Having met at the Bunka Fashion College in Tokyo, Jun Takahashi and Nigo would go on to generate a legacy behind their respective brands Undercover and A Bathing Ape.
Bonding almost immediately through their shared interest for music and fashion, they went on to pursue their first joint venture in 1993, the inception of the NOWHERE store. NOWHERE is considered as the focal point of Urahara style and is the birthplace for both Undercover and A Bathing Ape. NOWHERE is where Nigo and Jun Takahashi would nurture their chaotic carefree spirits before becoming known globally.
