BEYOND COOL Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Yushi Arai) has signed a Japanese distribution agreement with the Seoul, Korea-based headwear brand "MASCOMPANY."
The brand will launch its operations in Japan starting Wednesday, June 10, 2026.
"MASCOMPANY" is a headwear brand based in the cultural area of Mapo-gu, Seoul. The brand name "MAS" is an acronym for "MOM AND SON." It also originates from the Korean word "모자 (moja)," which means both "hat" and "mother and son."
"The relationship between a hat and a person is as inseparable as that of a mother and son."
Based on this slightly humorous philosophy, the brand develops products centered on caps and beanies. In addition to new original products, they also handle vintage caps and archive pieces, proposing the "culture of the hat itself."
For its Japan launch, the lineup will include the "SEOULMATE cap & beanie," a collaboration model with the Seoul city brand project "SEOUL MY SOUL" which gained popularity in Korea, the "Soft Rock Cafe cap" which evokes an homage to vintage culture, and the "Mozarina cap," a humorous reinterpretation of a famous painting. The collection features caps (from JPY 8,800, tax included) and beanies (from JPY 6,600, tax included) that shine with their relaxed naming and exquisite graphic sense.
SEOUL MY SOUL x MASCOMPANY-cap / JPY 8,800 (tax incl.)
SEOUL MY SOUL x MASCOMPANY-beanie / JPY 7,150 (tax incl.)
Soft Rock Cafe cap / JPY 8,800 (tax incl.)
Mozarina cap / JPY 8,800 (tax incl.)
Sales will begin at the "CAViAR PRODUCTS POP UP SHOP 'LIFESTYLE EDIT'" held at JR Nagoya Takashimaya, followed by a sequential rollout at CAViAR PRODUCTS (https://www.caviar-products.jp/), ZOZOTOWN, and select shops nationwide.
"MASCOMPANY," which has been quietly gaining support in the Seoul cultural scene, is finally arriving in Japan.

FAQ
Is it possible that this brand will be sold in Taiwan in the future?
Although not mentioned in the article, success in Japan could lead to expansion into other Asian markets, especially Taiwan, where interest in Korean culture is high.
Can I purchase from the Japanese online store from Taiwan?
It depends on whether the sales channels, 'CAViAR PRODUCTS' or ZOZOTOWN, offer international shipping. You would need to check the terms of service on each online store for details.
Does the brand name 'MASCOMPANY' have any connection to Taiwanese culture?
The brand name comes from the Korean homonyms for 'mother and son' (모자) and 'hat' (모자). While it may resonate with the shared Asian value of cherishing family, there is no direct connection to Taiwanese culture.
Why was Japan chosen as the first overseas market?
Japan is geographically close and has a high level of acceptance for Korean pop culture and fashion, making it an ideal market for the brand to establish an overseas foothold.
How can a select shop in Taiwan start carrying this brand?
The most direct way would be to contact the Japanese distributor, BEYOND COOL Co., Ltd. They may hold the distribution rights for the entire Asian region.
