IVAN HOUSE Officially Launches Corporate and Organizational Training Program “Beyond the Labels”

General Incorporated Association IVAN HOUSE was established on April 24, 2026, and officially launched its website today, May 15, while beginning full-scale provision of its corporate and organizational training program, “Beyond the Labels.” The organization systematizes the lived experience and influence of its representative director, IVAN, who has spent more than 20 years communicating from the front lines as a model and television personality, turning that experience into a force for social change. With the vision “Beyond the Labels: Toward a society where every individual can fully express their uniqueness beyond conventional frames,” IVAN HOUSE will deliver multifaceted initiatives including LGBTQ+ diversity training, consulting, wellness events, and content production. Representative Director IVAN is from Nara Prefecture and has Mexican, Spanish, and Japanese roots. A trilingual speaker, IVAN entered the fashion industry as a teenager and worked as a male model on runways in Japan and overseas, including Paris Fashion Week. For many years, however, IVAN struggled with the gap between the role expected by others and the self IVAN wanted to express. In IVAN’s twenties, IVAN came out as transgender and has since lived life authentically. IVAN HOUSE was established to return more than 20 years of lived experience as an LGBTQ+ person and social influence to society in a more organized and sustainable way. In Japan, LGBTQ+ people are estimated to account for about 9.7% of the population, while the coming-out rate in workplaces remains around 16.8%. This means many people feel forced to give up working as their authentic selves. At the same time, companies often feel uncertain about how to engage, making opportunities for dialogue difficult to create. IVAN HOUSE aims to generate change from both the individual and organizational sides by verbalizing lived experience and providing psychologically safe spaces for dialogue. The organization’s main businesses are LGBTQ+ Diversity and Wellness. The LGBTQ+ Diversity business centers on “Beyond the Labels,” a training and lecture program for companies, organizations, and educational institutions based on IVAN’s own life and experiences. It also provides consulting and advisory services designed to foster psychologically safe organizational cultures. Programs include basic training for all employees, management risk training for managers and executives, D&I strategy advisory for leadership, and planning, production, and distribution of videos, events, and media content related to LGBTQ+ and diversity themes. The Wellness business offers experiential workshops and events designed to “update the mind through appearance,” based on IVAN’s unique walking techniques and posture guidance cultivated over more than 20 years of modeling, including Paris Fashion Week. Offerings include walking and posture improvement workshops, mindfulness and dialogue events focused on improving self-esteem, and videos and content related to mental and physical health. Looking ahead, IVAN HOUSE aims to use the knowledge and revenue gained through its activities to establish a “safe house,” also called IVAN HOUSE, where children can safely explore who they are. One of the organization’s medium- to long-term visions is to return the changes created in individuals and organizations through training and lectures to children as a place where they can find refuge and bloom. IVAN commented that they have spent their life searching for and creating a place where they could bloom and shine. Now, IVAN believes their experience can help create such a place for someone else. IVAN HOUSE will not only support corporate organization-building, but also aspires to become a source of hope and a safe house for children who, like IVAN, want to bloom and shine. General Incorporated Association IVAN HOUSE was established on April 24, 2026. Its representative director is LIERA MANUEL IVAN, commonly known as IVAN. The organization is located at MY Presence 001, 6-16-5 Hatanodai, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo. Its businesses include LGBTQ+ diversity training and lectures, consulting and advisory services, wellness workshops and events, and content planning, production, and distribution.
