President's Note
Our journey with Deaf Life Japan Company started in 2006, when I met Yasuko Sato in Hawaii and we discussed the possibility of expanding my business into Japan. I traveled to Japan to gain a deeper understanding of the Deaf community and culture, and to explore the market potential. As the publisher of DEAF LIFE, an American magazine, for 25 years, I was excited to bring my experience and expertise to a new market.
In January 2010, we released the Japanese edition of DEAF LIFE, titled DEAF LIFE Japan. We expanded our offerings in 2012 with the launch of the Deaf Studies Academy, providing Japanese and American Sign Language classes taught by native signers, and the Deaf Youth Academy, an after-school program for Deaf children.
Deaf Life Japan Co., Ltd. is set to resume its journey in 2024, after a brief hiatus since 2018. We are committed to tackling new challenges and improving the lives of Deaf individuals in Japan. We look forward to having you join us on this journey towards a better future.
Matthew S. Moore,
President, Deaf Life Japan Co.
