Within the world of anime, manga, and science fiction, Japan has created a unique culture with historical depth and outstanding skill. Tokyo stands out as the country’s most exciting cultural mecca, attracting artists and fans. Within Tokyo, Gofa is one of the most cutting-edge galleries.

Meaning Gallery of Fantastic Art, Gofa is co-created by artists and fans as a place for their fantastic spirits to come together. It cultivates and supports outstanding artists of the same generation regardless of method of expression, expanding and developing creative realms for these artists in the 21st century.

Many of the fantastic scenes within anime, manga, sci-fi that have swept the world are purely Japanese inventions, existing as both entertainment and valuable Japanese cultural assets. Now, however, their culture and value are going beyond borders of race, language, and nationality, and are enjoyed as globally shared assets.
