About Us
My name is Yusef, and for the past ten years, I’ve been immersed in the import/export business between Japan and California, specializing in cars, containers, trucks, and more. Along the way, I’ve built a unique collection of items that many of my peers often overlook—like instruments, arcade machines, and other incredible finds from Japan, all of which can be shipped to the USA. In doing so I realized that there’s still an amazing opportunity to deck out your home, man cave or garage with these unique goods from Japan! I have aquired some of my dream guitars, amps, and home stereo equipment here for a steal as an example! Before coming to Japan I would frequent the Bay Areas local flea markets and thrift stores in search of treasure. Because of that I find myself to be pretty well versed in non car related items that have a great opportunity to snag at a deal for either personal use , admire, or flip for a profit!
While on a business trip to Osaka in 2015 I met my partner Eiji, who shares the same enthusiasm for entrepreneurship and business. He has run and operated his own automotive shop and body shop for the past ten years. Over the years we had worked together as friends before finally teaming up and creating KW Exchange, our joint corporation based in Osaka, Japan.
I am also the owner and operator of Thrash Racing LLC Since I restarted the company in 2018!
