Representative director Mei Kanayama agreed to pay JPY58,838,000 for 1,396,755 ordinary shares. Tokushin, owned by Kanayama and his family, agreed to exchange JPY510,000,000 of loan principal for 12,106,893 shares; the principal will be extinguished upon completion. Combined consideration is JPY568,838,000 (approximately US$3.7 million), with a US$0.274-per-ordinary-share pricing benchmark.

Tokyo Lifestyle (TKLF) will fully prepay all outstanding amounts under a HK$100 million (about US$12.8 million) revolving financing facility of its Hong Kong subsidiary by September 30, 2026, after terminating the facility on June 24, 2026.
The five-year facility, originally entered into in June 2025 and not fully utilized, was ended through a loan termination agreement under which all principal, accrued interest, fees, and other payable amounts remain due by September 30, 2026. The company determined that, based on its operating needs, cash flow, and accounts receivable collections, it no longer expects to require funding under this facility and aims to reduce debt, lower financing costs, and improve capital efficiency.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, Tokyo Lifestyle reported revenue of US$373.2 million, up 77.6% year over year, and gross profit of US$28.1 million, up 17.5% year over year, which the company links to stronger operating performance and liquidity supporting this decision.
Tokyo Lifestyle (Nasdaq: TKLF) reported fiscal year 2026 revenue of $373.2 million, up 77.6% from $210.1 million, driven mainly by an 86.9% increase in franchise and wholesale revenue to $346.7 million and a 15.7% rise in directly-operated store revenue to $19.8 million, partially offset by a 10.7% decline in online revenue.
Gross profit grew 17.5% to $28.1 million, while gross margin fell to 7.5% from 11.4% due to a higher mix of lower-margin franchise/wholesale. Operating expenses rose 29.6% to $24.9 million, improving to 6.7% of revenue from 9.1%. Income from operations was $3.2 million (vs. $4.7 million), and net income declined to $0.7 million from $6.6 million; Tokyo Lifestyle attributed this mainly to tax-related factors. Overseas sales accounted for 47.1% of revenue, and total assets increased by 48%.
