12-year-old entrepreneur opens anime store

Man, this gave me an ear-to-ear grin this morning - a 12-year-old kid in Cape Girardeau, Missouri has opened his own anime store. That just r0×0rz…I hope he makes a killing.

Enter Yumazu on Broadway Street in Cape Girardeau, and you step into Umar Brimah’s world. In fact Umar says Yumazu translates into his name in Japanese. “Anime’ is a Japanese cartoon. In anime’ the eyes, clothes, and hair looks different. There’s a lot of expression in anime’ not used in American cartoons,” he says.

The tycoon in the making - gets -animated - himself - talking about the hobby he’s now turned into a business venture. “When I watch anime’ - there’s a lot of stuff in the shows I like to purchase. The only place you can find them is on the internet. And when you get them on the internet, you pay twice the price you pay normally - and also pay shipping so I was thinking, bring a store to Cape, so people wouldn’t have to pay all that money to get what they want,” Umar says.
