Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by Tokyo Lifestyle Co., Ltd. covers the month of March 2026. The report discloses the entry into two material definitive loan agreements involving the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Tokyo Lifestyle Limited ("TKLF HK"). Both transactions are classified as related party transactions involving Mr. Mei Kanayama, the Company's representative director and controlling shareholder.
Key Financial Metrics and Debt Obligations
The filing details two new debt instruments executed in early 2026:
- HK Loan Agreement: TKLF HK borrowed HK$7,500,000 from Mr. Kanayama. The loan carries an interest rate of 4.35% per annum with a term from February 1, 2026, to January 31, 2031. Repayment of principal and interest is due in a lump sum on a mutually agreed date, with annual interest payments required.
- Subordinated Loan Agreement: The Company borrowed JPY300,000,000 from Tokushin G.K., an entity owned by Mr. Kanayama and his family. The loan carries an interest rate of 2.0% per annum with a maturity date of January 31, 2031. Principal and interest are due in a lump sum at maturity, with monthly interest payments required. This debt is subordinated to all other financing obligations of the Company.
