The Beginning of a Visionary Journey

Jake’s entrepreneurial path didn’t start in a boardroom—it began with a conviction rooted in a cyclical understanding of the universe. Influenced by fractal patterns and synchronicity, Jake identified February 22, 2022, as a turning point. On this date, he launched the “Unconditionable Project” in Hiroshima—a city globally recognized as a symbol of peace and rebirth after nuclear devastation.

“The city’s spirit perfectly reflected our core message,” Jake says. “Humanity is inherently one. Hurting each other on this small planet is foolish.”

Just two days later, the world was rocked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine—a sobering validation of Jake’s urgent message. This synchronicity solidified his belief in storytelling as a powerful medium for global awakening.

RabbitWarren: Animation With a Purpose Beyond Entertainment

RabbitWarren Animation Studios is not your average entertainment company. It’s a messaging brand—a purpose-led venture that seeks to awaken what Jake calls the “cosmic consciousness” in people.

The studio’s flagship animation, RABBITWARREN, is the first chapter in a larger narrative that combines folklore, science fiction, and metaphysical philosophy. In one standout video, QQQ – Maldek & Quantum Magic, viewers follow the last survivor of the destroyed planet Maldek as he travels to Earth on a mission to prevent humanity from repeating the same self-destructive mistakes.

By blending interplanetary storytelling with universal themes of peace, diversity, and love, Jake’s work resonates across generations.

“Our goal,” he explains, “is to be a gentle push—a source of small courage—for people navigating the chaos of modern life.”

A Legacy of Innovation: From Fashion Runways to Digital Realms

Jake’s capacity for identifying transformative trends isn’t just instinctual—it’s historic. In 2005, during Hiroshima Peace Memorial Week, he launched the Tokyo Girls Collection, a bold fusion of fashion, activism, and art. What started as a memorial tribute soon became Japan’s largest fashion festival, drawing global icons like Rihanna and BLACKPINK, and the attention of luxury giants such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci Group.

“People thought we were crazy,” Jake recalls. “But I was sure the future would unfold as I envisioned it.”

And it did. The festival not only disrupted Japan’s fashion industry—it influenced global formats like the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. It also paved the way for Jake’s mobile e-commerce innovations, a bold idea he launched in 2000, years before smartphones became mainstream. Despite pushback, he trusted the flow of his intuition—a guiding principle that continues to shape RabbitWarren’s unique trajectory.

A Global Perspective Rooted in Compassion

Growing up in Japan, Jake was profoundly influenced by the nation’s history of resilience. His grandfather, a school principal, risked everything to save children during World War II. These early experiences instilled in Jake a deep reverence for peace, unity, and human dignity.

These values echo in his leadership style.

“In Japan, we grow up with the idea that helping others in need is just natural,” he shares.

Whether responding to earthquakes or leading a creative team, Jake believes in steady, principle-driven leadership rooted in empathy and shared vision.

His message is clear: Success is not about haste. It’s about alignment.

Blending Creativity and Strategy for Long-Term Impact

For Jake, creativity and business strategy are not opposing forces—they’re complementary energies. “Like two sides of the same coin,” he says.

“Our messaging must be strong, simple, and original to drive lasting growth.”

RabbitWarren isn’t about scaling fast. It’s about creating something timeless—a brand that can survive the tides of hype and endure for generations. Jake compares it to planting a tree: “We’re building something that will still stand 100 or 200 years from now.”

And that’s not an empty claim. With all animation, characters, and music produced in-house, RabbitWarren is fiercely committed to authenticity. “In a social media-driven world,” he adds, “people can instantly tell what’s real. And real stories last.”

Lessons from the World’s Biggest Brands

Jake’s unique perspective is informed by behind-the-scenes partnerships with titans like Louis Vuitton, Coca-Cola, and Kitson. These experiences taught him that even the world’s most powerful brands face internal struggles—and that authenticity is the ultimate competitive advantage.

When tasked with reviving the declining U.S. brand Kitson, Jake’s team catapulted it to $200 million in sales in East Asia within nine months. Yet, the success brought unintended consequences: counterfeit flooding, overexposure, and eventual decline. It was a sobering reminder that growth without balance can self-destruct.

“True branding is more than profit,” Jake reflects. “It’s about maintaining your soul even in the spotlight.”

A Leadership Style Rooted in Vision, Patience, and Purpose

  Jake’s leadership mantra is grounded in patience, purpose, and philosophical clarity. He doesn’t chase numbers. He nurtures a shared vision, empowering his team to focus on their higher mission: raising global awareness through storytelling.

For aspiring entrepreneurs, his advice is simple yet profound:

“Life has a flow. Learn to ride that wave, and everything will fall into place.”

He’s not talking about luck or timing alone, but about recognizing the patterns, cycles, and synchronicities that guide all things—from nature to human ambition.
