On a mission to prevent crimes against children.
WHY WE DO THIS ?
It's because I am a survivor of sexual assault, first victimized when I was four years old. I found the courage to report to the police, and some cases even went to trial.
But from those experiences, all I gained was pain.
I tried to forget what happened, and I tried not to see what was happening in the world. But when my elder daughter turned four, a sudden fear overcame me, and I realized that I had been protecting only myself—while showing my daughters that this awful world was their future.
I promise my daughters, and my four-year-old self,
that I will never let anyone feel this way again.
That’s why I’m starting this mission.
OUR MISSION
Children play freely, laugh
wholeheartedly, and return home with
joy and peace of mind.
We are committed to protecting a world
where this simple truth should always
be possible for future generations.
ABOUT SASENAI
The name "SASENAI" comes from the Japanese word meaning
"to prevent something before it happens."
SASENAI is a security device and app designed to detect potential dangers, much like the body cameras worn by police officers. It is equipped with crime prevention features that can help stop incidents before they occur.
Additionally, it automatically creates evidence by recording and documenting what happens through both video and audio.

Nippon Compass Law Firm
Legal Advisor
When our CEO Ono experienced a case of sexual
assault that developed into a court trial, it was
attorneys Mochizuki and Kimura from the Japan
Compass Law Office who defended her over the
course of nearly two years. Although more than
ten years have passed since the conclusion of the
trial, which became the catalyst for the founding of
our company, we have asked attorneys Mochizuki
and Kimura for renewed legal support, and they
are now serving as our legal advisors.
