Founded in 1999, Named for a Grandfather

Teruo Artistry is a lifestyle clothing company based in California and distributed throughout the state. Teruo, Inc. was founded in 1999 by Brian Watters, Timothy Watters and Koji Sakai, and the partners named the company after the Watters brothers' grandfather, Teruo Iyama. A family name over the door is a deliberate choice for a lifestyle label: it gives graphic-led clothing a personal story, and it commits the founders to a name they cannot treat as disposable fashion branding.

The company's reach came through placement rather than a store chain. Teruo Artistry clothing appeared in the feature films Thirteen and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, as well as many prime time television programs, record albums and music videos. In 2007, two shirts were featured prominently on Montana's hit music video Rock On (Do the Rockman), an MTV Jam of the Week. Screen placement works for a graphic clothing line because the garments are seen worn, in motion and in context - the same way a customer would wear them.

Commissioned Design Work

Alongside its own line, Teruo Artistry took commissioned design work. The company was commissioned to do designs for Grammy Award winning band Ozomatli, for rock group OneRepublic, and for KIIS-FM, the Los Angeles station described as the number two radio station in the country. Commissions of that kind are a second business for a small clothing company: the same design skill that fills its own catalog is sold to bands and broadcasters who need artwork and merchandise with an audience already attached. Between film and television placement and band commissions, the definition records a California label whose visibility consistently came through music and entertainment.
