Why I Built Kotoli
I’ve always been a tools and productivity enthusiast. Long before Kotoli, I was the person testing every new app and obsessing over workflows, curious how the right software could change the way a team works.
That curiosity turned into years of experience helping international SaaS businesses enter and grow in Japan. Working closely with those companies, I saw what actually worked, what didn’t, and why. The Japan SaaS Thrive Program isn’t built on passion alone. It’s built from that accumulated, real-world experience.
SaaS is what I’m most experienced with, and it’s genuinely what I’m passionate about. The right tool, used well, doesn’t just make work faster. It changes how people work and live, and Japan is one of the most exciting, most misunderstood markets to bring that change to.
