Balancing spreadsheets while serving boba at their anime-themed cafe, Gaby and Bill Clemons turned their lifelong love of anime into a business with Kuma Rama on Oct. 5, 2024.

While continuing their accounting careers, the couple serves boba drinks and anime-themed treats alongside shelves stocked with anime collectibles, cosplay items and treasures that celebrate the vibrant world they've loved since childhood.

What's special about it? The multiconcept business brings a touch of the couple's favorite fandoms to life with anime characters, cosplay costumes and anime-inspired gifts. Kuma Rama immerses fans in Japanese pop culture while offering a cafe with various coffee and boba tea options, as well as a space where anime fans can meet and hang out, and binge-watch anime on their screens while playing board games.

Quote of note: “We have gotten close, and not just us with our customers, but between [our customers], like friendships have been made, and that's one thing that I did not expect but I am so happy about,” Gabry Clemons said.
