Our underwear used to just be cotton, but we wanted to see if we could create something out of synthetics.

Americans believe cotton is best, but we've invented new fabrics that will change your lifestyle.

At Uniqlo, we're thinking ahead. We're thinking about how to create new, innovative products... and sell that to everyone.

It is clothes. It is parts. Therefore, you combine the parts differently to create your own unique expression.

The Asian brand, which I admire for having become a global success, is Samsung. In comparison, we're just starting, but I believe that we at Uniqlo will be the next Asian brand to do well globally.

Our international success started out first because we became the No. 1 casual wear brand in our home market of Japan. Then, we set up stores in the world's major fashion centers of New York, Paris and London.
