The much-anticipated revival of Esquire Japan is here! Hearst Japan is proud to announce the release of Esquire JAPAN No.1 April 2025 on Friday, February 28.

Since its inception in Chicago in 1933, Esquire has become a global icon, currently distributed in 20 regions worldwide. Its slogan, “Man At His Best,” has been reimagined for Japan as “a man who enjoys creativity, discerns the essence, and embraces a sense of beauty.” The Japanese edition retains Esquire’s timeless journalistic spirit while embracing renewed creativity.

Throughout its rich history, Esquire has strived to be more than just a symbol of social status or fashion. It has championed a journalistic ethos driven by an insatiable curiosity about the world and a relentless pursuit of the essence of things. These core values have transcended borders and generations. As we relaunch the Japanese edition, we are committed to preserving this legacy, blending it with a renewed vision.

The first issue features actor Yokohama Ryusei on the cover, who wears Dior Men’s Summer 2025 collection. Don’t miss the stunning 10-page fashion portrait and exclusive interview in the revitalized Esquire Japan, on newsstands now.
