Who we are

Jun Inoue, CEO of Third Inc., founded CVS Leadership Institute along with Tatsuo Hagiwara who was a Management Consultant at Deloitte Consulting in 2004 to educate and develop entrepreneurs in Japan. Close to 1000 Japanese college students participated from 2004 to 2019 and many successful entrepreneurs came out from the program. This is one of the CVS groups about ten years ago (find us in the photo!). Tatsuo Hagiwara (our father) became a Christian pastor and currently working for a church in Hawaii. We approached Jun and he gave us an opportunity to intern at his AI company last summer. It was so much fun and I would like other American students to have the same experience. Since we speak Japanese and we know Tokyo well, we would like to help you enjoy your time in Tokyo.

My name is Noah Hagiwara and I will be one of the staff member taking care of you. My hobbies are eating sushi and watching anime (Some of my favorite’s are One Piece and Bleach). I also like playing tennis and I am the #1 singles at my high school. My favorite subject in school is computer science and would like to major in that when I get into college. When you come I can show you all the cool places in Japan from anime shops to delicious restaurants! Let’s eat out different Japanese food during your stay in Tokyo! I’m excited working with you!

My name is Hannah Hagiwara and I will also be one of the staff members taking care of you. I have many hobbies such as art and I also love anime, My favorites are HunterXHunter, Haikyuu, and A Silent Voice. I also love singing and I am a chorus member at Los Angeles Children’s Chorus. I also enjoy tennis and I serve as a captain and singles one of our tennis team. We were also able to win CIF division 5. I enjoy helping others and hope to make use of that in this and in my future career. I am very excited to work with you in the future.
