Mayamada At MCM Expo Recap
Nov 1st
This weekend saw our first appearance at the MCM Expo in East London. For those that don’t know about it, MCM is the biggest celebration of all things gaming sci-fi anime, manga, cosplay and general geekiness in the UK.
MCM is about the same as the New York Comic Con, but the cost of travel is much cheaper for us
We took the mayamada team down for three days of non stop standing on your feet, but it was so worth the lower back damage because we had an amazing time talking to loads of friendly and passionate people as well as make new friends and fans along the way.
Here are some of the best moments from the show…
We visited MCM in May but now that we had a stall we got to skip the lines.
Even though the area was massive, it didn’t take too long to find our spot.
Once we set up our stall we were off and running!

Hot Lunch Photoshoot
Jul 31st
What a day! I always look forward to doing photoshoots for new tees as each one is something different and our photoshoot last week was no exception.
You’ve seen the story behind the show and the characters featured in the design…now we can tell you about the t-shirt itself.
The day stared off at a nice pub called the Lemon Tree. They were kind enough to let us take over the upstairs for hair and make up. The models Andrees and Riyonn were expertly made up…
…while the rest of us waited…
Out to Lunch: Part 2
Jul 13th
We’re back with another character from our upcoming show Hot Lunch, the mayamada show about a slick crew of sushi thieves out for payback…and a free meal.
This week, allow me to introduce you to…
Tancho
A borderline narcissist and the brains of the crew, Tancho loves himself almost as much as Taishi loves cooking.
As Taishi is not one for details it’s his that makes sure every job goes to plan, and likes to make it known to the rest of the team.
He has a gentlemanly manner with a sarcastic edge and tries his best not to get his clothing dirty.
Tancho was the hardest to recruit to the team but eventually convinced joined the crew by the Taishi’s persistence and chance to be part of such an ambitious mission.
We’ll have the last member of the team featured next week with the t-shirt available to week after. We’re currently gearing up for the photoshoot coming up later this month. Stay tuned for more details on that in the next couple of weeks.
In the meantime, let us know what you think of the characters in the comments or on our Facebook page.
Out to Lunch: Part 1
Jul 6th
Work continues for the upcoming release of a new t-shirt design later this month for our show Hot Lunch: about a slick crew of sushi thieves pulling heists in the name of revenge.
We’re continuing our collaboration with Pinali, who is doing amazing work to help us bring the mayamada world to life.
We’ll be profiling the three stars of the show, one a week until the t-shirt is released at the end of the month.
Hot Lunch centers around an aspiring chef and part-time thief. Humiliated after he is dumped out of Japan’s most prestigious cooking institution, he assembles a crew of top thieves with a plan to hijack food from best graduating chefs of the same institution.
So without further delay, allow me to introduce you to….
Taishi
Taishi means “ambition” in Japanese and is the main protagonist of Hot Lunch. A petty thief turned criminal mastermind with a passion for sushi, the charismatic leader is out for revenge and will not let anything get in his way.
His usually cool temperament is only ruffled when there been a mistake on a job, or in the kitchen!
Look out for details on the next member of the team next week…
