About "mowl Osaka"

In Osaka, where there are few places for yo-yo players to naturally gather and enjoy, "mowl Osaka" is opening as a new hub that merges skill toys, music, skateboarding, and other subcultures. Managed by mowl®︎, this store aims to foster, share, and redefine yo-yo culture, creating a unique space to shape its future.

Note: The mowl Osaka Pre-Open Event scheduled for Saturday, November 9, will be accessible only to guests with an invitation. Please be aware that additional guests cannot be admitted, with the exception of young children under elementary school age.

Please be mindful: If a line forms on the day, we kindly ask that you wait in an orderly fashion without disturbing the nearby residents. The queue location is marked on the map below with a red arrow, and we request guests to line up along the sidewalk in front of Kizu Junior High School across the street.

While mowl primarily focuses on online sales, the purchase experience at the mowl Osaka physical store offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world and history of mowl. It’s a special space designed to foster communication through yo-yos and provides an enriched experience.

We are currently finalizing our lineup of available items. As each product release is confirmed, we will introduce it in our blog.

 


TitiFreak Graffiti Pullover
This hoodie design was created in collaboration with TitiFreak, a graffiti artist from São Paulo, Brazil, known for his artwork on the MRL series and Rotix. We commissioned him to design the graffiti for the entrance of the "mowl Osaka" store, and that artwork now adorns the back of this pullover. This special edition piece commemorates the opening of mowl Osaka, featuring TitiFreak’s signature vibrant colors reproduced with a unique printing method to capture his style authentically.


We have prepared various activities for our guests to enjoy. Sample items are also available for you to try, so please feel free to ask any of our staff.
