Hokubei Budogu is ecstatic about Kendo.
We want you to have a "Happy Keiko" with our products.
Introducing Hokubei Budogu.
Hokubei Budogu is an online Kendo shop based in USA (Hokubei means North America).
Founded by Yong Wook Back in November 2023, we retail high-quality Kendo equipment at competitive rates.
Thanks to the support from the Kendo community in the United States, we continue to expand daily.
We are very focused on importing a variety of quality shinai, bogu, keikogi, hakama, and other Kendo equipment.
Our goal is to give the Kendo community access to quality Kendo equipment at affordable rates, to enhance their Kendo experience.
RESELLER OF SEHYUN: KOREA’S PREMIUM KENDOGU MANUFACTURER.
We are extremely proud to be a reseller of Sehyun’s Kendo Bogu in the United States.
Korea has the 2nd largest Kendo population outside of Japan, and Sehyun has been at the forefront of designing, manufacturing, and improving Kendogu since 1978. Sehyun is favored by many past, current, and upcoming Korean National Team members, as well as beginners in the Kendo community.
We work closely with Sehyun to introduce their bogu line in North America: from entry-level to custom bogu.
