Komiyaji

Mitsuhiro Komiyaji is a business professional with a focus on venture capital, joint ventures, and international business development, particularly in Japan but also globally. He has had key roles in facilitating joint ventures, raising funds, and assisting companies in various sectors, including robotics, automotive, and telecommunications. In 2000, he launched the information service “Impact Japan,” which received recognition from the Kanagawa Government.

Says Mr. Komiyaji:

“On a late autumn evening, I found a mantis beneath a lone cypress, its tail in the earth. Autumn‘s farewell, crickets whispering of winter. Years later, my Tokyo raised daughter showed no interest. I regret not bringing her closer to nature.  I am very happy to support Ecocide Law to preserve our global nature.”

Nina Macpherson welcomes Mitsuhiro Komiyaji:

“We are very happy to have our first Japanese Business Supporter for Ecocide Law Alliance in Mitsuhiro Komiyaji, founder of Impact Japan”, says Nina Macpherson, Chair of the foundation. She continues, “Mr Komiyaji shares our view about the importance of establishing a global ecocide law to preserve nature for all mankind.”

Japan is one of the 125 Member States of the International Criminal Court.
