About HaiAato

Hi! My name’s Hannah (or Haimaru to my friends online) and I am the creator of HaiAato.

What does ‘HaiAato’ mean? Well, it’s Japanese. It’s basically the first particle of my name(which means ‘yes’) and ‘Aato’ is art. So if you ever see this companies name anywhere, it means ‘We say yes, to art!’

What is this blog here for? I want to share all the information I can get on what otakus(or fans of Japanese-cartoons) like. And to help those creative people out there who want to make their own fan items. It is my personal mission to help all those fans out there to get what they paid for. That’s why every-once-in-awhile I will be posting up items that otakus are wanting to sell online. They will usually be home-made or used.

What is the company’s future goals? I hope to someday get this blog off of free hosting and onto it’s own web address. And then get it set up for it’s own selling, buying, and bidding host website (like Ebay or Etsy.) But that’s a long way off, since I’m starting out with nothing. So I have to ask for donations for now. So please, if you want to see this happen in the future, please donate to the company and help out.

Who is Hannah?

I’ve sold on Ebay and Amazon since I was 16 years old; and sometimes even earlier than that. Since I’ve had an interest in Japanese Cartoons I’ve bought Dvds, video games, plushies, and making fan-costumes and fan-art; it started to accumulate after a couple of years. So eventually I had to sell some of the things I wasn’t using, or was grown-out-of. The products that have sold the most in the years have been my Pokémon Game Boy Advanced and DS games. Had a lot of fun playing them, and now I know others are having fun with them too. But some other products, that I think don’t always get what they are worth, would be the fan-made stuff: cosplay and artwork. I don’t know about you, but I work pretty hard making my costumes and art believable; if you walk up to it and recognize the character it was made after, right away, then that person has done their job. That’s what this organization is for: those hard-core anime fans that have old costumes that don’t fit anymore, or don’t have room for their merchandise and want to make some money from it.

Thanks for getting to know me and the company! Hope we’ll have lots of fun discussing topics together!

Until then!
