Genki? What’s Up? 30
As we step into 2026, I’ve been reflecting on themes that feel especially relevant this year: the energy of the Year of the Horse, my commitment to strengthening US-Japan collaboration, and the fascinating world of Japan’s mascot culture where even tax offices have characters!
I also have some exciting news: I’ll be speaking at the 3rd Compliance and Leadership Forum on January 23rd. If you’re interested in practicing your Japanese skills while learning about talent development at Japanese companies in the U.S., join us! There will be prizes too!
