It was the challenge of entrepreneurship in Shibuya 3 year of high school

- The Encounter of Kajiwara's and Shibuya?

From the home of the high school in Suginami Ward, he had come to play often in Shibuya. For the first time Shibuya also high school was visited as "business". When I was a high school three years, I was thinking entrepreneurs is considered to try to open the interior shop, I came by bicycle and "location is not only Shibuya" (laughs). Shibuya chose, it is perfect for a stylish image in the interior, further because I thought it was a city that the business is established. In Nari high school, I've been thinking a lot. So look for a vacant store around round and round on a bicycle, and "this area if the rent would be cheap", we come upon negotiations with the real estate agent decided to properties of Kamiyama-cho. Because it was appearance that I really a high school student at the time, is asked, "Do there is money for?" In the very beginning, "it is not". "Then parents are rich or?" It is said that, "No". While listening to the story, to know for the first time can take money far more than expected in what What with Yara deposit, was very surprised. It I was really ignorant (laughs). So, I think that's impossible to put out a suddenly shop, I was changed its strategy.

- So the next action?

When I was reading the "Shonen Magazine" in a high school classroom, in the eye at the end of this mail order page, I thought "This is it!". If the store is impossible, first I I thought should I Tamere money in mail order. So we asked an advertisement fee to the phone to Kodansha from the telephone of the school, was stricken again is said to be about 2 million yen 1 page. To save much, some years take of, and (laughs). Not give up, even it, per thought, "not take money if put out a shop on the street", I was aiming again, Shibuya by bicycle. So, because long-awaited free of the, but was looking for a place to think trying to do in front of the station in the middle, which is also now I think impossible Do it Once well thought out, was abandoned. So, as "still is difficult for high school students to entrepreneurs", barely noticed. I care-more quickly, But I is a story that (laughs).

And he left the company in the three years to notice Street, established the urban design system

- What kind of had a college.

From frustrated to entrepreneurship, to be successful as a manager is made to think "would be useless it is unless something strengths". So, I was thinking tries to stretch his or her strengths, quite, it can not be found. So, in one spree reading a book written by management, among the qualities that are needed in management, "strength," "mental toughness" was thought the kana Well become somehow. After, we encounter the word "no ability humans may be moving the people very well", which I was wondering if it is a good word. I did not have confidence in the leadership, "It is also said Oh Well captain, I'll work hard" in the club and the like, because there is move the person was pretty good. "Strength," "mental strength", "power to move people." Among think of what should be the will to extend the three at the same time, sports is attached I think that it is perfect, the last line was around the training camp of the various universities, went into the boat part enrolled in Tohoku University. So in order to put the confidence in myself, became obsessed with the aim of Japan and the Olympic Games,. Compared with the University Interscholastic experience I gather, because no match is absolutely ability, was a practice thought desperately in everyone and if win if. After all, I did not get used to Japan, experience think out together with everyone doing so, I think that really helped from out in society.

- Please tell us the history of the post-graduation.

Decided to only three years the company worked for social study, I got a job offer of leading companies. There, I felt the question that in one to think a lot, work to bear the brand of the big company. Because, if there is no brand in the future independent, Does not it seem to get in trouble not through the way until now, and. So while you hunt for a small company to the other, just, you the leading companies has become business-critical situation. Because not nail rarely, such as experience going rebuilding the company, I think, "This is gonna be a good experience", I decided to finally joined. But the company I also think it is important to extend the power of a good time, what a bad time, when put to the test. In fact, let me loaded with good experience in the company, and left the company in the three years to notice street, was established urban design system immediately after that.
