Profile of the Site Owner

Energy Drink-kun
Currently residing in Tokyo, Energy Drink-kun is a worldwide energy drink enthusiast who travels abroad every month to research the local energy drink scene, not just in Japan but across the globe.

Since 2013, he has proposed ways to enjoy energy drinks not just as a beverage but as a “hobby,” and this idea has firmly taken root. He is now recognized as a "serious hobbyist exploring the world of energy drinks" and, in the wider public’s view, as an "energy drink critic and expert who has experienced energy drinks worldwide through his own feet and taste buds".

Career

• In 2001, while in the USA, Energy Drink-kun first tried “Red Bull,” which was only known to him as an “overseas nutritional drink,” and was surprised to find it carbonated!
• While living in the USA, he drank Monster Energy and Rockstar almost daily as a substitute for nutritional drinks.
• In June 2013, after reading an article from a major media outlet online, he was shocked to see Japanese energy drinks being treated as a joke, so he launched the website "Energy Drink Mania" to convey the real world of energy drinks.
• In January 2014, he began his SNS activities, which significantly increased the number of people who enjoy energy drinks as a hobby.
• He has contributed to and been interviewed by TV shows, magazines, and online media outlets many times.

About the Site

Before launching "Energy Drink Mania," there were no detailed websites about energy drinks. While there were many online articles that either sensationalized the dangers of energy drinks or treated them as a joke for entertainment purposes...

So, in June 2013, he established an energy drink information website, and in 2014 began engaging with SNS. Instead of treating energy drinks as weird or something to mock, he succeeded in increasing the number of people who genuinely enjoy energy drinks as a hobby. Currently, Japan has the largest population of energy drink enthusiasts in the world, and the number has even increased to the point where it might be considered too many.

The content on the site includes information about energy drink scenes both in Japan and abroad, flavor reviews, brand explanations, and more. He takes pride in the fact that many people use it as a bible for energy drinks. It could even be said that the world of energy drink enthusiasts wouldn't have come to fruition if Energy Drink Mania hadn't been created.

After several years of operation, with the help of manufacturers, media, and the many fans supporting the site, its scale continues to expand.

Ingredients-related Information

Energy Drink Mania is not a medical professional or researcher, so it does not focus on pursuing detailed information about ingredients or their effects. This is a site dedicated to enjoying energy drinks and their culture.

However, due to the nature of energy drinks, it is necessary to provide information about ingredients, and for reference and standards, the following public institutions are consulted:
Japan: Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Food Safety Commission
USA: FDA

Personal blogs by doctors may present biased information, so they are not used as references. If you want to know accurate information based on evidence, it is recommended to refer to the latest information from the public institutions listed above.

On-site Experience

In today’s convenient online shopping world, it is easy to purchase overseas energy drinks, but simply receiving items at home isn’t satisfying, so Energy Drink-kun tries to buy them locally whenever possible. For more details, please check the Energy Drink Travel page.

He originally encountered and started drinking energy drinks while living in the USA, through the worlds of HIP HOP and extreme sports. Now, he enjoys visiting various cities abroad to buy energy drinks.
