I am Daiju Ishikawa, the founder of Hebocon.

My main profession is as an editor and writer. In Japan, I effortlessly use language to share the charm of Hebocon, but I’ve always felt frustrated that I can’t do the same for non-Japanese speakers.

Though it’s a bit of an older article, I hope it conveys my passion for Hebocon.
