Associate Masashi Nagahori
During my student years, as I traveled around the world, I was deeply impressed to see Japanese products and works widely loved, and I experienced firsthand the way Japanese culture beguiles people. Motivated by this experience, I have been involved in services that distribute Japanese content, including anime, both domestically and internationally, aiming for the further spread of Japanese culture. However, in recent times, as "diversity" is advocated, I paradoxically feel the world moving towards a single standardization. In such a monochrome world, what truly matters is the radiant uniqueness that sets us apart from others. I am convinced that startups originating from Japan, with their distinct history and culture as a backdrop, can provide that innovation. Together, let's lead to a new dawn, bringing accelerated growth and brilliance to a world becoming uniformly colored!
