Our Team

It is the thoughts and smiles of the adults closest to children that shape their future.
We want to increase the number of amazing, inspiring adults.
To make that happen, we’ve developed our own unique programs — and we want as many people as possible to experience them.

Once you try it, you’ll understand.
We are the changemakers of early childhood physical education.

Thanks for checking out my comment page — you must already be a big fan of Liebe!
I’m really proud of what we’ve created.
In Japan, we’ve seen our products bring smiles to kids and adults alike, and that makes us so happy.
Now, I want to share what we do — the fun, the environment, and the passion — with the rest of the world. Wanna be part of it?

I’ve visited more than 50 countries.
In each of them, I encountered so many differences.
We all come from different backgrounds.
We eat different foods.
We speak different languages.
Everyone is different — and everyone is wonderful in their own way.

But when it comes to children, we understand each other.
As educators, we speak the same language.
We’re always looking to connect with others who share the same passion.

There is a growth ahead of fun.
We believe that the foundation of a child’s development lies in the feeling of fun.
When children are fully engaged in play, they naturally learn, feel, take on challenges, and grow both in body and in heart.
We value their emotions and creativities, and we are committed to supporting children around the world in growing through joyful experiences with physical activity

Of course, the adults create that environment.
We want to make a world filled with educators who play more than children, enjoy more than children, and get inspired through their own joy.

I run KSA Basketball School in Kizugawa City while also working with Liebe.
Teaching basketball to kids every day, I’ve realized that whether children like or dislike moving often starts in early childhood.
I do my best with Liebe to help every child enjoy being active.
Can’t wait to have fun together!

Alongside my work with Liebe, I started my own business called Hama Loop, where I teach bouldering and other activities.
Nowadays, more children are not fond of exercise, so I work to help as many kids as possible discover how fun moving can be.
Using my experience in caring for children with disabilities, I aim to help every child shine.
I’m also a father of two, working on my listening skills with my daughter’s rapid-fire Kansai dialect stories!

After graduating from university, I joined a major city bank, where I worked in corporate loan sales during the week while pursuing athletics as a weekend athlete.
In my third year as a working professional, I set a new personal best in the triple jump and placed 5th at the All-Japan Corporate Championships.
At the age of 30 in 2013, I won the World Masters Athletics and decided to leave the bank to pursue the dream of becoming the world’s best.
I transferred to a foreign-affiliated life insurance company, which provided an environment more compatible with my athletic career.
In 2019, at the age of 35, I won a gold medal at my first World Masters Athletics, while also achieving a top 25 performance among approximately 4,000 employees in business.
In June 2025, at the age of 45, I became independent to pursue breaking the M45 (ages 45–49) world records in the triple jump and long jump during the 2029 season.
I also took on the role of a “Liebe Supporter,” aiming for global expansion of the Liebe Method.
I continue to run and jump as an athlete who wishes to inspire people to believe in their potential and take on new challenges.

It has already been over ten years since I was first captivated by the fun movement-based play of Liebe, and I now realize what a long journey it has been together.
I began my career as a teacher at a training school for childcare professionals, and before I knew it, I found myself abroad in Beijing, China, working as an instructor.
I still remember the taste of the Peking duck I shared with Coach Afro at that time... Now, I am back in Japan, engaged in education and research at institutions that train childcare professionals and teachers.
In the end, I believe the strongest people are simply those who love to move their bodies—and I aspire to nurture exactly those kinds of people.

With the mission of “Transforming the way lawyers work!” I am engaged in activities to enhance the appeal of the legal profession.
I want children and students to learn about the work of lawyers.
Troubles can be hidden in everyday life—but with knowledge and someone to consult, everything will be fine! I aim to deliver approachable and enjoyable law to everyone.

I first encountered Liebe around 2017, and since then I have been in charge of its branding.
Meetings with Coach Afro—where unforgettable catchphrases such as “Riberu,” “Mammal,” and “Apron Thief” were born—are still fondly retold as legends in the village. My specialty when it comes to humor is physical prop comedy.

I want everyone to enjoy and treasure the present moment through fun movement play.
With this wish, I work mainly in Shimane and across the Chugoku region.
I am also a father of three, keeping my teeth healthy by brushing after every meal and continuing my lifelong challenge of having zero cavities.

I love the saying, “Where there is fun for both adults and children, growth will follow!”
I want to share the joy of movement play with many people—both kids and grown-ups.
With this dream, I made a fresh start, changing my career from physical therapist to movement play coach.
I am a big eater who loves food, and also a father of three boys.

I love to fully pursue fun that comes straight from the heart!
I work mainly in western Shizuoka, creating movement play time that gets both children and adults moving—mind and body.
On weekends, I continue to grow as an active beach soccer player, running barefoot across the sand.
I am the oldest of four siblings, and my wife often teases me when I get a little full of myself.
