ROTARY
REBORN

The rotary-swapped GT3 “REVENANT”, back from the dead—in flowers, on your back.

SLIGHTLY UNHINGED.
EVERYONE’S INVITED.

A retired racer, a crew of car-obsessed misfits, and a habit of taking jokes a little too far. Cars, films, streetwear. Same people. Same questionable ideas.

REVENANT

THE ROTARY
RETURNS.

A Porsche 911 GT3 with a Mazda 20B three-rotor heart. REVENANT means “one who returns”: Mazda's rotary spirit, brought back through modern engineering. We love both. Apparently, leaving them alone wasn't an option.

ポルシェに、マツダの魂を。

STUDIO JOKER

FILM & CREATIVE

WE MADE
THE FILM, TOO.

If we're going to do something this ridiculous, we might as well get it on camera. Studio JOKER makes films from our world—and helps other people bring theirs to life.

FILM / PHOTOGRAPHY / CREATIVELET’S MAKE SOMETHING

IT STARTED WITH
ONE SENTENCE.

The idea was cheap. The rest wasn't.

THE REST OF THE STORY

I'm GAKU. Former racing driver, still a complete car nut. One day I said, “What if we put a rotary in a Porsche?” No sponsors. Just a sentence I couldn't take back.

I’m pretty sure everyone around me was thinking, “What the hell is he talking about?” Fair question. I had no sensible answer. I still don’t.

Porsche or Mazda? GT3 or rotary? We wanted the engineering, history, and pride of both in one car. We call it art. Art is a great word. Makes the whole thing sound planned, doesn’t it?

That’s the spirit of JOKER. A crew of car-obsessed misfits in Japan, putting far too much effort into things that make us laugh. Cars, films, streetwear. Different ways to let more people in on the joke.

If someone halfway around the world laughs, starts a conversation, or decides to build their own ridiculous thing, that’s the whole point.

Welcome to the JOKER store. Let’s play with cars more. That’s what all of this is for.

レースは引退した。車バカは治らなかった。GAKU

MORE CARS. MORE STORIES.

ALL THE WAY TO BRAZIL.

More cars. More ridiculous plans. More people to share them with.

In Japan, the joke goes: push the pedal right through the floor—all the way to Brazil. Don’t overthink the geography.

アクセルはブラジルまで。地理の話は、また今度。

WELCOME TO THE JOKER STORE

FROM JAPAN, WITH QUESTIONABLE IDEAS.
GOOD CARS.
BAD INFLUENCES.

The car is just our way of saying hello. Come laugh at what we're building, show us what you're driving, or give us the idea we definitely shouldn't try next. Let's make the car world a little more interesting. Together.
