XANA JAPAN CEO／Comments by Yuji Mizoguchi, representative of BACKSTAGE Inc.

Myself Mizoguchi. I am delighted to announce that I have been appointed as CEO of XANA JAPAN. The decision criteria which I emphasized the most in my choice of work, as in this case, is that I want to eliminate loneliness, boredom, and anxiety, the challenges of the 21st century, as much as possible.

XANA’s Founder, RIO, and I have had several discussions with each other until today, Through these discussions, we have come to believe that our mutual direction and the society we wish to achieve are similar.

Through camps and discussions with XANA’s management team, we all created a new vision of ” Another place for everyone to be and a different you”.

We aim to create a metaverse where everyone who feels lonely, bored, or anxious can be who they want to be, do what they want to do and work where they want to, and live happily ever after.

Through XANA, we are determined to make a contribution to society. And I myself will strive to make XANA the most widely recognized and adored Web3 Metaverse in Japan.

We would like to thank you for your continued support and guidance.
