GHOST GiRL GOODS is the only Canadian shop where you can purchase the awesome Japanese streetwear brands 6%DOKIDOKI, NUEZZZ, and HYPER CORE! We work directly with the designers and shop staff to bring you their great products, so you'll always be getting 100% authentic goods!
Why did we start carrying Japanese brands?
I've always wanted to be able to purchase Harajuku street wear in Canada. For a long time, it was very hard to access cool brands without having to use a shopping service, which took so much time to find a reputable one. Some brands eventually made their products available online to international customers. There are many conventions in the US that have Japanese brands and even some shops selling such. But in Canada, specifically Ontario...NOTHING! I wanted to be able to provide fashion lovers access to these great brands without having to pay such a high conversion rates or shipping charges. As well, when people visit our booth at various conventions, they'll be able to see and feel the products first before buying! (You also might be able to try some items on!)
Let's take a look at each brand!
6%DOKIDOKI is the icon of Harajuku fashion and kawaii style. It has been at the forefront of Harajuku since 1995 and over many years, as created a global outreach. Thanks to 6%DOKIDOKI, many people around the world can experience kawaii and Harajuku fashion. The products that designer Sebastian Masuda creates are absolutely filled with colour and whimsy.

The second streetwear brand, NUEZZZ, is designed by former galaxxxy (another Japanese brand) artist Jun Arai. Unfortunately, NUEZZZ is not producing clothing items anymore. (Since around late 2020/2021) This brand is themed with 80s nostalgic vibes, but came to life in 2018. The psychedelic patterns and colours will make your eyes widen! They did not have their own physical shop, but sold their products in various clothing stores in the Tokyo area! They categorize their designs as "offering NU-GRF-X FASHION WEAR" according to their website!

Hisacy, the creator of HYPER CORE, has been a long time artist who was even featured in KERA magazines for his work! The designs of this brand have more edge and a punk energy to them. The brand's description directly from their site: "Based on the punk rock style, we propose items that mix Japanese culture such as art / music / movie / 90's Harajuku that designer Hisacy has been deeply involved in. Every day from Tokyo / Harajuku to the world. HYPER CORE IS HERE FOR YOU!"
