Influencers Shihou and Mako Hold a Financial Literacy Workshop in Tokyo

Financial Literacy Workshop Hosted by Influencers Shihou and Mako



On June 27, 2025, SBI FX Trade, a subsidiary company of SBI Holdings based in Tokyo, held an enlightening workshop titled 'Financial Basics Learning Session.' The event, designed to enhance financial literacy among attendees, featured representatives Shihou and Mako, well-known influencers and official ambassadors of the company.

Background of the Event


In recent years, Japan has faced significant economic challenges such as rising inflation, increased living costs, and a depreciating yen. This has resulted in a heavier financial burden on individuals. Unfortunately, wage growth has not kept pace with these changes, rendering the traditional saving-focused asset management strategy increasingly inadequate for future financial security. This problematic economic landscape has become a pressing issue for many working individuals, regardless of gender.

Particularly among the working population, understanding money and building assets has become even more vital. Recognizing this necessity, SBI FX Trade organized the workshop to offer a safe learning environment for beginners, aiming to kickstart their journey towards financial independence.
