What is Bounty Hunter?
Bounty Hunter is a Japanese fashion brand.
Originally opened as an American comic book toy store and punk rock t-shirt store that the owner bought himself.
Since the first original figure, Kid Hunter, designed by Skate Thing, sold out in no time, the company has been releasing figures designed by itself on an irregular basis.
In addition, his collaboration with Hiroshi Fujiwara was also very popular.

History of Bounty Hunter
While the designer Mr. Iwanaga was a student at Bunka Fashion College, he met Undercover designer Shield Takahashi and formed a punk band called Tokyo Sex Pistols.
The band was active at a punk rock DJ event called LONDON NITE.
Later, after working as a valet and driver for Charter Onuki, whom he met at LONDON NITE, he opened the Bounty Hunter Harajuku store in 1995.
He led the Ura-Harajuku boom at the time, selling out all the original figures in the store immediately, and his original clothing was also very popular.
Today, the store offers a rich variety of original clothing based on the punk rock style, as well as toys and miscellaneous goods.
The company also collaborates with various brands such as Extra Large, Reebok Classic, and Jam Homemade.
