Our Company Name

• Our name has two main connotations:
  • “Kitazato” in Japanese is the combination of two meaningful words: “North” and “Home”.
  • Our Home, Shizuoka, where our headquarters are located, has the breath-taking views of Mount Fuji to the North. Given our deep respect to the greatness of nature, the company was named Kitazato to illustrate our origins.
• We are also named after the recognized Japanese physician, Dr. Shibasaburo Kitasato, our mentor and an example for us to follow, teaching us the spirit of never giving up and that “where there is a will, there is a way”. He has also made a great contribution to education, and therefore exemplifies our commitment to contributing to a better future for society.
