BUNPAPPA

Provide opportunities to learn Japanese and cultivate the power of connecting people through language.

To create a place where parents and children with various backgrounds can support and learn from each other,

we operate “Japanese language classes for infants and toddlers” and a “multicultural parenting community.”

Play with language and expand your world together.

Warm communication will become your power.

Mission

To create a society where everyone can live with peace of mind,

have increased choices in life, regardless of their background,

and where individuals can make their own choices.

Our Name

“BUNPAPPA” was named by 1year-old daughter at the time.
It was difficult to come up with a name for the organisation that would describe what we wanted to do in one word.
One day I asked my daughter, “What do you think?” and she said “BUNPAPPA”.

Even babies who can’t speak yet can vocalise easily “BUNPAPPA”, and love the sound of fun.

Furthermore, the future is an era of creating new meanings without being bound by existing meanings and values. I thought it would be good to use “BUNPAPPA”, which has no fixed meaning, as our organization name and create its meaning as we work.
