Chief Director | Takeshi Nakano | Sonpo Japan, Inc. (Formerly) | Auditing Group | | My favorite thing is to walk in a strange land, learn its characteristics, and come into contact with the people that live there. It is my hope that the foreigners in Japan and the Japanese people can support each other, live well, and create a vibrant society. |
Vice Director | Teru Takahashi | Human Resources Service Company | Consultant | | I will continue to support those who wish to learn, gain knowledge, and grow, especially foreigners. At the same time, we, who provide this support, also receive many insights and discoveries from the foreigners we assist, which lead to a sense of fulfillment and purpose in life. I aim for our organization to be one that consistently delivers what those in need require, from those who can provide it. |
