Tofu Records, established in Santa Monica, California, is the first record company dedicated to JPOP/JROCK in the US. "Tofu" carries two meanings, the more obvious one being "bean curd." The second meaning comes from the kanji "to" meaning "east" and "fu" meaning "wind." Put together, "Tofu" comes to mean the "Wind from the East." Tofu Records aims to provide JPOP/JROCK at affordable prices to those who live outside of Japan. For more information, please visit www.tofurecords.com.
