I-GLOCAL Special Site ~ Gratitude, Beyond 20 Years of Establishment and Into the Future ~

Representative Director, IBJ Mr. Shigeru Ishizaka

It provides a wide range of marriage activity and life design services while aiming to solve the problem of unmarried couples, and has produced the largest number of married couples in Japan.

Congratulations on the 20th anniversary of I-GLOCAL establishment.
Mr. Kaburagi was a classmate of mine at Kaisei Gakuen, and while in school, he was always doing things that defied everyone's common sense.
He had a strategic goal of becoming an accountant from early on, and when it came to university entrance examinations, he gave up on the idea of “quickly entering the University of Tokyo,” instead opting for Keio University of Economics, which had a lower subject load, and he was able to pass the entrance exam at his first try
This attitude remained unchanged even after he entered the workforce, and he achieved a step in his life strategy that most people would never have thought of: becoming the first Japanese CPA in Vietnam.
After establishing the company, he has continued his rapid progress that you all know and love.
He said that the key to his business was “not to fight with other companies for a position, but to create a market and make it your own monopoly market".
Not content with being an accountant, Kaburagi paved his own way to a brilliant life as a businessman and became a pioneer.
Mr. Kaburagi, whom I can respect as a business manager, has been slowing down lately in his retirement.
It would really be a waste to let you reach your 60th birthday like this.
Please use this 20th anniversary as an opportunity to regain the “madness” of your youth, grow more and more, and surprise us and the world.

President and Representative Director, Breakfield, Inc. Mr. Masayuki Ida

Operates news media in the field of finance. Also doing business in Vietnam and Thailand.

Congratulations on your 20th anniversary.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to I-GLOCAL for giving us the opportunity to expand our business into Vietnam and for their support after our expansion.
Our company was founded in 2000, and after 10 years had passed, we began to look for a way to expand into Southeast Asia. Then, when I was touring countries in Southeast Asia, I had the opportunity to visit for the first time Mr. Kaburagi, the representative of I-GLOCAL, who was a classmate of mine in high school and who runs an accounting firm in Vietnam. I was introduced to Mr. Jitsuhara and everyone at I-GLOCAL, as well as to Representative Kaburagi's colleagues in Vietnam, and we had a very pleasant exchange on each of my business trips.
Through those exchanges, I learned a lot about the overseas business scene. Thanks to this relationship, our company was able to establish a local subsidiary in Vietnam in 2014 and subsequently expand our Southeast Asian business to Thailand and Indonesia. We would like to thank you again for your strong support of our company's first step into overseas markets.
Even today, we treasure the enjoyable exchanges we had with Mr. Kaburagi and his colleagues. I believe that it was because of this exchange that the president of our local subsidiary, who was stationed in Japan, was also reassured.
I am confident that I-GLOCAL will continue to develop further over the next 30 to 40 years. We look forward to continuing to have a pleasant exchange with I-GLOCAL and our staff.

Representative of Eguro CPA Office Mr. Takashi Eguro

Eguro CPA Office's two core businesses are IPO support and M&A advisory services.
Recently, he has been focusing on “Hello Accounting,” an accounting course for elementary and junior high school students.

Mr. Kaburagi and everyone at I-GLOCAL, congratulations on your 20th anniversary!
I met Mr. Kaburagi around 2009.
At that time, when my audit firm joined a foreign network firm, I received strict guidance from him saying, “As a Japanese, what would you do if you didn't go overseas yourself?"
Since then, I have been overwhelmed by the greatness of Mr. Kaburagi's guidance in a wide range of areas and the many opportunities I have had to interact with fellow CPAs.
I am confident that I-GLOCAL's presence will continue to grow in Vietnam, which is expected to develop even further in the future.
I sincerely wish for the further development of I-GLOCAL toward its 30th, 50th, and 100th anniversaries.

Tokyu Vietnam Representative、
Doctor of Engineering (Urban Planning)
(President of Becamex Tokyu, Chairman of Becamex Tokyu Bus and Tokyu Development BOD) Mr. DONGKUN OH

Since joining Tokyu Corporation in 1993, he has been involved in urban development projects at the head office and group companies in Japan for about 20 years.
In 2012, he was transferred to Vietnam, where he has been engaged in new urban development projects for 12 years.

