沖島了太

CEO & Founder

Ryota has spent most of his adult life living between cultures — Japan, the Philippines, and across Southeast Asia. That lived experience isn't a resume line; it's the reason Hiragana exists. He doesn't theorize about Asia. He lives it.

FAQ

GOT
QUESTIONS?

Q1What kind of projects do you take on?

We focus on festival production, Japanese product export to Asian markets, and art/brand collaborations across Asia. If your project sits at the intersection of culture, experience, and commerce — we want to hear about it. We don't do corporate CSR campaigns.

Q2Which countries do you operate in?

Our base is Osaka, Japan. We operate actively in the Philippines (especially Siargao), and have networks across Southeast Asia. If you have a project in Asia, we can help you navigate it.

Q3Do you work with brands outside Japan?

Yes. We partner with brands from anywhere who want to connect with Asian audiences in a culturally genuine way. Our international experience means we can bridge markets that others can't reach authentically.

Q4How do I start a conversation with you?

Use the contact form below, or reach us directly on Instagram. Tell us about your project, your timeline, and what you're hoping to achieve. We'll get back to you fast.

Q5Do you do small projects or only large festivals?

Both. We've produced events at scale and worked on targeted art collaborations for specific brands. What matters is that the project is interesting and that we can genuinely add value to it.
