Ken Nakamori has a dream: a vision of deepening the understanding between people of different countries and creating a new bridge of communication through digital media communities.

"I'm not interested in creating business simply to become rich," he says. "That usually involves some kind of exploitation. I believe we have to find a new way forward, so every day is an experiment. Living together in peace and creative harmony is the ultimate goal."

At school in Osaka, where he was born, he played rugby well enough to be selected for national competition. Sadly -- or perhaps fortunately, considering the number of ears that get torn off in the game -- he was too small. "Luckily I was interested in history and drama. Also I had a feeling I wanted to be involved in some kind of industry-related fashion or art."
