CEO Statement

Akumasa Nishio, CEO of TricoLogic Inc.

'Although I did not grow up in a privileged household, my mother worked multiple part-time jobs day and night to send me to tutoring school, which taught me the joy of learning. I have personally experienced how education can transform lives.

Precisely because we are in the AI era, the value of uniquely human abilities—such as thinking for oneself—is rising. I am delighted that through this broadcast, many people will learn about Miraishiki's initiatives, born from this conviction. Please tune in.'
