I was born in Miyazaki, located in the southwestern part of Japan.
It is a city that embodies naturalism and diversity and is famous as one of the best surfing spots in the world.
I spent my childhood in Miyakonojo City, a city rich in nature and historical buildings, where the famous Ryoma Sakamoto visited on his honeymoon.
My ancestors were the lords of a samurai family called Hagimoto Yashiki, and they had many samurai with them at the end of the Edo period.
Perhaps inheriting the belligerent DNA from my samurai ancestors, I devoted my youth to wrestling.

After graduating from high school, I moved to the Kanto area and immersed myself in a speedy and exciting daily life with highly insightful people.
By the time I turned 20, I was traveling all over Japan for work. As I traveled around the world and met executives who transformed every minute and second into value, I became strongly motivated to make a significant change in society within the limited time of my short lifetime, and at age 25 I started my own advertising agency.

By chance, I had many opportunities to help local Miyazaki venture companies, and I was able to meet wonderful friends who have their roots in Miyazaki.
Baristas, pastry chefs, chefs, engineers. They were young, confident, and ambitious.
Working with them, we opened a cafe in Miyazaki, our roots, with the hope of spreading the products, culture, and space created by our friends in Miyazaki to the populace.
We had both failures and successes, but we named the cafeteria "GHOST" with the message, "Let's live each day better than ever so that when we die, we won't regret it.
Everything from branding to store creation is handmade. I remember working with GIN, who was studying coffee in Melbourne, all day long painting concrete on the walls.

Our dream is to expand this brand throughout Japan and even the world, and "go global from Miyazaki.
Nothing would make us happier than to create a virtuous cycle of "enthusiasm," especially for those with passionate aspirations and ambitions, by constantly providing fresh and endearing inspiration to all the people and products involved.
We have been and will continue to challenge ourselves.

From the moment we are born, we start walking toward death.
Therefore, we do not know when we will die.
We live our lives to the fullest now so that we can die at any time.

We have never and will never stop challenging ourselves. Until the
day we become GHOST.

私の出身は宮崎県都城市。
フリーランスの母親と公務員の父親の下に生まれ、幼少期は大自然に囲まれた志比田町、青春時代を宮崎市大淀で過ごしました。

高校を卒業して関東に渡り、視座の高い人々とのスピーディーで、エキサイティングな毎日にどっぷりと浸かりました。
二十歳を過ぎる頃には日本各地を出張する日々。世界を飛び回り1分1秒を価値へと変換するビジネスオーナー達と相対する中で、
「短い一生、限られた時間の中で、社会に大きな差分を残したい」と強く考え、25歳で広告代理業を始めました。

ご縁あって地元宮崎でスタートアップ企業をお手伝いさせて頂く機会が多く、宮崎をルーツに持つ素晴らしい仲間たちと出会う事ができました。

バリスタ・パティシエ・シェフ・エンジニア。それぞれの道で腕を磨いた精鋭ばかりで、若く自信に溢れ、それぞれが大きな野望をメラメラと燃やしていました。

そんな仲間たちの創るメイドイン宮崎の商品・カルチャー・空間を、地元のお客様にポップにお届けしたいと考え、夫々のルーツ源流である宮崎でカフェテリアをオープンしました。皆一様に失敗と成功を繰り返してきたけど、「これまで以上にいつ死んだって後悔しない日々を過ごそう」とメッセージを込めて、GHOSTと名付けました。

ブランディングから店舗作りまで、コンセプトもコンセントもひとつひとつ0から拵えたお店です。

我々の夢は、このブランドで日本中、延いては各国に商圏を広げ、『宮崎から世界に仕掛ける』ことです。関わる全てのヒト・モノ、特に熱い志や野望を持った挑戦者達へ、いつも新鮮で愛溢れる刺激を与え、"熱狂"を生み出す好循環を創る事ができたなら、これ以上の幸せはありません。

これまでも、これからも、挑戦を続けます。

GHOSTになるその日まで。

代表取締役