Congratulations on the 20th anniversary of your establishment.
Tokyu established a representative office in Vietnam in 2012 after recognizing the potential of the country. At that time, I-GLOCAL really helped us in many areas, both publicly and privately, not to mention providing support for our entry into the market. Furthermore, in 2015, they opened the Binh Duong Branch in Binh Duong New City, which is being developed by Becamex Tokyu, deepening our relationship. Since then, we have continued to expand our business in Vietnam, including the establishment of Tokyu Development Company in 2018 by developing our representative office, and needless to say, I-GLOCAL has been running with us throughout this period.
Now, Becamex Tokyu celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2022. Since I-GLOCAL is celebrating its 20th anniversary, it is not difficult to imagine that there has been a lot of hard work behind the current success of the company. As a fellow businessman and a manager who has challenged the Vietnamese market, I would like to pay my respects to I-GLOCAL and hope that we will continue to work together as a reliable partner in the future.

Congratulations on your 20th anniversary!
I attended the 20th anniversary party held in Da Nang, Vietnam, and was wonderfully impressed by the momentum and development of your company.
In fact, it was my encounter with Mr. Kaburagi that led me to start my own business. In 2019, when I was struggling with my future, Mr. Kaburagi, who was then the president of the Toshima-kai of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants, gave me, a single member, his experience in starting a business and his strong words of encouragement. I was very encouraged by his words. I vividly remember being greatly encouraged by his words.
I hope that you will continue to lead many people and companies cheerfully and energetically.

Representative of CaN International
International Accounting Office Mr. Shohei Okubo

Congratulations on your 20th anniversary!
I have known Mr. Kaburagi, the president of I-GLOCAL, and his partner Mr. Jitsuhara since we worked together on a project in Vietnam in 2011 when I was an employee at the previous workplace. I have always enjoyed working with I-GLOCAL members on projects, going out for drinks, and having a good time with them both publicly and privately, transcending organizational barriers.
I am very happy to celebrate I-GLOCAL's 20th anniversary as if it were my own. The 20th-anniversary event at Da Nang Crescent, to which four of our members were also invited, was very lively. I could feel the energy of the young local members at the event, and I realized once again the momentum and potential of Vietnam and how I-GLOCAL is deeply rooted in the local community. All of our company members were strongly inspired by the event.
As is well known, I-GLOCAL is a leading firm in the accounting industry in Vietnam, and we are always inspired by their activities. We will continue to strive to be a part of this firm's success, and we look forward to a continued relationship with you in the “Your Growth is Our Growth” relationship!

In the country of Vietnam, a country that grows every year, you have been able to increase profits every year for 20 years....
From a one-man office to a large consulting firm with a staff of nearly 300.
When I imagine the 7,300-day journey of Representative Kaburagi, who embodies zero and one, in a foreign land, I wonder how many nights he has spent without sleep, how many people's thoughts and feelings he has carried on his back, and how much he has fought against his isolation.I know that it must have been a series of hardships that are too much to imagine.
I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to his wife and family who have supported him in his great achievement, as well as to all of the alumni and the senior management and staff who are currently very active in I-GLOCAL.

Thanks to the guidance of Mr. Kaburagi, we at Hotel Crescent Group were able to take on the dream of expanding overseas for the first time. The power I felt from the I-GLOCAL staff at the 20th anniversary ceremony held at the Da Nang Crescent was truly in line with your company motto, “Your Growth is Our Growth”.
I would like to express my sincere respect and wish I-GLOCAL all the best in its future endeavors as a leader in Asia.

Congratulations on your 20th anniversary.
I have been a classmate of Representative Kaburagi's since high school. I was a hired guitarist in the band (a heavy metal copy band) in which he is the leader and bass player, and we have continued our relationship to this day. I remember that since I was a high school student, Representative Kaburagi showed his leadership and business acumen by organizing live concerts with bands from various high schools and selling tickets to the concerts to the members he gathered at a blind date (at a coffee shop).
As a friend, I cannot help but have respect for Mr. Kaburagi, who became a certified public accountant, saw the potential of the Vietnamese market, which had not yet received as much public attention as it does today, gathered a great group of people, and launched I-GLOCAL, which has grown steadily over the past 20 years.
As an officer of a regional financial institution myself, I would like to continue to strengthen our customer support in Vietnam from the perspective of supporting the growth of local companies.
I would like to ask I-GLOCAL for your continued cooperation and support, and sincerely hope that Representative Kaburagi and I-GLOCAL will achieve further development as powerfully as his base sound at that time.

