Who we are

Japanese | Former HR Head | Ex-Chicago Dreamer
In October 2004, I landed alone in Chicago, chasing a dream to grow my HR career. I didn’t know a soul. Since my English wasn’t strong, I was laughed at in meetings. I couldn’t even figure out how to open a bank account without a financial record.
One day, walking down a hallway feeling completely defeated, a stranger smiled at me and said, “Smile!” That simple kindness changed everything.
That chapter of my life shaped who I am today—and gave me a whole new perspective.
Now I’m back in Japan, and I’m here to support anyone ready to take a courageous step forward—through practical advice, HR insight, and cross-cultural know-how !
