Takuma has some japanese roots, not only with the name of the brand and some of its products, but also with Takuma's founder and designer, Cyril Coste: together with a part of the R&D and production teams, he is actually based in Japan, where these animals can be seen migrating from and towards northern regions.
Humpback whales are the natural inspiration when in the innovation and engineering process on the Kujira foil, as an element of biomimicry.
In the process of developing the Kujira foil, Takuma made the decision to have a strong commitment to the environment’s protection.
