I know, it is possible to create named pipe in Bash under Linux, e.g.

mkfifo my_pipe

I was looking for equivalent under Windows, and I am not able to find any command.

Is is possible?

The answer is: NO

From WIkipedia:

A named pipe can be accessed much like a file. Win32 SDK functions CreateFile, ReadFile, WriteFile and CloseHandle open, read from, write to, and close a pipe, respectively. Unlike Unix, there is no command line interface, except for PowerShell.
