OZONO
TAKUMI.
Rewriting the
rules in
of the beauty industry。
Moved to Tokyo from Kagoshima with just 40,000 yen. After becoming No.1 in apparel nationwide and building a 5-billion-yen real estate track record, he entered the beauty industry with no experience. NR-NINE has surpassed 500 salons and won the Japan Beauty Company Award.
With the philosophy of "Seikō," making Japanese beauty the global standard.
PROFILE.Takumi Ozono, the Entrepreneur
After delivering results across industries at a young age, Takumi Ozono ultimately chose the work of "making people beautiful." But what he sees goes beyond outer beauty.
Courtesy, the spirit of challenge, compassion, gratitude — the way of life a person builds becomes their character, and that becomes true beauty. That is his conviction. He sees refining appearance as "a turning point that changes lives," and aims to support the confidence and way of life beyond it.
Not a leader who chases results alone — he values character above all and continues to embody it. What NINE JAPAN aims for under his leadership is not a company that provides beauty, but a brand that makes lives beautiful.
