Nakama Toys is a mom and pop store based in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood. While our storefront opened in July 2014, our original blog started in 2011 to share toys we loved. We chose the name “Nakama” because it means friendship in Japanese, a theme we attempt to replicate with each customer. The original blog focused on Japanese collectables for the overall quality of the figures. Bryan is a huge video game and anime collector. Mary is an anime fanatic and a sci-fi nerd.

mom and maker, becky, hears “can we make a craft?” all the time. she was spending too much money and effort coming up with crafts, and the quality of store kits was lacking.
