For me, it all began with soccer.
I was born in Osaka, began playing soccer in the fourth grade, and later joined Gamba Osaka, believing in my destiny as a J-LEAGUE professional. The reality was different, however, as I touched the pitch in only two official matches. When the team told me my services were no longer needed, I felt as if my entire life to that point had been negated. All I had ever done was play soccer.

And in my anguish, I accepted an invitation from my father to transition into his reuse business and join the business world.I didn't know the first thing about the business, but I came to believe that getting cut from professional soccer was a fortunate turning point in my life.

For someone with zero business experience, the reuse business was very exciting. Reuse items may be worthless to the person who no longer needs them, but their value is multiplied many times over when delivered to those in need. It was very simple, interesting, engrossing to work. What, exactly, do we mean by the word”value”?

That is a difficult issue that I still study and seek to answer every day. We believe in the possibility to create a positive cycle through our business. This possibility applies not only to objects, but also to people.Having been cut from a professional soccer team, I can look back objectively to know that I just wasn’t good enough. But I see my experience as an opportunity to develop myself and live with consciousness. Helping people focus on what is most important is the driving force to happiness in myself and society.
