Staple Inc., Executive Officer / Shiomachi Kikaku Inc., CEO I took a leave of absence from Keio University to travel around the world, then joined Staple after graduating. In 2020 I moved to Setoda as Development Manager for SOIL Setoda. After launching Aoshima Beach Village in Miyazaki, I opened Kankitsu Stand ORANGE inside Onomichi Station in July 2022. Since August 2022, I’ve served as CEO of Shiomachi Kikaku, leading neighborhood development in Setoda. I’m a big fan of beer and mushrooms, and I love running—though I’ve been slacking lately.
