It Started With Exhaustion, and Love...
Every night, I’d watch my wife come home from the hospital, drained from a 12-hour shift.
She’s a pediatrician. A mother. A caregiver in every sense of the word.
But the tools she worked in: her scrubs, her equipment, her schedule; they were never designed to support the human behind the role.
I couldn’t stop asking myself:
Why do the people who care for everyone else have to settle for just good-enough?
A Family Mission
We’re a multicultural family living in Tokyo:
A British-Japanese pediatrician, a Taiwanese-Australian software engineer, and a little boy who speaks more than one language but hasn’t quite picked one to stick with yet.
Our lives revolve around care: In the hospital, at home, and in our work.
We created Hippo Tokyo, not just for doctors and nurses, but for the humans beneath the uniform.
Rooted in Japan, Made for the World
Hippo Tokyo is inspired by where we live and who we love.
Japan taught us simplicity, thoughtfulness, and quiet strength.
But our mission reaches far beyond borders.
We’re here to support healthcare professionals everywhere.
Not just with better tools, but with better design, and better care.
From Frontlines to Everyday Life
We’ve lived what it means to care: in hospital hallways, during 3am feeds, and on emergency flights.
Hippo Tokyo was born from those moments.
Our first scrubs are made to move with you, breathe with you, and stay with you.
But this is just the beginning.
We’re not just making uniforms,
We’re here to make life better for every healthcare heroes.
Hippo Tokyo is made to support the ones who support everyone else.
Join Our Journey
We’re just getting started and we’d love for you to be part of it.
Whether you’re on the frontlines or behind the scenes, this brand is for you.
For the late nights. The early rounds. The quiet moments that no one sees.
Join us in building something better for the ones who care for everyone else.
