 | As one of Japan's top Kendo martial
artists, Kazunori declined full scholarships at Japanese universities in
order to pursue his dream of studying international business in the United
States. He did so at the University of California at Los Angeles, the
University of Hawaii at Manoa, and Hawaii Pacific College over a period of
six years. |
| Upon returning to Japan, he
co-founded JDB Network as the International Division of the well-known and
reputable health and beauty product manufacturer, Hanix Co. Ltd. He later
incorporated the division as an affiliate in the JDB Group, becoming its
founding president. |
| Thanks to increased revenues from
new imported product lines sourced by JDB Network under Kazunori's
direction, sales at Hanix Co. Ltd. roughly doubled during the next four
years and then again during the subsequent four years. The company
continues to grow at a rapid pace, despite the difficult domestic economic
circumstances that have plagued its competitors. |
| Kazunori became president of Hanix
Co. Ltd. in June of 1999. His success in the consistent sourcing and
successful introduction of new-to-the-market product offerings has earned
him and his award-winning companies an unparalleled reputation in Japan as
well as international recognition for innovative marketing. |
