Cofounder, Atama Plus

Daisuke Inada, cofounder and CEO of atama plus, has been publicly discussing his company's mission to modernize Japan's education system through AI-driven personalized learning. In media appearances from 2020 to 2023, he described atama plus as creating an "AI teacher" that generates individual curricula for students, contrasting it with the traditional model of teachers lecturing to entire classes, which he said has remained largely unchanged for nearly 150 years. He stated that the company aims to shorten the time needed to acquire basic academic skills so that students can spend more time developing abilities such as collaboration and presentation, which he considers important for living in society. In a 2022 presentation at ICC KYOTO, he noted that the company had expanded to over 3,100 cram school classrooms and had opened its own learning centers in Nagano in June of that year. Inada has also discussed the business and strategic aspects of atama plus. In a 2021 interview, he said the company had secured funding from Singaporean and American institutional investors, and he expressed confidence that the Japanese market alone could sustain the business, noting that education is a local industry where approaches that work in the U.S. do not necessarily apply in Japan. He described the education market as large despite declining child populations, citing household spending on supplementary education. In a 2023 television feature, he was shown at the company's Tokyo office, which includes artificial turf flooring, and he spoke about his goal of increasing the "total amount of smiles" through education, as well as his background, including a study stint in Brazil during his time at Mitsui & Co., which influenced his views on education.
