Message from the CEO

Someone every community can rely on.

I began my career at Ajinomoto Co., Inc., working in corporate sales and a new D2C business, before joining Ignition Point Inc. to support companies in developing new businesses.

During my corporate years, camping brought me to Chiba every weekend. There, I met remarkable people, places, and local ways of life—and saw them gradually fading.

I founded PLAYBACKERS Inc. to apply my experience in new business development, together with the power of AI, to local challenges.

I continue to work on site, reviving dormant local resources.
