Zekko
Zekko is a gear brand in the Splatoon series. Zekko clothing has a 5× chance to roll Special Saver and a 0.5× chance to get Special Charge Up as a secondary ability.
Zekko's clothing theme appears to be a mixture of streetwear and formal clothes, but mainly clothing that relates to skate-punk fans, such as a cap worn the opposite way, a hoodie and lo-top shoes. They also produce checkered shirts, letterman jackets and hawaiian shirts adorned with logos of the brand.
According to @SplatoonJP, Zekko produces street-style fashion for young Inklings.[1]
In Splatoon 3, Zekko merged with Firefin to form Z+F.[2][3]

Quotes
Splatoon
| “ | Zekko's clothes are known for a rough-around-the-edges look that's popular with the skate-punk crowd. A lot of up-and-coming Turf War players wear this gear brand into battle! | ” |
Splatoon 2
| “ | Zekko is known for its casual wear aimed at the street and surfer crowds. They make everything from varsity jackets to flip-flops - driving fresh trends by pairing headgear like baseball caps with button-down shirts. | ” |
| “ | I hate the sea but love the breeze. The sandy shore I will endure Just for that brisk, zephyrous tease. |
” |
Splatoon 3
| “ | One more update - a report from the Fashion Desk on Zekko! Known for stylish, functional, street-savvy gear, Zekko isn't just for skaters. It's for skaters, punks, skate punks, crust punks, gutter punks, punk punks, skater skaters, and grandmas. That's NOT a typo - my nana can ollie. | ” |

Trivia
- Alongside clothing, Zekko seemingly sells bikes too, as bikes with Zekko's logo are displayed in Splatoon 2's Arowana Mall and parked in Inkopolis Square.
- This could also be the reason Zekko produces and sells bike helmets.
- Zekko may also sell cars, as cars with the Zekko logo often drive by on stages such as Starfish Mainstage.
- In Splatoon, there is no Zekko gear with Bomb Sniffer, Haunt, Ink Resistance Up, Opening Gambit, Run Speed Up, Special Saver or Stealth Jump as a primary ability.
- In Splatoon 2, there is no Zekko gear with Drop Roller, Special Saver or Stealth Jump as a primary ability.
- In Splatoon 3, due to them merging into Z+F, Firefin and Zekko are the only brands to not receive any new gear.
