Mr. Matsuda who took the initiative on the internet business before Horiemon(former president of Livedoor.) had a chance to be one of the great names in the IT industry.
“Some people from Tokyo asked me to sell stock to the public. But I thought the IT industry in Tokyo was something different and it didn’t suit my taste. I wasn’t interested in changing the world like they say. It’s pretty tough, right?”
He turned his back on Tokyo and focused on young people in Sakai.
“I offered students an internship and helped people who wanted to start their own business by renting space. Young engineers tend to do only what they want and don’t do brokerage business but the thing doesn’t work. So I made them work, and it was also convenient for me. About three IT companies have been independent so far.”
In the situation of the ups and downs of great IT names, Mr. Matsuda brought great achievement on a traditional industry in Sakai to an end by growing the beginnings of an IT industry and the local young people. Though his achievement isn’t as brilliant as the one by people from Tokyo, his seeds give us benefits as return tangible or intangible.

Sakai city is famous for a kitchen knife that is a very important tool for Japanese cuisine.
There are many notable craftsmen who are involved in producing these knives and sometimes they are covered in the media.However, it can be in vain unless it is distributed.It’s just like carefully selected ingredients which are left behind because there is no one there to prepare and serve them.
“Transmitting information.” This is an important topic of this site.It means for Non-Sakai people to know the attractions of Sakai city.
We believe that Mr. Matsuda has taken action much earlier than others. His story, which is not about producing things but from distributing and transmitting is very exciting for in the same situtation like us.
