Upcoming Event: SAMURAI Foundation's Second Anniversary Party

The SAMURAI Foundation, dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship among children in Japan, will host the second founding party on August 26, 2026. This highly anticipated event will take place at Quest Toranomon, located in the Minato district of Tokyo. With doors opening at 6:00 PM, attendees will gather for an evening of celebration and collaboration, commencing at 6:30 PM and concluding around 8:30 PM.

This year's party follows the success of the previous celebration held on July 7, 2026, at Azabudai Hills, which attracted over 100 guests, including entrepreneurs, investors, and educators. Due to overwhelming responses requesting further opportunities to engage, the foundation decided to organize this second event to connect with an even broader audience passionate about education and children's futures.

Why This Event Matters

The SAMURAI Foundation, which emphasizes the belief that the ability to effect change is determined by action rather than capability, was established on April 14, 2026. It aims to provide elementary school students (grades 5 and 6) with experiential learning programs focused on challenges, failures, and perseverance through its nationwide initiative, the SAMURAI Entrepreneurship Club. This upcoming party will not only celebrate the achievements of the foundation thus far but also encourage attendees to engage actively in its mission.
