Genshiken ITB merupakan Unit Kegiatan Mahasiswa (UKM) di bawah naungan Institut Teknologi Bandung berbasis kekaryaan yang bergerak di bidang industri kreatif dan studi budaya visual modern, yang mencakup (namun tidak terbatas pada) studi literasi, studi ilustrasi, studi dan pengembangan game, apresiasi dan komposisi musik, cosplaying, fansubbing, serta scanlating. Nama Genshiken ITB sendiri terinspirasi dari serial manga populer bernama serupa karangan Kio Shimoku, di mana para pendiri Genshiken ITB kala itu berangan untuk mengembangkan industri kreatif berbasis kekaryaan yang notabene belum sepopuler sekarang.
Sejak pertama kali resmi menyandang status UKM terdaftar pada 25 Juni 2005, Genshiken ITB senantiasa memberikan yang terbaik dalam berinovasi dan berkontribusi aktif dalam pengembangan kultur visual modern secara positif, baik lokal maupun internasional. Beragam karya dan acara-acara besar telah berhasil ditelurkan oleh staff-staff Genshiken ITB dari generasi ke generasi, antara lain penampilan Hatsune Miku MMD Concert berskala besar secara perdana di Indonesia (pada event Gen-Reon 2013) dan eksibisi komik berskala multikota Pasar Komik Bandung 4 feat. Gen-X (yang terselenggara berkat kerjasama Pasar Komik Bandung dengan Genshiken ITB). Selain itu, Genshiken ITB juga secara reguler bertindak selaku partisipan dalam berbagai event bergengsi bernuansa industri kreatif, semisal MangaFest UGM dan Toys & Games Republic.

Genshiken ITB is a craftsmanship-based student activity group underneath Bandung Institute of Technology’s jurisdiction whose activities and motions are directed toward the creative industry and the studies of the modern visual culture, which includes (but not limited to) literacy studies, illustrational studies, game studies and development, music appreciation and composition, cosplaying, fansubbing, and scanlating. The name Genshiken ITB itself was partly derived and inspired by a popular Kio Shimoku manga of a same name, of which the founding fathers of Genshiken ITB had a vision to aggrandize the world of craftmanship-based creative industry which wasn’t as popular as it is now back then.
Ever since Genshiken ITB first retained its permanent activity group status on July 25th, 2005, Genshiken ITB always aims to deliver the best upon innovating and actively contributing towards the development of the modern visual culture in a positive manner, be it in a local or an international scale. Over the years, various encharming artworks and multiple prestigious events has been successfully conjured upon by Genshiken ITB staffs – for example, Indonesia’s first large-scale Hatsune Miku MMD Concert (live at the Gen-Reon 2013 event) and the intercity comic exhibition Pasar Komik Bandung 4 feat. Gen-X (which was done thanks to Pasar Komik Bandung’s cooperation in coexistance with Genshiken ITB). Furthermore, Genshiken ITB also participates regularly in various prominent creative industry-related events, such as MangaFest UGM and Toys & Games Republic.
