Thank you for visiting iMobile!
I’m the Founder and CEO of iMobile
and have spent the last 25+ years building startups and new businesses in Japan
and around the world.
I was first attracted to Japan when
I was 17 years old as an American Field Service exchange student from my Oregon
State high school. Everything was aesthetic and I was impressed with Japan’s
deep history, unique culture, and the kindness and welcoming nature of the
Japanese. I loved Japanese manga and design and sometimes stayed glued to the
TV to watch “Samurai Drama” – or weekly TV series about heroes from the Japan
of yesteryear. I wanted to try something that I had never done before so I took
up Japanese sword fighting, or Kendo too. When my too-short exchange program
was over I vowed to some day return and learn more about Japan – even hoping to
learn the language too.
During college and graduate school
I continued my relationship with Japan and began to feel that I wanted to give
something back to the country and the people who so warmly welcomed me. I began
starting different businesses and tried my hand at early forms of Apple
Macintosh based desk-top publishing to help local Japanese shops and parallel
imports of US products so stores could increase their sales to a growing US
culture hungry youth market. After working in marketing and management
consulting for large companies in Japan and the United States, I decided to
help Japanese small businesses begin using technology to catch up to the big
companies who were using new internet, online commerce, and mobile technologies
to maintain their growth and dominance.
To that end I started iMobile KK in
May of 2000 to have more impact and help more small businesses.
Over the years our mission has
basically stayed the same:
To help small business owners (and
entrepreneurs) achieve their dreams by providing IT and Marketing support to
them.
But our service offerings have
expanded from Web Services, to Hiring Services and Healthcare related services
too. And now AI is becoming a critical part of every service we offer.
While we have been focused inside
Japan, many Japanese companies are realizing that they need to go global and
also find better ways to welcome the huge influx of tourists who now visit
Japan so regularly.
With our deep appreciation and
understanding of the strengths of Japan, we hope to create new services that
help not just Japanese companies go overseas, but also begin to help companies
and entrepreneurs in the United States and other countries achieve their
dreams, while using some of the great aesthetic that Japan has become famous
for.
With our 25th anniversary
in 2025 we will launch our successful Wepage.com free web site creation service
with a ton of new Japanese cool designs, but for US consumers and companies to
begin using.
We also have other exciting
services, plans and collaborations underway which will showcase to the world
more of what Japan has to offer but also help visitors to Japan enjoy their
time here too.
Mahalo again for visiting iMobile
and I look forward to hearing from you and learning how we can support all of
your dreams to come true!
