Features: At the age of 17, he made a bold vow to pursue a career in the computer industry. At 19, he drafted a 50-year life plan: to achieve fame before the age of 30; to accumulate at least 100 billion Japanese Yen by the age of 40; to have a decisive victory by the age of 50; to complete his business (with a sales scale of 1 trillion Japanese Yen) by the age of 60; and to pass the baton to the next generation by the age of 70. At 20, he earned his first $1 million in life and established a company in the United States. At 21, after graduating from university, he sold the company and returned to Japan, starting everything from scratch. In 1981, at the age of 23, he founded Japan Software Bank with a capital of 10 million Japanese Yen. Within less than half a year, Japan Software Bank conducted transactions with 42 personal computer retailers and 94 software manufacturers, becoming Japan's leading software distribution company. Japan Software Bank went public in 1994, and his assets skyrocketed to 200 billion Japanese Yen overnight. In 1998, after being listed for just three and a half years, Japan Software Bank was officially listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange as a first-class stock. This was a special case in the history of the Japanese securities market, where a listed company directly jumped to the first-class stock market. At the age of 43, he became the first billionaire in Asia, with assets exceeding 3 trillion Japanese Yen. However, he was not satisfied with this and set a goal to make Japan Software Bank a global leader within 30 years, surpassing Microsoft and Intel.
