OUR STORY
The unfamiliar word "HERALBONY" is a mysterious word that was written in a notebook by the older of the twin Matsuda brothers, the founders of the company, who is four years older than the older brother and has a severe intellectual disability and autism, when he was seven years old.
These words may not have any meaning to the world. However, there was something that struck me, and that is why I wrote these words. These words are filled with the meaning of wanting to create value for the world by planning ideas that may seem meaningless at first glance.
"HERALBONY," the unfamiliar word, was written in a notebook for the first time when Shota, the twin founders' older brother with autism, was 7 years old.
At that time, you would have found nothing if you googled the word. Even Shota said, “I don't know!” when he was asked about its meaning. However, we believe that he kept writing the word because he found the word's sound, letters or whatever attractive or comfortable for him. Therefore, “HERALBONY” reflects our passion and desire to give meaning to what are considered to be meaningless in today's world.
