(Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ryo Murakami) released “The Amazing System of Venture HR” (PHP Research Institute) by its CEO, Ryo Murakami, on September 1, 2025. This book systematizes the author’s experience in reforming the human resources systems of over 300 companies, from startups to publicly listed companies, including supporting the IPO of 14 consecutive companies. Using the “nine syndromes” hidden in human resources systems as a starting point, the book presents the pitfalls that growing companies are prone to and solutions to them, and thoroughly explains the “amazing system” for implementing human capital management. The book also introduces specific examples of seven companies that have actually achieved growth. It provides detailed descriptions of what happened on the ground and how the systems were put in place, providing readers with hints for applying these examples to their own companies. The book has been generating buzz even before its release, with pre-orders booming and already attracting attention from many human resources
professionals and executives. It contains practical knowledge that will be useful not only for venture companies but also for human resources professionals at major companies. Furthermore, with a recent increase in inquiries from regional companies, the book is applicable to companies across the country. In addition to appearing in the media, giving lectures, and participating in panel discussions, the author has also been actively receiving requests for training, lectures, and consulting ahead of the publication of this book, and his knowledge is attracting growing public attention.

What I’ve strongly felt is that a company’s growth depends greatly on its HR system. I’ve seen many times where the future of a company is determined not by sales or fundraising, but by its system design and management style.” This book systematizes this on-site knowledge and organizes it into “nine syndromes” that are particularly common during the growth process. It also provides detailed examples of seven companies that have actually achieved growth. Learning about the specific challenges and change processes in the field should provide insights for your own organization. This may sound like a story about a venture company, but in reality, large companies face the same problems. Systems become rigid, on-site staff become exhausted, and there are endless cases of companies missing the opportunity for change. Recently, we’ve also been receiving more consultations from regional companies, and we feel that how locally rooted organizations can incorporate human capital management is becoming a major theme throughout Japan. I didn’t write this book for HR professionals. I wanted executives, managers, HR personnel, and everyone working on the front lines to use it as a practical tool to think about how to grow their companies. I’ve always had the question in my head: “How can people and organizations work more freely, more powerfully, and more happily?” This book is one answer to that question. It condenses the feedback I’ve gained from my work in the field to date, while adding perspectives necessary for companies of the future. I hope this book will inspire you to take a new step forward in your organization and career. Any organization, whether it’s a venture, a major company, or a regional one, can create an amazing system. Let’s start that challenge together.” Author Profile Ryo Murakami Representative Director of kokonotsu Inc. and Latte Inc. (now REX Inc.).
