Billed as “a new type of recruitment site run by students, for students,” it offers a unique platform where students can proactively engage with companies, gather information, and interact with them, for example by visiting companies themselves to interview them and disseminate that information.

This initiative, which started in Hakodate, has been well received, with other regions reaching out to take part, spreading to Nagasaki and Shimane, and is expected to expand even further in the future. Making the Osaka Expo more accessible to people in regional cities. Let’s have fun together! Mr. Mizuki Muro, one of the executive officers of kakki Inc., has had a personal connection with Ishitomi Property Inc. for some time and was involved as a member of the Expo Musashi Solo Exhibition Secretariat, which led to kakki Inc.’s sponsorship of this “Worldwide Musashi Solo Exhibition.” Muro himself is from Kameoka City, Kyoto. “My parents’ house is in what’s known as a marginal village. The number of vacant houses around here is increasing rapidly, and I’ve always been concerned about what to do about this area, which will disappear if things continue as they are.” Interested in involving people in revitalizing such areas, he accepted an invitation from his friend of 10 years, Kazutaka Yoshida (CEO of kakki Inc.), to join the company as an executive officer in 2024. As it was decided that MUSASHI would exhibit at the Expo around the same time, the two became a connection. “Even though it’s called the Expo in Osaka, unlike the Kansai region, it’s far away for people in regional cities, and the excitement isn’t as strong. As kakki Inc., we wanted to participate in this solo exhibition and support MUSASHI, so that people would feel closer to him,” says Muro.

Mizuki Muro Discover young people like MUSASHI all over Japan and support their growth. MUSASHI and Muro met about two years ago. As someone who has witnessed his growth up close, Muro says, “It’s amazing how much he’s grown to realize his solo exhibition at the Expo. Since meeting Nakai-san (CEO of Ishitomi Property Co., Ltd.) and seizing various opportunities, he’s met many people, gained experience, and has become a truly dignified presence. Seeing MUSASHI like this gives me courage, knowing that people can change and grow so much.” From the perspective of regional
revitalization, there’s no doubt that the growth of each individual ultimately leads to the development of the region and companies. I’d like to support Kakki Inc. as a company that discovers talented young people like Musashi all over Japan and supports their growth. 《Sponsor company information》 ■Name: kakki Co., Ltd. ■Representative: Representative Director Kazuki Yoshida ■Head office location: Tokyo Port City Takeshiba 8F, 1-7-1 Kaigan, Minato-ku, Tokyo 105-7508 ■Established: November 2, 2020 ■HP: https://www.kakki.group
