[Focus on the Internet Industry and Community] Kenji Kasahara, mixi's founder, has been interested in entrepreneurship since his college days. He names those like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, who set out on their own and grew companies to amazing heights, as his inspirations. Sensing great potential for the Internet industry in the late 90s, he created a job recruitment information website that started the company on its path. Later, around the time social media began in the US, he convinced his employees to launch a new social networking service called "mixi" in 2004. This new community for connecting people through their interests was well received and has been used by more than 20 million users. With our "User Surprise First" philosophy, we strive to continue developing communication services that exceed the expectations of our users. [Tens of billions in investment to accelerate new businesses] Since 2013, we've continued to expand our business areas with the goal of creating new avenues for communication. Monster Strike continues to boast explosive popularity and, in 2019, we entered into the sports domain. We are investing tens of billions of yen in each of these businesses, with plans to grow them into flagship enterprises.

In total, we have 1,041 employees including those at our consolidated subsidiaries. And while we come from all walks of life, we're united with an openness of mind and a shared passion for the company's vision. [Exciting company-wide events] Throughout the year, we hold events that bring the whole company together (even if physically apart), like our awards ceremony mixi Awards and our annual Year End Party! We also have seasonal events that celebrate Japanese traditions like Hanami (cherry blossom celebration) and Tsukimi (honoring the full autumn moon).
