made to last.

These are pieces made for those who value true craftsmanship. 

When you wear SHOTA, you carry a piece of our philosophy. That clothing can connect people, time, and place. Each drop is created to bring likeminded individuals together, forming a quiet community built on appreciation of the finest details.

This is the world SHOTA is building. We hope to see you be a part of it.
