To everyone who wants to transform their organization.


For many years, I have been involved in corporate transformation as a branding professional. Based on that experience, I founded Shimawma LLC in January 2021, starting as a pure branding company.


My encounter with blockchain in 2022, and the dramatic evolution of generative AI in 2023—these encounters with cutting-edge technologies further expanded our possibilities. Building on our founding philosophy and continuously adapting to the changing times, we launched Shibuya Web3 University Corporation in December 2023, beginning to deliver new value through the fusion of branding and technology.
Connecting organizational philosophy to frontline action. That is our mission.

A Challenge That Began in Shibuya


When we started in Shibuya in 2021, we were a pure branding company. Our encounter with blockchain in 2022 dramatically broadened our horizons. Technology is not merely a tool. It can become a powerful catalyst for transforming organizational culture. This conviction led to the birth of Shibuya Web3 University.

A Community of Practitioners


Shibuya Web3 University, which opened in March 2023, has grown into a community of over 300 innovators. We have become a rare group of practitioners in Japan who truly understand the essence of Web3 and apply generative AI in daily practice. We ourselves revolutionize our operations with generative AI and build new business models with Web3. We practice what we teach. This is our creed.

SGX Professional Program: A Natural Evolution


Through our ongoing practice at Shibuya Web3 University, we arrived at a firm conviction: To understand technology and transform organizations—what is needed beyond that is the presence of leaders who can move reality.


In our branding work alongside companies, we have repeatedly encountered the same barrier. No matter how well you articulate a vision, no matter how advanced the technology you introduce, organizations will not change unless there are people who can make decisions of their own will and take action.


Our answer to this challenge is the SGX Professional Program, launching in February 2026.


Through our partnership with UITM (University of Information Technology and Management) in Poland, we offer MBA/DBA-equivalent programs taught in Japanese. This is not merely about acquiring knowledge—it is about cultivating the very "vessel of consciousness" and developing leaders who can change reality.
For us, this is not business expansion. It was an inevitable step to more deeply and fundamentally fulfill our founding mission of "transforming vision into action."

Three Deepening Pillars of Business


We now operate three business pillars: Branding Services, Shibuya Web3 University, and SGX Professional Program.


This is not an expansion of our business scope. It is the result of thoroughly deepening our singular focus: "transforming organizations and society."


Through Branding Services, we articulate vision and build organizational foundations. Through Shibuya Web3 University, we transform cutting-edge technology into practical capability and accelerate transformation. Through SGX Professional Program, we integrate these elements and develop leaders who can move reality.


These three are not independent businesses but are organically connected within one greater flow. No matter where you enter, everything ultimately leads to "the power to change reality." This is the essence of the value we provide.

Our Strengths


Our strength lies in our deep understanding and ability to integrate both branding and technology. Methodologies for organizational transformation cultivated through internal branding. Deep insight into cutting-edge technologies gained through hands-on Web3 and generative AI practice. And now, through our partnership with UITM, global-standard education that integrates IT and management.


By fusing these elements, we deliver value found nowhere else.
Social implementation projects driven together with Shibuya Web3 University community members—including the public-private partnership demonstration project in Iizuka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, adopted in September 2025. Training track records with major corporations including JR Tokai, Mitsubishi Motors, and Nippon Steel Engineering. These achievements demonstrate both our philosophy and our practical capabilities.

Our Promise


Technology is a means. Human creativity is the source of value.
Under this philosophy, we walk alongside your organization. We clarify your vision, accelerate it with technology, and embed it as culture. And we develop the leaders who will carry it forward. Through this integrated process, we achieve sustainable organizational transformation.


What began as a small challenge in Shibuya has now grown into a powerful wave. We articulate vision, support practice with cutting-edge technology, establish it as organizational culture, and develop leaders who change reality.


Transform Vision into Action.


Won't you join us in creating the future of your organization?
