Monocrow, stylized as MONOCROW, is a brand in NEO: The World Ends with You.
It has a store at the Udagawa Back Streets run by Rintaro Nakagawa. A famous dancer Masanori is known for owning and wearing a large amount of MONOCROW clothing[1][2][3], and MONOCROW is often worn by his fans as well. Gen Kobayashi has stated that Susukichi is a fan of MONOCROW[4].
On the Chinese Zodiac, the brand represents the rooster; while crows are not roosters, they are both birds so it is one of the looser connections, only sharing an avian theme. The name combines the words "monochrome" and "crow", referencing both the brand's general black-and-white theme and the bird motif. The brand takes the role of Pavo Real.

Trivia[]

Kobayashi: I don't think the brands had been decided yet when I was designing the characters. That being said, while I hadn't settled on a specific brand to be associated with this character, I later realized that Susukichi must be a fan of Monocrow since he likes black and white. - ↑ Monochrome Watch info: "[...] Being able to use ShibuPay from your watch is a whole new level of convenience that you don't need to be a MONOCROWer to appreciate."
