Yoshikazu Tanaka

Yoshikazu Tanaka is a Japanese business owner that is of Social Networking GREE, given by GREE, Inc. which is a Net organisation firm he started.

Yoshikazu Tanaka was birthed in Tokyo, Mitaka-City in 1977. When Tanaka was a junior high pupil, Tanaka ended up being acutely thinking about adjustments in culture by informatization as well as the area of information-communication by reviewing “Power Change” by Alvin Toffler.

Since 2003, at the age 26, Tanaka began establishing SNS GREE as a leisure activity. In February 2004, Tanaka opened up SNS GREE to the general public, as an individual internet site. By March 2004, over 10,000 customers had actually signed up with the SNS that quickly came to be tough for him to handle quickly expanding by himself. In December 2004, Tanaka developed a business, GREE, Inc. in order to run the solution for the expanding variety of customers.

In December 2008, GREE, Inc. was provided on the marketplace of the High-Growth as well as Emerging Supplies, shut at the greatest market price of shares on the initial day.

In February 2009, Tanaka was placed 24th “Japan’s 40 Richest Billionaires” by Forbes Asia. Since 2010, at age 33, he was placed as “Asia’s Youngest Self-Made Billionaire” under the age of 35 as well as was picked as the “Globe’s Second-Youngest Self-Made Billionaire” after Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg.

In June 2010, 5 years after the foundation, GREE, Inc. was on the initial area of the Tokyo Stock market. Tanaka was 33 years and also 3 month back then as well as the youngest owner whose firm is listed on the TSE initial area.

Tanaka had the ability to establish his social network aside from the well established Japanese Mixi as well as DeNA by focusing on mobile video games as well as making collaborations with significant Web Expert.

Tanaka has conquered many obstacles along the way. He was up against strong competitors like DeNA and NTT DoCoMo, both multi-billion dollar companies. The Japanese Government accused Tanaka’s site for controversial marketing tactics and had him apologize for his actions. The negative accusations lead Gree to lose about 40% of the company’s share value. The large decline in stock value dropped Tanaka’s net worth from nearly $4 billion to $1.9 billion.
