9. What We Strive For Message from CEO To the Ultimate Team of Exceptional Individuals Since our founding, we have pursued the philosophy of "creating Galácticos" without compromise, striving for both "exceptional individuals" and "teamwork." Each person hones their specialty and competes with teammates to improve. We're not a social club. When opinions clash, we engage in constructive criticism and exchange feedback for mutual growth. Yet once we step onto the field, we become One Team. We support each other across domains to achieve the same goals, and when results come, we celebrate together with high-fives. This is the kind of team we strive for. The journey toward realizing our mission is still long and challenging. We sometimes ask users to change their existing methods as we deliver cutting-edge technology and market value. Strengthening payment infrastructure, connecting with Western fuel and energy markets, further improving robustness and security—beyond that lies a massive market with a potential scale of 100 trillion yen. We believe that when world-class individuals who share our aspirations continue to challenge themselves as a team, no goal is too difficult to achieve. For those who resonate with our mission and values and wish to do Social Good work. For those who can enjoy major challenges while competing with excellent teammates. Let's forge together the colorful future that lies beyond our mission! 9 CEO Ryo Nozawa
