Bringing the teamwork I learned in football to my insurance work.

Whatever the situation, I never give up on people and I always face them. That attitude is the one thing I don't change.
From an interview at my previous company, about building a team

Years of chasing the ball

I have devoted myself to football. I grew up in Sagan Tosu's U-15 and U-18 teams and signed a professional contract at 17. In 2011 I was also registered with the top team as a second-type player. I then went to Ryutsu Keizai University, where I won the 2014 Prime Minister's Cup All Japan University Football Tournament, setting up the opening goal in the final.

From football to insurance

Football taught me that a team is stronger than any one person. Each player does their part, and nobody gives up on a teammate. With that mindset I chose life insurance as my career. I won first place in the new-hire campaign in my first year, received several awards as I kept facing customers, and have qualified for the Court of the Table (COT) of MDRT, a global association of insurance and finance professionals, for four consecutive years since 2022.

To you, now

You don't have to decide on insurance without understanding it. We check it together in plain words, and after you sign up, please come to us whenever your life changes. If your advisor changes, we hand over everything before we contact you. I listen with a lifelong relationship in mind. Besides insurance, I now also handle home-related consultations in Cloud Estate's sales and management division.
