Kiraku | Ideas to Reimagine Japan

Profile

I am a 27-year-old man from Wakayama City, Japan.

I graduated from Tottori University.

I call myself a “Nippon Creator”—someone who comes up with ideas that can change how people see Japan!

For a long time, I struggled to find my path. I took two gap years while preparing for university entrance exams and went through a period of depression.

During university, my ideas were dismissed, and the stress took such a toll on me that I found it difficult even to walk.

After graduating, I was unemployed and had no savings. I had to start from scratch in every sense.

Even so, I wanted to bring the ideas I had carried in my mind for years to life. In spring 2025, I began teaching myself web development.

With only a limited amount of savings, I made steady progress using free AI tools to help create images and other materials.

The results are the projects you can explore below.

For now, I am taking things at my own pace, building my own little corner of the web as I work toward returning to professional life.

“I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.” — Walt Disney

I want to bring this idea to life through Japanese history and culture.

My dream is to inspire excitement through what makes Japan unique!

I currently run six websites.
