Prologue
In the vast digital ocean, there is a figure who shines uniquely. His name is Panchan.
Breathing life into code, pouring passion into markets, and shaking souls with music— all of these elements shape who he is.
His story is not merely a chronology of his career. It is the very act of “living.”
Panchan as an Engineer
“I still vividly remember the feeling the first time I wrote code,” says Panchan.
When he made a small program run on his computer, he felt a “power to move the world.”
For over a decade, he has designed countless systems using Java and Python. But what matters most to him is not the technology itself.
“I want to create something that truly helps people.”
This pure desire is at the core of everything he does.
“Rather than perfect code, I value systems that touch people’s hearts.”
This is Panchan’s engineering philosophy.
Panchan as an Investor
“I was scared when I first started my savings investment,” Panchan recalls.
Starting with small amounts during the early days of Abenomics, he steadily built his portfolio. Through crashes and bubbles, he remained calm and consistent.
What he trusts is not the “short-term noise” of the market, but the wisdom of humanity over the long term.
Warren Buffett’s teachings have guided him time and again.
“In the short run, the market is a voting machine, but in the long run, it is a weighing machine.”
Today, Panchan continues to invest quietly and steadfastly, looking toward the future.
Panchan as a DTM Creator
“When the world came to a halt in 2020, the music within me awakened.”
During the pandemic, confined to his home, Panchan reconnected with music.
Using only a PC, software, and vocaloids— he brought to life his new creative journey. His main virtual singer today is Miyamai Moka.
“She sings the words I cannot express myself.”
But he doesn’t just create songs. Panchan launched an NFT project to release his music as unique digital assets.
“I believe in miracles: embedding a soul into a work and delivering it to someone across the world.”
NFTs are not a mere trend for Panchan. They are his way of “proving his existence.”
Other Aspects
“Faith is like a compass to me.”
With seven years as a Catholic believer, Panchan has consistently reflected on himself through daily prayers.
He deeply resonates with the philosophy of Eiichi Shibusawa, a figure he greatly respects.
“Economy without morality leads to disaster, and morality without economy is but a dream.”
Balancing ethics and profit is no easy task. But Panchan believes that striving for it is what makes a human being truly alive.
“We don’t live for money. We live for the soul.”
Looking Towards the Future
“We are witnessing a historic moment.”
Web3, DAO, NFT, Metaverse— these are not just trends.
They hold the power to transform the world itself.
“A future where everyone is a creator, and everyone is an owner.”
Panchan sincerely believes in such a society. That is why he continues to write code, create music, and invest.
The future will not arrive simply by waiting. It must be “created.”
Epilogue
Panchan is full of contradictions.
A cool-headed engineer, yet a passionate artist. A prudent investor, yet an innocent dreamer.
And yet, all of these facets are genuinely him.
“I just want to keep moving forward.”
——Panchan’s journey has only just begun.
