HUMAN MADE Inc. is honored to share that we have been selected for the "The 2026 Gold 100 LIST" by Gold House in the Fashion and Lifestyle category, with the recognition presented at an awards ceremony on May 9.
The "Gold 100" is an award that celebrates Asian Pacific leaders and creators who influence the world through culture. For 2026, 100 globally active individuals and groups were selected from a wide range of fields, including entertainment, business, sports, social activism, and fashion.
At the awards ceremony held at The Music Center in Los Angeles, HUMAN MADE CEO/COO Rei Matsunuma and CSO Rehito Hatoyama represented the Fashion and Lifestyle category. In their speech, they spoke regarding the creativity generated by culture and its power to connect people, communities, and the world.
Encouraged by this award, we will continue to move forward toward our company purpose: "Cultivate Culture"—the mission to nurture "the seeds of culture," born from human inspiration and craftsmanship, into a leading Japanese creative industry that stands alongside manga, anime, and gaming.
