On August 22 , 2025, our Cranes Club was honored to host an inspiring sharing session with our second-generation brother, Ace Inose, a 47-year-old interpreter, translator, and event producer from Japan. This gathering brought together members of our community, creating a powerful moment of connection and inspiration across our shared values.

Ace’s journey is a remarkable story of resilience and impact. Having faced significant challenges in a difficult environment during his youth, he overcame adversity with a steadfast positive mindset. His professional achievements are extraordinary, having served as a producer for major events such as JUMP Festa, Japan’s largest manga event, the prestigious Golden Disk Awards, and the 2019 Rugby World Cup. As an interpreter, Ace has worked with heads of state, politicians, C-level executives, and celebrities, and he currently serves as the Executive Interpreter for Kakao Piccoma, a leading mobile manga app. Beyond his professional success, Ace’s contributions to our community are profound. After participating in STF USA, he served as a field director in the US 2nd Gen Department, guiding and inspiring younger members. As an original board member of Cranes Club Japan, he has also built a strong network with successful business leaders within our church, embodying the collaborative and leadership spirit that defines our Cranes Club. Ace’s life serves as an ideal model for our members, illustrating the power of perseverance, integrity, and dedication to both personal growth and community building.

We are deeply grateful to Ace Inose for sharing his extraordinary journey and insights, and to all our members for making this Cranes Club event a truly memorable and impactful occasion.
