Studio Yoshimi Co., Ltd. was founded in 2013 in Asakusa, Tokyo, a district renowned as a hub of Japan’s footwear industry.
Before establishing the company, founder Teppei Yoshimi spent over a decade working with both domestic and international shoe manufacturers and brands, gaining extensive experience as a shoemaker (pattern maker) and product planner.

Through these experiences, he cultivated expertise ranging from shoe design and production to product planning. As the culmination of this knowledge and craftsmanship, he launched the original brand “RENDO.”
"RENDO is a men’s shoe brand founded in 2013 in Asakusa, Tokyo.
Aiming to create shoes that truly fit the Japanese foot beautifully, we have been involved in everything from crafting lasts to pursuing a comfortable fit that blends classic design with modern lifestyles.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic drastically changed the way we live, and people began seeking greater comfort.
We asked ourselves:
""Can we adapt the expression of shoes to the modern age without changing their essence?""

The answer came in the form of TEP_P, a brand that offers the joy of walking through a fresh, contemporary expression, distinct from RENDO."
