Gaminin was where I, Shakhawat Arafat, started — testing ideas, learning the market, and understanding what actually works.

But as I went deeper, I realized the name didn’t reflect the vision I had in mind. It felt too general and didn’t truly represent the anime-focused brand I wanted to build.

So instead of holding onto it, I made a clear decision to move forward.

That’s how Haninja came in — a name that feels sharper, more connected to anime culture, and more aligned with what I’m building.

Gaminin wasn’t a mistake — it was a step.

But Haninja is the identity I’m committed to growing.
