Who we are

Our founder, Dan Harada, is now a household word on Nagatacho, the center of political power

He describes himself in those words:

Raised in Paris, I went to Wall Street to work, first at Smith Barney, later as assistant to John Pell, trustee of the Pell family trusts and cousin of Claiborne Pell, then chairman, Committee on Foreign Relations

In 1987, I acquired Japanese citizenship, became a member of the LDP and founded Nagatacho Forum, a lobbying firm which assists foreign governments and companies in their relations with Japanese legislators

My friendships with ministers, committee chairmen and bi-partisan leadership are assets for our clients to tap.
