| Childhood Dream |
I was a child who drew pictures all the time in my childhood. I wanted to be a manga artist, fine artist, or other artist who would amaze people with their self-expression. I didn't go to a general high school, but instead chose a specialized art school and went to an art university, so I think I was consistent in that. |
| Influential People, Things, and Events |
As we get older, our sensitivity to what we can accept grows, so I feel like the people, things, and events that influence us are always changing. Among them, the two who were particularly inspiring were "Leonardo da Vinci" and "Steve Jobs." When you try to overturn a cause, you'll be surrounded by enemies at first and feel like your heart is burning out, but I believe that the key to success is combining unyielding courage, international education, and ideas born from your own philosophy, and I use them as inspiration. |
| Motivation, Goals, and Ideal World |
In 2017, I was working for an AI venture company, and through my work and colleagues, I learned about what AI can and cannot do. At the same time, I became interested in the meaning of human existence, and I began to think that in the future, humans' mission will be to turn things that are not numbers into numbers. When I first started the company, I narrowed down the field to "communication skills" and conducted joint experiments with the University of Tsukuba under the pretext of "visualizing personality and character." Currently, under the team name "curioph," we have changed the field of visualization and are developing services to support corporate activities in line with next-generation consumer behavior based on "human interests, concerns, and curiosity." As consumer values become more diverse, companies do not just exist to sell things to consumers, but also respect and invest in the lifestyles and curiosity of consumers. In other words, we aim to create a world where otaku activities become a market #OtakuToEarn. |
