Founded in 1995 by Kent Hsu, a former bookstore owner who pivoted to merchandise to share his passion for manga, Great Eastern Entertainment is a pioneering American manufacturer of officially licensed pop culture collectibles. Originally gaining traction with authentic metal Naruto headbands and wall scrolls, the brand has evolved alongside the Western anime boom to translate over 200 properties into tangible goods. GEE is best known for its extensive roster of character-driven soft plush figures, graphic apparel, and enamel pins, all designed to let fans physically connect with their favorite animated worlds. The brand’s aesthetic is inherently vibrant and referential, capturing the specific visual codes of classic series like Dragon Ball and modern hits like Chainsaw Man.
