Composer. Inventor! Patent attorney? School director? Musician Kota Ogawa

Hello, my name is Fumika Mabuchi.

This time, we will continue to introduce Kota Ogawa.
As mentioned last time, he is a musician who moved to Kamakura over 10 years ago and is active in the local area.
In his private life, Kota is married and a father of two children.

She enjoys going to the beach and other places with her children.
Furthermore, when he was living in his previous home, he got his neighbors and friends involved and built a treehouse in the garden.
There are swings and a slide there.

To find out how the treehouse was built, please see the article below ( "How to build a treehouse out of driftwood. You can do it too." ).

I envy such an active dad!!
That being said, Kota actually has another side to him.
If you look at her social media profile...

Inventor?!
Composer. Yes, yes, that's right.

Patent attorney!!
School Trustee!!!
The great-grandson of the founder of NEC!!!
Musician. Mmhmm, yeah.

The head of a corporation... in other words the president!!!

Huh, Kota??
How many pairs of sandals do you have?!

For a while after I met him, I only knew him as a musician, so when I found out this, I was confused.

What's more, he is the inventor of "flick input," which is probably used by many people today.
I used it too, or rather I thought it was convenient and used it frequently, so I was really surprised.
The story of how he came to invent flick input has been summarized by him on Note ( "The Secret Story of the Invention of Flick Input" ), so be sure to read it.

In 2021, he launched Edison Lab Co., Ltd. and has since released a number of products.

・When waiting for waves
・When washing dishes
・When you are taking a bath

It seems that ideas come to him at times like these.

"But when an idea comes to me, I'm usually not in an environment where I can immediately access my smartphone, so I often forget about it," says Kota.

It's true, my ideas come to me when I'm near water.
So that means you have a lot of ideas that haven't been born yet?

I can't help but be curious about these ideas that haven't yet taken shape, but I'll wait for them to come to me again as ideas.The ones that have already been made into products are currently on sale on Amazon .

And for more information on the other interesting position, "school director," please see this article ("Why we created Shonan Hokulea Gakuen").

Kota-san already has a lot going on, but is there anything new he would like to try?
"My friend's family is traveling around the world in a camper van, so I admire them."

Amazing, so active everywhere!
I wish I could share a little of that activity with you.

Additionally, Kota's musical unit, Ogawa Kota & Tomason, is scheduled to perform live at Enoshima Toramaruza on May 14th, so be sure to check out their official website!
