Comment from Mr. Yasuhiro Yamakawa:
I resonate with the vision of XANA JAPAN, which aims to provide “another place” and “another self” to everyone. I firmly believe that it will contribute to solving the 21st-century challenges of “loneliness, boredom, and anxiety.” Leveraging entrepreneurship, which I have been promoting through evangelism activities primarily in the United States, and combining education and entertainment, I want to reach out to more people with XANA JAPAN, utilizing my global connections built through living in eight different countries.
Let’s involve people interested in the metaverse and together create social change towards a “better world”!
