Meta Heroes, Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, Representative Director: Kazutoshi Matsuishi, hereinafter referred to as "Our Company"), will hold an experiential learning event "SDGs Learned Through Sushi" on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at "Hero Egg," a DX educational facility operated by Our Company, in collaboration with Kura Sushi Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, Representative Director and President: Kunihiko Tanaka, hereinafter referred to as "Kura Sushi"), which operates the conveyor belt sushi chain "Kura Sushi."
This event is a workshop that uses the familiar theme of "sushi" for children to learn about the currently worsening changes in the marine environment and food problems, incorporating the latest technology and play. On the day, in addition to gamified learning using Kura Sushi's conveyor belt lanes and models, the event will offer an experience that combines IT education and SDGs education, where children themselves will design "sushi of the future" using "3DCG" as the climax of the event.
**Social Background**
Currently, due to global warming, marine plastic problems, and the depletion of fishery resources, there are concerns that many of the fish we normally eat will become unavailable in the future. Amidst the calls for SDGs Goal 12 "Responsible Consumption and Production" and Goal 14 "Life Below Water," these issues are no longer distant concerns for children who will bear the future. To solve them, it is not enough to simply know the problems; the ability to create new value by utilizing cutting-edge technology (Society 5.0) is required.
Our company wanted to provide an opportunity for children to feel that they "can change the future with their own hands." In this collaborative event, we will update Kura Sushi Co., Ltd.'s SDGs education with Hero Egg's specialty, "experiential DX education." Instead of learning through difficult terms, we aim to foster a sense of ownership towards social issues through the output of 3DCG creation, with "fun!" as the entry point.

**3 Experiences Learned Through Games and Latest Technology**
This event offers three steps to learn by actually doing, rather than just listening.
Step 1: "In the Future, We Might Not Be Able to Eat Sushi?!"
Kura Sushi is promoting the utilization of fish that are less likely to be commercially available, to avoid wasting limited marine resources. Participants will learn through experiencing by watching videos and touching and interacting with realistic fish models in a fun way.
Step 2: Let's Play the Sushi Restaurant Experience Game!
Through a sushi restaurant game using the mechanical conveyor belt lanes actually used in stores and realistic sushi samples, participants will learn about the reality of food loss and methods to reduce it. After understanding various challenges, they will think about what they can do.
Step 3: Creative Experience "Let's Create Sushi of the Future with 3DCG!"
Each child will create "sushi of the future" using 3DCG. This program cultivates the "power to create" by shaping their free ideas in a digital space, such as sushi made with alternative ingredients or new forms of sushi.
Since our establishment, Our Company has been working on solving social issues using metaverse and AI, with the theme of "Society 5.0 × SDGs × HERO." In August 2024, we opened "Hero Egg" as a place where anyone can experience cutting-edge technology without economic constraints. At the Osaka-Kansai Expo in May 2025, we successfully hosted the "Metaverse, XR, AI Awards" which attracted 14,622 participants, and the "Disaster Prevention Expo," proving the fusion of education and entertainment through industry-academia-government collaboration. Following these achievements, this time we are accelerating DX education in the field of "food," which is closer to daily life, through a partnership with a private company.
Through this event, we aim for children to recognize the latest technology not as "just a tool" but as a "weapon to save the future." Hero Egg will continue to promote co-creation beyond regional and corporate boundaries, and continue to nurture "next-generation heroes" from Osaka who can overcome any difficulty with technology.
