Fall. Fail. Learn. Respawn. That’s the Mixed Kohai way.
Five years ago, we started with a dream called Dreams2Fear — a small streetwear brand built from nothing but passion, anime inspiration, and late-night ideas. It was our first real shot at turning creativity into something we could wear. But like most first attempts, it didn’t go as planned. We hit walls, made mistakes, and watched things fall apart more than once.
But that failure? It taught us everything.
Dreams2Fear became the foundation for what would grow into something stronger — Mixed Kohai. The name comes from the Japanese word “Kohai,” meaning junior or apprentice. It’s a reminder that no matter how far we go, we’re always learning, growing, and leveling up.
Mixed Kohai represents the blend of anime culture, streetwear energy, and the mindset of never giving up — even when things don’t work out the first time. Every design we drop tells a story about progress, creativity, and embracing your own journey — flaws and all.
This brand is for those who fall, fail, learn, and come back stronger. For the ones who are still finding their path but refuse to quit. Because at the end of the day, we’re all Kohai — still learning, still evolving, and still chasing what’s next
