LET’S TAKE YOUR BUSINESS FURTHER

Shunya Ohira

Founder of KOTOLI

Hello, I’m Shunya.
I’m passionate about helping businesses get unstuck—fixing issues, removing roadblocks, and uncovering new paths to sustainable growth.

I founded KOTOLI to guide businesses through the complexities of the market, so you don’t have to navigate it alone. Entering and growing in a new market isn’t easy, and I know the challenges because I’ve worked with over 1,000 clients facing the same struggles.

My goal is simple: to connect with you and help your business achieve lasting success.
