with the motorcycle

In 1975, Masataka Fukano, the son of founder Shojiro Fukano, became the second president. From this time on, the company expanded its business by concentrating on the motorcycle field.

He is committed to craftsmanship and develops products specialized for motorcycle wear, which is also his hobby. With flexible and innovative ideas, he brings one never-before-seen product after another to the world.

As a result, with the arrival of the motorcycle boom, Kadoya's name quickly became well known. At one point, the company supported dozens of racing riders and had a sign at Tsukuba Circuit alongside those of other major corporations.

Even in the 1980s, the company's original policies of "made to order" and "producing high-quality products" remained unchanged.

BATTLE SUIT

The "BATTLE SUIT" has become the uniform of hardcore bikers. It is the strongest protective suit ever made, with leather-wrapped hard protectors in 14 places all over the body. The main body is made of 1.5mm extra-thick cowhide, and everything is fully custom-made to ensure that the protectors fit precisely at the key points.

The pride of the pioneers and the track record of long-selling products continue to build trust, making this a true "BATTLE" SUIT. Its aggressive form has captivated many riders, further ensuring the safety and reliability of KADOYA.

In addition, many other best-selling products, such as the "OVERGUARD SUIT," the first MFJ-certified two-piece suit, were all born from Kadoya's unique ideas and the skills of its skilled craftsmen.

To make our customers even happier

In order to further communicate with the riders, Kadoya will take on various challenges.

The "Fan Meeting" event was a way to give back to KADOYA fans, "Shinya DAY" was held with street attacker Shinya Sato, and the "AKIRA [A] Project" was held to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the legendary work "AKIRA"...

By creating opportunities for interaction not only with riders but also with people from various fields related to motorcycles, we have focused on the lifestyles of "people who enjoy motorcycles" so that we can communicate with a wide variety of customers.

Ref Leather

We have started a leather cleaning business called "Ref Leather", which is an after-sales service to help you use your leather products for a long time.

"I believe this new business is my final mission as a leather jacket maker. There were technical issues that prevented me from starting it up until now, but by incorporating proven methods, I am finally able to make it a reality.

The system I have been planning for many years is now complete. In the future, I would like to continue making leather jackets and also to research this business further to make it a good one."

(Current Chairman: Masataka Fukano)
