Daiki Kato, Representative Director

"Building a world where effort is rewarded"

I spent my twenties at Panasonic, based in Thailand, developing emerging markets across the Middle East, Africa and India. In my thirties I moved to Toyota Tsusho, launching new businesses and handling M&A in Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia. From 2018, as President of Toyota Myanmar, I built an organization together with local young people.

Meeting so many sincere, hard-working young people on the ground, I came to feel something strongly: "Is the Japanese side truly preparing opportunities worthy of their effort?"

Companies in Japan carry many concerns about hosting international talent, too — early turnover, communication gaps, cultural friction. From our on-the-ground experience, we are convinced that most of these can be prevented by delivering solid "training" before departure.

That is why Kiraboshi was founded as a training company, not a placement agency. Before departure, we thoroughly develop Japanese, discipline, work ethic and job-specific skills through 1,500 hours of live-in training. That resolve is what we put into our core message: "work-ready talent is built before arriving in Japan."

We are serious about building — from the foundation of education — a system where Japanese workplaces can genuinely say "we're glad we hired them," and where the lives of young people abroad grow richer too. A system where both sides win.
