05 Journey
Experienced Futurist
In 1983, Kenichi Hirono joined Mitsubishi Estate. For more than 35 years, he worked at the front lines of urban development, area management, public-private collaboration, culture, and community. His practice is not only a record of achievement. It is a way of seeing where value will form next.
Joined Mitsubishi Estate and began building practical knowledge in urban development and area management: how cities are planned, shaped, and moved.
Contributed to redevelopments in Otemachi, Marunouchi, and Yurakucho, as well as Grand Front Osaka, helping form urban models that drew attention in Japan and abroad.
Advanced urban revitalization, including the use of National Strategic Special Zones, and helped realize projects involving government, companies, communities, and specialists.
Created opportunities for new urban experiences through initiatives such as Tokyo Millenario, open cafes, La Folle Journee, and Art Award Tokyo.
Helped launch and operate OCA TOKYO, a membership community where executives, entrepreneurs, researchers, and cultural leaders come together.
Today, he serves as an advisor to companies and organizations while collaborating with universities and research institutions to support next-generation leaders and address social challenges.
A Wider View
The view reachesbeyond cities.
Through opportunities to revisit the work of Yoshikichi Hirono, his father and a leader in international cooperation and development economics, his perspective has expanded beyond cities and economies, toward the sustainable development of human society. That view continues through dialogue and co-creation across generations and fields.
