THOUGHTS ON FOUNDING
We started the business with the aim of contributing to the promotion of local industries by utilizing Okinawa's abundant natural resources. Led by Professor Teruya from the University of the Ryukyus, we advanced the research and development of nobiletin derived from Shikuwasa, substantiating its value as a high-performance material through analytical data. As a result, we were recognized as a venture originating from the University of the Ryukyus. Based on these achievements, we differentiate ourselves from other companies with unique technologies originating from Okinawa, and we are developing products with a truly Okinawan brand identity. By revitalizing the cosmetics industry in Okinawa, we aim to contribute to the local economy and the overall industrial development of the prefecture.
Born in Tokyo, graduated from the Graduate School of Engineering at Oita University. After working for a functional materials manufacturer, founded Ryukyu Beaute Inc. in 2017.
