After taking his first bite out of the iconic food of the West, Akio Kitaura set out to make his dream of crafting the very best hamburgers in Japan come true. By remaining faithful to a philosophy that states, “If you don’t put your spirit inside, it’s not a good product,” his gourmet hamburger restaurants have been ranked the top in Japan for several years running and have been spotlighted in nearly 100 television and magazine features.

ABOUT AKIO KITAURA

Born in Tokyo, Akio Kitaura was unsure of his path after college until a chance visit to a hamburger restaurant in Australia sparked a passion that would shape his life’s work. He launched Brozers’ Hamburgers with his brother, aiming to blend the traditional American burger with Japanese craftsmanship. The name—a twist on brothers—was chosen to represent their partnership, with the Z symbolizing their determination to see their vision through to the end. From a single spot to five bustling locations, Brozers’ now spans multiple neighborhoods, all serving up his signature gourmet burgers. Akio is now a revered mentor and uses his experience and business philosophy to guide his employees to become successful restaurateurs of their own.
