Message from the CEO

To everyone who wants to change their organisation

​

For many years, I worked as a branding professional, helping companies through transformation. Building on that experience, I founded Shimauma LLC in January 2021 — at the start, a pure branding company.

​

Then came our encounter with blockchain in 2022, and the startling evolution of generative AI in 2023. Meeting these frontier technologies widened what we could do. Standing on our founding vision and adapting to a changing era, in December 2023 we became Shibuya Web3 University Co., Ltd. — and began delivering new value that fuses branding with technology.

​

Connecting an organisation's vision to action on the ground. That is our mission.

​

A challenge that began in Shibuya

​

When we founded the company in Shibuya in 2021, we were purely a branding company. Our encounter with blockchain in 2022 opened our field of vision. Technology is not merely a tool. It can be a powerful catalyst that transforms organisational culture. That conviction led to the birth of Shibuya Web3 University.

​

A community that practises

​

Shibuya Web3 University opened in March 2023, and has grown into a community of more than 300 innovators. It has become a rare group in Japan: people who understand the essence of Web3 and put generative AI into practice every day. We ourselves transform our own work with generative AI, and build new business models with Web3. We practise what we teach. That is our creed.

​

Born of necessity: the SCX Professional Program

​

Through years of practice at Shibuya Web3 University, we arrived at one conviction. Know the technology. Change the organisation. And beyond that, what is needed most is leaders who can move reality.

​

In our branding work, walking alongside companies through change, we kept running into the same wall. However clearly a company puts its vision into words, however advanced the technology it brings in, nothing changes without people who can decide with their own will and carry it into action.

​

Our answer to this is the SCX Professional Program. UITM provides quality assurance and the curriculum, and Shibuya Web3 University Co., Ltd. operates the programme in Japan. Studying in Japanese, you take on a professional programme equivalent to an MBA / DBA. It is not the accumulation of knowledge; it trains the very consciousness that wields knowledge, and develops leaders who can change reality. For us, this was never an expansion of business. It was the necessary next step — a deeper, more essential way to live the mission we have pursued since our founding: turning vision into action.

​

In February 2026, we launched the SGX Professional Program (Shibuya Global Executive). Later that year, we renamed it the SCX Professional Program (Shibuya Conscious Executive).

​

From Shibuya Global Executive, to Shibuya Conscious Executive. From "Global" — reaching out to the world — to "Conscious" — reaching deeper within.

​

This is more than a change of name. From a society of credentials, to a society of learning. From knowledge, to consciousness. It marks the deepening of our philosophy of education itself. The essence of the programme has not changed.

​

The language of learning is yours to choose — SCX Professional Program WLV IMBA (University of Wolverhampton International MBA)

​

Do you have a reality you want to change?

​

Learning that thinks deeply in your mother tongue reaches a depth of thought that only your mother tongue can reach. Learning that touches the world directly in English opens a reach that only English can open. Some have long awaited depth. Some have long awaited reach. And some seek both. Which language you take them in differs from person to person — a hundred people, a hundred ways of learning. For each and every one, we have designed both paths in earnest, with everything we have. The goal is one: to become a leader who changes reality. How you choose your way there — that is your character.

​

There are people with a reality they want to change, and the power to change it. Yet that will stays an individual conviction, unconnected — to management knowledge that holds up in the world, to the form of academic practice, to the power to be heard in English.

​

So we built the path. To the International MBA of the University of Wolverhampton, a British university with origins in 1827 — a road built on a British university and a British progression route, where the academic foundation is trained in Japanese. In Stage 1, we provide, independently and in Japanese, the academic-practice tutorials needed for postgraduate-level study. That is why we have made this path ready — why we run the Japan pathway to this programme.

​

The reality we want to change is that one. To connect your will to intelligence and action that hold up in the world — this path exists for that.

​

Three businesses, deepening as one

​

Today, we run three businesses: our branding business, Shibuya Web3 University, and SCX Professional Program — the collective name for our learning.

​

This is not diversification. It is the result of relentlessly deepening a single point: transforming organisations and society.

​

Our branding business puts vision into words and builds an organisation's foundation. Shibuya Web3 University turns frontier technology into practical capability and accelerates change. The SCX Professional Program brings these together and develops leaders who can move reality.

​

Beneath it: three paths, each with a character of its own. And at the end of each path, a testament to your learning.

​

At the end of SCX Professional Program UITM DBA: the DBA Executive Award — draw the future from your own question. Transform society. At the end of SCX Professional Program UITM MBA: the MBA Executive Award — one year, implemented in management. Transform management. At the end of SCX Professional Program WLV IMBA: a British degree, the International Master of Business Administration — take on the world, in English.

​

These three are not separate businesses. They are organically connected within one larger current. Wherever you enter, you arrive at the same place: the power to change reality. That is the essence of the value we provide.

​

​

Our strengths

​

Our strength is that we understand both branding and technology — deeply — and can bring them together. The methodology of organisational change, built through internal branding. Sharp insight into frontier technology, gained through hands-on practice in Web3 and generative AI. Education in IT and management at a global standard, built on UITM's quality assurance and curriculum. And the road that leads to the International MBA of the University of Wolverhampton, recognised in UK law as a degree-awarding institution (a Recognised Body). Bringing these together, we deliver value found nowhere else.

​

Beginning with the public-private demonstration project in Iizuka City, Fukuoka, adopted in September 2025, we drive social-implementation projects together with the members of the Shibuya Web3 University community. Our training record includes major companies such as JR Central, Mitsubishi Motors and Nippon Steel Engineering. These results are the proof of our vision — and of our ability to deliver.

​

Our promise

​

Technology is a means. Human creativity is the source of value. Under this philosophy, we walk with your organisation. Clarify the vision, accelerate it with technology, embed it as culture — and develop the leaders who will carry it. Through this whole process, we deliver organisational transformation that lasts.

​

The small challenge that began in Shibuya is now growing into a far larger current. We put vision into words, support practice with frontier technology, embed it as organisational culture, and develop leaders who change reality. And beyond that — from a society of credentials, to a society of learning. Rebuilding education from Japan: a new system of learning that sets consciousness in motion, instead of locking knowledge in place. Our challenge now reaches toward the future of education itself.
