*Co-founding director Keigo Namiki*
We would like to thank everyone for their efforts in accepting this capital. It all started when Mr. Kaneko, who is active in Silicon Valley, introduced us to a professional sports team in Shizuoka Prefecture, and we decided to collaborate with Nandora. Since then, with the passion and drive of everyone on the Japanese side, including Mr. Kanazawa, multiple projects have been put into motion, leading to this capital alliance.
I heard that Yaramaika Fund’s “Yaramaika” is a Hamamatsu dialect word that means “Let’s just try!” In the future, we will continue to work on revitalizing Shizuoka’s sports and local community with the spirit of “Yara Maika” while leveraging each other’s strengths! * Alliance & Sales Manager Kenta Osuga*
* *Former Azul Claro Numazu (currently J3) players, coaches, and management staff*
We are very pleased with this collaboration with Hamamatsu Iwata Shinkin Bank. Additionally, as someone who was born and raised in Shizuoka, I couldn’t be more pleased to receive capital from Yaramaika Fund and to collaborate with Hamamatsu Iwata Shinkin Bank.
Through this collaboration, we aim to improve sports in Shizuoka and revitalize the local community. Personally, I am also prepared to take this as an opportunity to give back to the sports world in Shizuoka, so I will go beyond conventional wisdom and bring innovation to the sports world in Shizuoka and Japan!
