Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day for announcing dreams. This press release represents the dream of "Takumi Project Inc."

In 2026, Takumi Inc. will celebrate its 25th anniversary.
Our history, built step by step on trust over a quarter-century, is now evolving into a new form.
Daiki Ohashi, the representative of Takumi Inc. and leader of the entertainment division "Takumi Project Inc.," will turn 55 this June.
It might be an age often said to be for 'playing it safe.' However, it was precisely after entering his 50s that Ohashi successively brought his dreams as an 'expressive artist' to fruition, such as his regular appearances on BS12's "Shining Time," in "Safari" magazine, and on radio.
On the occasion of April Dream on April 1st, we declare a "dream."
Our dream is "to create a society where all people in Japan, regardless of age, can seriously challenge their dreams, again and again."
【From 25 Years of Trust to the Courage to Challenge】
Because Takumi Inc. has faithfully maintained its operations for 25 years, our words now carry "responsibility." Alongside this, Ohashi believed in his own potential and plunged into the world of expression. What he witnessed there were people who put a lid on their dreams, saying, "It's too late now."
"In life, it's never too late. What's needed is the 'courage' to believe in yourself and continuously update who you were yesterday."
We aim to convey this truth, which Ohashi has proven through his own activities, to all of Japan through his persistent "example" and words.
【Three Visions Drawn by Takumi Project】
"To continue being a challenger": Daiki Ohashi himself, bearing 25 years of company history and turning 55, will demonstrate his continuous challenge on the front lines of expression. By sharing the process of this challenge, he will light "a spark to take a step forward" in someone's heart.
"Leadership that continues to show the way": Ohashi, at 55, will continue to take on new challenges on the front lines of media, embodying that "adults are the ones who speak of dreams and make them come true."
"To continue being a presence that ignites the flame of challenge": Even at (approaching) 55, to continue updating "a new self" on the front lines of media. By continuously sharing his life as it is, he vows to be a "catalyst" that reignites the flame in the hearts of those who might put a lid on their dreams due to age.
We will continue to circulate "the air named passion" throughout Japan, enabling people to look forward and pursue their dreams.