I am very proud to have been involved in the growth of this company for four years. I am also very proud that I was involved in the growth of this company for four years. When I see my subordinates running the company more successfully than I did after I left, I realize that I made the right decision not to get in their way.
I believe that I-GLOCAL has been able to demonstrate its corporate culture of high-quality asset formation based on the idea of “leaving a living proof” by its founder, Mr. Kaburagi.

An accounting firm that supports business exchanges between Japan and Korea, with offices in Tokyo, Kobe, and Seoul.
President Taisei Kou and I-GLOCAL's Kaburagi are alumni from Kaisei Junior High School to their former days at KPMG AZSA & Co.

Congratulations on the 20th anniversary of your establishment. After I completed my second CPA exam, I was asked, “Would you like to go to Vietnam with me?” I was surprised when he asked me, “Why Vietnam?” I was surprised. I thought, “Why Vietnam?". Kaburagi must have been so interested in Vietnam back then.
Since then, he has been focusing solely on Vietnam, and at a young age, he became a representative in Vietnam for an auditing firm and the first Japanese to become a certified public accountant in Vietnam. And not long after, when he thought he had become independent, he grew the firm into one of the largest accounting firms in Vietnam. Regarding this 20th anniversary, I am truly happy as a friend and colleague because I know the hardships and struggles of that growth milestone. I am also impressed and inspired by the unparalleled success of the firm in overcoming difficulties and achieving overwhelming growth.
Starsia, of which I am the president, is developing an accounting consulting business with Korea as its market and will celebrate its 17th anniversary in 2024. Since its inception, we have always followed I-GLOCAL's back and kept thinking to ourselves, “We are going to be like I-GLOCAL in Korea. Perhaps that sense of competition has been the driving force that has brought us this far.
As an aside, the name of our company, “Starsia,” comes from a phrase Kaburagi-san and I were drinking together when he said, “We are going to be the star of Asia! We are going to be the star of Asia! Let's continue to work together to become the “Star of Asia”.

I am confident that I-GLOCAL Vietnam will continue to develop over the next 10 to 20 years, surrounded by employees with youth, vitality, and a sense of humor, as well as over 1,000 wonderful clients. I will continue to support you!

CPAs tend to be conservative in their profession, but Mr. Kaburagi has a pioneering spirit and is a strong businessperson.

The name of Kaburagi-san and I-GLOCAL is so well known globally that when people think of business in Vietnam, they think of Kaburagi-san and I-GLOCAL, and the company for which I serve on the board of directors is also a local partner. The practical skills that have continued to be brushed up over the years are very reliable and appreciated.
The traditions that I-GLOCAL has cultivated over the past 20 years will not be developed in a day, and the services that will be created based on these traditions will be sophisticated and indispensable for the development of both Japan and Vietnam. I hope that you will continue to refine its value over the next 10 to 20 years.

Congratulations on the 20th anniversary of the establishment of our group.
In Vietnam, where the accounting system was in its infancy, Mr. Kaburagi was the first Japanese to become a certified public accountant in the country. It is wonderful to see that you have not only obtained a CPA license in Vietnam but have also started your own business and achieved such a high level of growth.
I first met I-GLOCAL around 2007, when AGS launched its overseas strategy. From that time on, I-GLOCAL was the only choice when it came to Vietnam. I-GLOCAL has worked with us on many projects since then. I-GLOCAL has been an overwhelmingly reliable partner for AGS to such an extent that we cannot imagine our service development in Vietnam without them.
I have fond memories of discussing the industry with Mr. Kaburagi.
Let's cherish this bond and continue to make great strides with each other.

It must be around 2010. I vividly remember the first time I visited I-GLOCAL in Ho Chi Minh City. It was still a small company at the time, but it was very energetic and I sensed a great future for it.
Both Mr. Kaburagi and Mr. Jitsuhara were young at the time, and I could see the future in their strong drinking spirits, but I knew they had done it! It is amazing that a Japanese person can establish such a large accounting firm overseas.
Vietnam is a great country. Vietnam is a good country, growing rapidly, and is a perfect match for Japan.
I-GLOCAL is just a passing point. I look forward to your further progress.

It is with heartfelt congratulations and respect that I congratulate I-GLOCAL on its 20th anniversary.
Since I first met Mr. Kaburagi in Ho Chi Minh City about 14 or 15 years ago in connection with the operations of our Vietnam subsidiary, I have seen I-GLOCAL grow tremendously. There is no doubt that Mr. Kaburagi's outstanding leadership and unwavering vision were behind its success. The presence of Japanese CPAs active overseas had a great influence on me when I was young.
Time has passed, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to interact with him in this way, I hope to continue to receive guidance from him as a senior manager. Looking to the future, I sincerely hope that I-GLOCAL will continue to achieve sustained growth and success and that it will continue to influence even more companies and individuals.

