Relaunching the Reiwanotora Management School
The Reiwanotora Management School is making a grand return, spearheaded by Sho Hiro Hayashi, the second head of the popular YouTube business program, Reiwanotora. Starting from
June 27, 2026, this innovative school aims to equip aspiring entrepreneurs with practical knowledge through monthly workshops featuring guest lecturers who are active business leaders, known as “Tigers.” The workshops are designed to address real-world challenges that entrepreneurs face today, moving beyond theoretical discussions to the gritty realities of scaling businesses, securing funds, and overcoming crises.
Understanding the Need for the Management School's Relaunch
In recent years, there has been a surge in interest surrounding entrepreneurship and side businesses. However, many budding entrepreneurs struggle with pragmatic issues rather than theoretical concepts. They need immediate solutions on how to effectively scale their operations and secure funding in a volatile market.
As highlighted by numerous hopefuls who presented their business plans on the show, the stark difference between successful entrepreneurs and those who struggle has been vividly exposed. To cater to the overwhelming demand for direct learning and practical experiences from experienced business leaders, the school’s revival comes at a critical time.
Sho Hiro Hayashi, renowned for transforming Takeda Juku into a nationwide franchise, leads the charge. With an unparalleled hands-on approach, the school promises more than just learning; it offers real-world connections through funding opportunities, joint ventures, and media exposure.
Unique Features of the Reiwanotora Management School
The school proudly highlights three unique aspects that set it apart:
1. Direct Learning from Industry Leaders
Participants will have the opportunity to learn firsthand from top-tier business leaders every month. Each lecture, held on the third Saturday, will be led by a different guest “Tiger,” providing specialized insights into areas such as organizational structure, market trends, funding strategies, and talent acquisition. The first session will feature Tetsuya Mogi, CEO of Binai International. Past lectures will also be available online for participants to access at their convenience.
2. Exclusive Auditions and Mentorship Opportunities
For those aspiring to appear on the Reiwanotora show, the school offers a rigorous audition process where entrepreneurs can refine their business plans with a Tiger’s feedback. Successful candidates have the chance to present their businesses on the channel and possibly secure investment. This provides a direct path to real opportunities based on the rigorous assessment from established business leaders.
3. Real Business Matching and Networking Opportunities
To enhance practical application, the school organizes business presentations among participants to facilitate collaborations and foster partnerships. Networking events will also be held, aligning students with Tigers and other entrepreneurs, enhancing their professional networks while offering a platform for shared learning and growth.
