Mizuno is a Japanese brand founded in 1906 by Rihachi and Rizo Mizuno in Osaka, Japan. At the outset, the two brothers were passionate about Western culture, particularly the new sport of baseball, which had just arrived in Japan from the United States. They began selling baseball products.  One thing led to another, and the brand built up its history with many other sports: judo, which has a special place in the brand's history, athletics and golf.
