Who's behind Lootaku?

Introduction

Lootaku is powered by two long-time collectors and pop culture enthusiasts: Tobi and Sacha. What started as a shared love for Japanese games, figures, and trading cards quickly turned into a mission to build a space where collectors across Europe can feel seen, supported, and excited about their passion.

Tobi is the heart of the hunt. With years of experience sourcing rare items from Japan and the U.S., he’s the one who knows where to look when something seems impossible to find. A passionate collector himself, Tobi has a sharp eye for detail, a deep love for nostalgia, and a commitment to helping others complete their collections no matter how long it takes.

Sacha brings the structure, tech, and vision. With a strong background in IT and a deep involvement in the esports scene, he helped shape Lootaku not only as a store, but as a future support system for the competitive gaming organization Sentient Esports. His drive is to build something lasting, sustainable, and genuinely community-focused.

Together, they’ve created Lootaku with one goal: to bring rare collectibles and real passion together under one roof. Whether you’re chasing your childhood grail or just discovering the joy of collecting, they’re here to make the ride unforgettable.

Our 7 Core values

Lootaku exists because we are part of the community ourselves. We know the excitement, the challenges, and the passion behind every collection because we live it too. Everything we do is built on this shared love.

Authenticity
We are collectors first, sellers second. Every item we offer, every service we provide, comes from a place of real passion and respect for Japanese culture and its communities.

Passion

Our love for rare collectibles and pop culture drives everything we do. Whether it's finding a long-lost card or helping a fan complete their collection, we bring our full heart into every hunt.

Trust
We believe in honest communication, transparent sourcing, and delivering exactly what we promise. Our customers are part of our collector family, and trust is the foundation we build on.

Community
Lootaku is not just a store it's a gathering place for fans. We are here to connect, support, and celebrate collectors across Europe and beyond.

Persistence
No item is too rare, no dream too far. When you ask us to find something, we don’t give up easily. We chase leads, explore networks, and do everything we can to deliver what you’re searching for.

Growth with Integrity
As we expand from online, to local stores, to our shop on wheels we stay true to who we are. Growth is important, but never at the cost of the quality, care, and closeness that define Lootaku.

The road ahead &
Our future vision

Lootaku is just getting started. What began as a small but passionate project between two collectors is growing into something much bigger. Our dream goes far beyond the online store. We envision Lootaku as a living, breathing part of the collector scene in Europe.

In the future, we plan to open our own physical stores, starting in Germany and expanding across Europe. We want to create real spaces where fans can meet, trade, discover rare finds, and celebrate the culture we all love. Places that feel more like a home base for collectors than just shops.

But we’re also thinking on wheels. One of our most exciting goals is to launch the Lootaku Mobile Shop a shop on wheels that can travel to conventions, local events, and fan gatherings. It’s our way of bringing Lootaku directly to the community, face to face.

Every step we take is guided by the same values: authenticity, community, and shared passion. With your support, we’re building more than a business—we’re building a movement. And we can’t wait to take you with us on the road ahead.
