Coloring Every Life with Smiles, Inspiration, and Enthusiasm

SHAPE Partners provides management support across three core domains, unbound by conventional consulting services, to create a "human-centric" society:


"Consumer Domain," which brings smiles to everyday life;

"Entertainment Domain," which provides inspiration beyond smiles and joy;

And "Sports Domain," which generates enthusiasm beyond that.


Our goal is to establish ourselves as Japan’s top firm in these fields, together with our ambitious and dedicated team members.

Mission

Co-creating "Humanity" with Aspirational Partners

In this era where technology is rapidly advancing, making daily life and work increasingly efficient and convenient, human labor time is expected to decrease, and free time is projected to increase.


And as “communication remains possible even when apart” and we gain more “time that can be used freely,” it is precisely in such an era that we seek to explore and share “humanity”—a colorful life filled with joy, passion, encounters, and inspiration that emerge from meeting and interacting with others, free from past common sense or fixed ideas.


By gathering and broadly connecting with partners who share this aspiration, we will collaboratively create a human-centric and prosperous society.

Values

Sincerity

Treat every stakeholder with unwavering integrity and sincerity.

Harmony

We do not settle for contradiction; we constantly strive for synthesis and upliftment (Aufheben).

Athlete

Act as high-performance professionals, delivering peak performance regardless of the circumstances.

Pride

Assume full responsibility and pride in our professional contributions.

Euphoria

Prioritize the well-being and aspirations of every individual.
