Shoyoroll Batch #11: The Count 450
Honoring the Roots of Jiu-Jitsu
Shoyoroll Batch #11: The Count is one of the most historically significant releases in the brand’s timeline. Launched on November 25, 2011, this gi was designed to pay tribute to Mitsuyo Maeda (1878), also known as “Count Koma,” the martial artist who introduced Jiu-Jitsu to Brazil and shaped the foundation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as we know it today.
With every purchase, Shoyoroll enclosed a fact sheet to educate practitioners on Maeda’s influence – keeping the spirit and history of BJJ alive.

Why This Gi Stands Out
The Count blends performance and storytelling – not only does it deliver high-quality construction suitable for training and competition, but it also symbolizes the roots of the art. Collectors value it for its rarity, historical meaning, and its place among Shoyoroll’s most memorable early releases.
