After graduating from university, I pursued a career as an actor and talent. However, after undergoing two surgeries for a herniated disc, I retired from the industry. Following this, I worked for a company focused on IT education for overseas professionals and later served as a programmer at a native mobile app game company.
After becoming independent, I began providing contract development services for web and app projects and offering marketing support. During this time, I had the opportunity to speak with the owner of a long-established wagashi (Japanese confectionery) shop about the current challenges they were facing. Through these discussions, I became strongly motivated by the desire to address the declining interest in wagashi among children and younger generations and to introduce wagashi to a global audience, where it is still less recognized compared to Japanese cuisine. This led me to start my own wagashi business.

After working in corporate sales at a trading company, I worked for a company in the Philippines in the service and customer service department, domestic and overseas sales department, and new business development department, supporting the opening of four OEM schools in Japan and overseas.
At the age of 30, I returned to Japan and joined a Vietnamese offshore development company as a Project Manager and Account Manager. I was responsible for supporting development projects and managing the Vietnam development base. In September 2024, I joined Enny Inc.

With over 20 years at Japanese corporation in the US., I engaged in business planning and development activities in B2B and B2G sectors. Since 2012, I served as the Director of a new business development center in Silicon Valley, promoting innovation through collaboration with the startup community. In 2020, I started my own consulting service, providing support to both domestic and international companies, primarily in the United States. One of my key focuses is supporting the development of food businesses between the US and Japan, helping numerous Japanese companies, such as sake, condiment, and confectionery manufacturers, enter the US market, and assisting US beverage and food startups in entering the Japanese market.
