I'm fundraising for the U.S.-Japan Council, a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening U.S.-Japan relations at the people-to-people level.

About Me

Hi, I'm Ryota. I have been a member of the U.S.-Japan Council and a Tomodachi alum for over 5 years. Since taking part in the Japan American Student Conference back in 2013, I've been more committed to strengthening friendships between people in Japan and the United States. I have found a second family in the U.S.-Japan Council, and hope to see the Council continue to be a model organization for how a successful bilateral people-to-people relationship looks. The world needs more people-driven communities like USJC which promotes cross-cultural bonds across generations, professions and political beliefs. I believe that people across cultures coming together, learning about the other side is the very first step towards a more compassionate world. I'm excited for you to become a part of the USJC community as a donor. Thank you for your time and consideration.

More Info

For the past seven decades, a strong U.S.-Japan relationship has been revered as a deeply valuable asset by both countries, no matter the state of global affairs. 2020 has brought forth new challenges - a global pandemic, economic strain, and political shifts.

The scope and pace of change like this can be overwhelming. But USJC is harnessing these forces to energize us and innovate our thinking. We are committed, now more than ever, to investing in the people who will continue to strengthen and prioritize our partnership.  

The foundation of the Council was built upon personal relationships fueling transformative leadership and global advances. Whether it’s in the boardroom, over a shared meal, or on a Zoom call with attendees from across the Pacific, true innovation happens when bonds are created person-to-person, people-to-people.  

Join us to help fund our new and timely campaign- #USJCPeopleToPeople

Our goal is to raise $25,000 between October 15 and December 5.

Your support will help ensure that USJC can continue to facilitate the people-to-people connections needed to advance business, politics, and community right now.
