About Us
Shogun Imports
Shogun Imports is a family-owned business dedicated to helping our clients select the perfect Kei vehicle from the Japanese marketplace and providing all the information and services needed to ship a Kei vehicle from Japan directly to your doorstep. Unlike our competitors, who do not provide total cost estimates and expect you to find your own customs broker and auto transport service, we have everything prepared for you, making it the easiest way to import a Kei vehicle.

what our clients say about us
Definitely recommended Shogun Imports if you're planning to get a Kei truck. Derek has been very helpful and his communication is top notch, keeping me update on the progress of the Honda Acty.
Absolutely phenomenal experience dealing with Shogun! I was very hesitant at first, a lot of unknowns and not many people have experience importing. Derek and his team answered every question I had, were very thorough.
I bought a Subaru Sambar using Derek, Akiko, and Luke at Shogun Kei Trucks as the Japanese agent. Their service was complete and thorough. They were attentive, and the vehicle arrived just as they promised.
“ Amazing not only recommend but required service. These people will fight for you night and day, trying to find whatever you need. "
Shogun Imports opened in 2025 and does not pressure clients for reviews. Below are reviews from our previous family real estate business for foreigners in Japan.
