ONE PERFECT THROW.

Refined precision.
Customizable feel.

A. F U T O – NEW SYMBOL “NE”

“NE” — The First Throw.

In the Japanese zodiac, “Ne” (子) represents the first sign.

A. F U T O expresses this symbol through the hiragana character “ね” (NE).

“NE” represents the beginning of something new.

The mark signifies that this is the first product in the A. F U T O lineup,
and the beginning of a new throwing culture.

The logo itself is constructed with a single continuous line, representing the importance of one decisive throw.

The sharp linear form reflects the cutting edge of the axe blade,
while also evoking the trajectory of a throw.

Every unnecessary element was removed, leaving only the essence of a precise strike.

The red circle in the background combines two symbols:

• the Hinomaru, representing Japan
• the Bullseye, the center of the target

From Japan to the world.
A brand that strikes the center.

That intention is embedded in the circle.

This philosophy is not only symbolic—it is reflected in the design of the head itself.

A stripped-down form.
A refined center-of-gravity design.
Blade balance engineered for straight flight and repeatability.

This is not a symbol alone.

It is a head designed for real competition.
