Our company supports April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day for sharing dreams. This press release is the dream of "Kotora Co., Ltd."
Kotora Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Rikako Onishi) will participate in April Dream 2026, advocating the dream of "To support your present, so you can laugh and do your best work on your 100th birthday."
As the era of 100-year lifespans becomes a reality, the conventional wisdom that "careers end at retirement" is undergoing a major transformation. Since its founding in 2002, Kotora has deepened its conviction that "passion and environment, not age, determine a career" through its experience in connecting people with jobs in highly specialized fields such as finance, consulting, and IT. This dream is a declaration of that conviction to society.
Background of the Dream
For over 20 years, Kotora has supported optimal matching between companies and talent in fields including finance, consulting, and IT. Through this support, we have keenly felt that "age doesn't matter. What's important is a person's passion and whether there's a place to embrace that passion."
Every time we witness individuals continuing to excel on the front lines regardless of age, we renew this conviction. The value of "working" is not lost with age; with the right environment and opportunities, people can continue to grow and contribute to society at any age.
To increase the number of people who can laugh and do their best work on their 100th birthday—that is the raison d'être of Kotora Co., Ltd. and the wish embedded in this dream.
Role as an "Industry Hub"
Kotora aims to be an "industry hub (central axis)" that goes beyond the conventional framework of talent introduction. The core of the business transformation we envision for 2026 is to be the first company that client companies think of when embarking on new ventures or challenges, believing that "Kotora must have the optimal solution," and to become a partner that walks alongside them.
To achieve this, Kotora prioritizes building "the strongest team anywhere," deeply knowledgeable in each industry. We will expand the "small number ones" cultivated in the finance, consulting, and IT sectors into adjacent areas, evolving into an entity that can consolidate industry challenges and present best practices.
Creating "small number ones" throughout the company, where people think, "Let's consult them first," is our goal. This accumulation will strengthen individual career support and form a solid foundation for corporate growth support.
Age is irrelevant to career - Support looking 20 years ahead
Kotora Representative Onishi states: "Age is irrelevant in a career. What's important is the willingness to continuously acquire new skills for the future. We believe Kotora's role is to create an environment where both veterans and young professionals who are just starting to grow can continuously update their cultivated values and work with a 20-year outlook."
These words are also a message to everyone Kotora supports. Kotora's consultants sincerely face each individual's "present" at every career milestone, partnering with them to build careers where they can say, "That choice was a turning point," even 20 or 30 years later.
We want you to be laughing and doing your best work on your 100th birthday. With that single-minded dedication, Kotora Co., Ltd. continues to stand by your side today.
