Mokobara's Love Letter to Naruto
Riding the trend wave of 2024, Mokobara is set to bring nostalgia back into 2025 with its new collection. The travel lifestyle brand known to be home to the most ‘Instagrammable’ travel accessories, have ventured into a new territory – a limited edition collection with the iconic anime series Naruto. The result? An absolutely magical take on fan culture that's as much about storytelling as it is about style.
The Moko x Naruto Transit Backpack, the first launch of the series, draws directly from the visual language of manga. Brushstrokes inspired by hand-drawn panels ripple across the Transit Backpack. "We wanted it to feel like it had been plucked straight from a Naruto manga panel,” shares Rumman Rizvi, Founding Member at Mokobara. Every stroke is deliberate, a nod to the craft that makes manga such a powerful medium.
This isn't just another backpack - it's designed to be a collectible, with details that reward close inspection. From clan emblems to hidden messages, the closer you get, the more the pack reveals.
The timing is impeccable. Anime's influence in India has evolved from niche to noteworthy – Naruto's 2024 return on Sony YAY! pulled in 5 million views, while Jujutsu Kaisen's theatrical release raked in 1.8 Crore on opening day alone. But beyond the numbers lies a community that's grown from passionate forum discussions to a full-blown cultural movement.
For a generation that grew up with both travel Pinterest boards and anime streaming tabs open, this collaboration doesn't just make sense – it feels inevitable. Mokobara hasn't just created products; they've captured a moment where pop culture, travel and nostalgia intersect perfectly. In making anime references that whisper rather than shout, Mokobara might just have created this season's most interesting conversation piece.
Mokobara Brings Naruto's Ramen Shop to Comic Con 2025
Mokobara turned heads at Comic Con 2025 with a booth inspired by the legendary Ichiraku Ramen Shop. Held on January 18th and 19th, the pop-up brought fans into the world of Naruto, showcasing Mokobara's exclusive limited-edition Naruto collection in a setting fans couldn't help but recognize.
"Ichiraku Ramen Shop is at the heart of so many memorable Naruto moments," says Rumman Rizvi, Founding Member at Mokobara. "We wanted to bring that same magic to Comic Con as we introduce our collection."
While no actual ramen was served, fans indulged in a hearty helping of nostalgia as they explored the collection in a space that felt like a true homage to Naruto's world.
