Background

In March 2012, after earning an MBA from the Graduate School of Finance, Accounting and Law, Waseda University, I joined M-mart Inc., the largest B2B platform for commercial food products in Japan. I worked in the Web Consulting Division, contributing to the company’s growth through to its listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers market. Following this milestone, I launched my own independent business.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I co-founded a video production company with trusted colleagues.

Today, I serve as Vice President of Crazy Inc., a company I co-established with a medical researcher who holds a Ph.D. from Tokyo Medical and Dental University and serves as a Visiting Scholar at the University of Southern California. Our operations are built on three pillars: Media Strategy, Video Marketing, and Entertainment Consulting.

1.Media Strategy

In May 2024, we entered into strategic partnerships with business producers and marketers from leading advertising agencies Dentsu and Hakuhodo. Leveraging their deep expertise in both domestic and international markets, we provide end-to-end support—from strategic planning to execution—helping clients address core management challenges. Through highly tailored, insight-driven proposals, we aim to maximize corporate value together with our partners.

2.Video Marketing

We collaborate with a talented collective of creators with extensive experience in the wedding video production industry. Our production framework balances both speed and high quality, enabling us to deliver video content that meets the diverse needs of our clients—across promotional, corporate, and creative purposes.

3.Entertainment Consulting

We have welcomed as our business advisor a chief strategist with over 40 years of experience in the music and entertainment industry. By partnering with stakeholders in broadcasting, film, music, anime, gaming, theater, and live events, we pursue innovative content creation and contribute to the continued growth and evolution of the entertainment sector.
