Throughout my career, the core of everything I have pursued has always been real enterprise and the people who drive it. I began my journey in Yokohama, where I founded my first company and grew the real estate business alongside trusted colleagues. In the years that followed, I became involved in the motorcycle industry as well as multiple business successions and growth support initiatives. Every success and every setback has been a lesson learned on the ground- experiences built through direct engagement with people and their work. FMS is an independent real-enterprise investment firm, one that does not rely on external capital. We make investment decisions based not solely on numbers, but on the people who stand behind each business. By taking the time to listen, support, and move forward together, we aim to achieve sustainable, long-term growth. From Yokohama to Japan, and from Japan to the world. Rooted in our local community, yet always looking outward, we strive to create new value through the power of real industry and to build strong businesses that can be passed on to the next generation. This is the mission of FMS, and it is the belief I hold most deeply. With unwavering conviction and a strong sense of responsibility, we will continue to invest in businesses and open new possibilities together with those who lead them.
