Troublemakers is a Tokyo-based magazine that tells stories of what it calls 'misfits' or creatives who don't fit the usual template and whose thoughts and actions might be a catalyst for each of us to also think about ourselves.

The first issue of Troublemakers we meet Remy Nitta, an Osaka-based American trans woman; Maya Sekine, a Japanese indigenous people Ainu culture advocate; Christian Cohle, an Irish singer-songwriter; Mio Kojima and Maya Ober, co-directors of a Switzerland-based intersectional feminist platform Futuress, as well as German photographer Tamara Eckhardt’s photo documentary about an Irish minority group called Travellers and Japanese artist Taro Karibe’s essay on his depersonalisation.
