Yes, it is me - The Nambu Hobo / Tensei Sensei. We are operating under a new name following a C&D. Please look at the FAQ for further details.
Company Rebrand FAQ
1) Why the name change?
Our company received a cease and desist (C&D) alleging that our previous name was an infringement on their trademark. Rather than choosing to get into a legal battle over it that could have taken months or possibly longer, I opted to just change the name to something so unique that we won't ever have to worry about going through this again, at least for some time.
2) Has the ownership structure changed?
No - the ownership structure is exactly the same as it previously was. The only thing that changed was the name - nobody was added or removed from the roster, and their percentages in the company haven't changed either. Your favorite Nambu Hobo is still the head honcho, and that won't ever change.
3) Any new plans for the company?
Yes! I decided to shift our focus away from production manufacturing, to instead focus on concept development, and prototyping. This will allow me to have more time to dedicate to developing cool projects such as the Tensei, without forcing me to stand over a machine for 12+ hours a day. The focus for the future is going to be in getting designs from concept to prototype, then rely on established manufacturers to get us the production parts that we need.
With that being said, expansion is on our horizon. If you wish to partner with us to build the production machine shop we need, get in contact with the team!
4) What's the status with the Tensei?
We're still facing difficulties with a couple of the vendors we chose to work with - some giving us quality control problems, while others aren't delivering their parts when they were supposed to. With that being said, we have almost everything we need to wrap up the first batch, save for a few critical parts. Outside of that, at the time of this FAQ being written (05 / 2026), we are awaiting receipt of our amended Federal Firearms License (FFL) reflecting the new company name. We are unable to "operate" as an FFL until the new license arrives.
