Hi! I'm Riku

I am Riku Ito, a first-year student at Hiroo Gakuen High School. As CEO, I coordinate and manage all aspects of this competition. Having participated in various business contests, I am continually impressed by the creativity of high school students. At the same time, I noticed a lack of opportunities for students to freely share and develop their ideas. This inspired me to establish this competition. Together with the MiRyze team, we aim to create a space where students can learn from one another, develop their ideas, and take on challenges that will connect to the next generation.