I believe that I-GLOCAL is now an indispensable part of the Vietnamese economy and of Japanese companies that have advanced into Vietnam. I hope that you will continue to be active in the future, keeping in mind your founding thoughts and looking ahead to the next 20 years. We are rooting for you!

Kaburagi-san, the president of I-GLOCAL, and I were classmates at Kaisei Gakuen. I later became a doctor and opened a medical corporation. Then I learned how difficult it is to start a business and grow a company. I realized that an entrepreneur must have boldness, foresight, resilience, and above all, human charm.
I had heard through the grapevine that Kaburagi-san had started a business in Vietnam. When I visited Vietnam on business and asked to drop by his office, he graciously accepted my desirement to visit. The staff I met there were all energetic, and motivated, and most of all, they loved the company.
At that moment, I thought Kaburagi-san was amazing for having created such an organization. He had what entrepreneurs need, something you can't learn in school. Since then, I-GLOCAL has expanded even further. As an entrepreneur of my generation and a classmate of Kaisei, I am rooting for him. I wonder what he will do next.

CEO, Capichi Việt Nam Mr. Taiki Mori

It is supported by gourmets living in Vietnam.

I genuinely respect the fact that you have been running a company in Vietnam for 20 years, helping many companies and growing them. We will do our best to become a company that is loved in Vietnam like I-GLOCAL and contribute to the development of Vietnam. And I look forward to working with I-GLOCAL to expand our services from Vietnam to the world. Congratulations on your 20th anniversary!

Congratulations to I-GLOCAL on your 20th anniversary. I marvel at the fact that you have continued to grow and strengthen your clientele and staff over the past 20 years, and I feel compelled to do my part to keep up the good work. I am particularly impressed by the fact that you went to Vietnam, a foreign country, 20 years ago and continued to pioneer the business as a pioneer.
I sincerely look forward to your future activities.

TAIYO INK CO. Mr. Luong Ngoc Hung

TAIYO HOLDINGS' first production base in Southeast Asia, supplying products to ASEAN and China.

I would like to extend my sincere congratulations on the 20th anniversary of your company.
In 2009, I had the opportunity to study at your firm and met the founder, Mr. Kaburagi. I still remember vividly his strong desire to “raise the accounting base in Vietnam.”
I believe that the 20th anniversary is just a passing point. Mr. Kaburagi's words, “If we are going to build a company, let's build a company that will last at least 100 years,” will surely be realized under excellent leadership, the right path, and highly knowledgeable core members.
As an alumnus of the company, I would like to express my respect for your company's achievements to date and wish for its further development and prosperity in the future.

President and Representative Director, Matsui Securities Co. Mr. Akira Warita

One of the leading Internet brokerage firms. Matsui Securities has been in business for over 100 years, and in 2020 he will be the first person other than the founding family to assume the position of president. He is currently implementing the rebranding of the company and promoting “from savings to investment” for individuals.

Congratulations on the 20th anniversary of I-GLOCAL establishment.
I met President Kaburagi-kun in the 6th grade at a cram school for junior high school entrance exams, and we were classmates in junior high and high school (Kaisei Gakuen). I remember being overwhelmed by his communication skills, which I did not expect from someone of his generation. He was different from ordinary people, so when I heard from a classmate that he had started a company in Vietnam and that the company had become one of the leading accounting firms in Vietnam, all I could think was, “Of course, that Kabura-chan! was all I could think.
Everyone now recognizes that Vietnam is a market with a decent size economy and high growth potential among Asian countries. However, when he started his company in Vietnam 20 years ago, even in the securities industry, which loves to buy companies from the blue-chip market, the perception of Vietnam was “one of the VISTA countries coming after BRICS? The subsequent collapse of Lehman Brothers blew such words out of the water. In such an environment, I believe that I-GLOCAL's commitment to Vietnam and its continued growth is due to its firm vision for the future and its constant evolution toward that vision.
There is a saying in the market, “The road behind the man's path is a mountain of flowers. It means that to profit in the stock market, you have to do the opposite of what others do. I believe that I-GLOCAL has truly lived up to this maxim.
I sincerely hope that I-GLOCAL will continue to lead the industry and further develop I-GLOCAL in the next 20 years.
