Details
Kojima Genes was founded by Hidemitsu Kawazome in 1996. A native of Kojima, Okayama, the denim capital of Japan, Kawazome wanted to create a high-quality jeans brand that doesn't cost a fortune. He used the word Genes to convey the fact that Jeans are a part of the genes of the master craftspeople of Kojima.
