I have been calling myself “CRRA” since I was a sophomore in high school. I was the only researcher at the time. I put the logo on the wall of my room and wore a lab coat. I thought that if I created a form first, I could grow to match it. Mr. Muraki continued his research and developed HIYASHI, and in April 2020, CRRA was incorporated as a general incorporated association.

In 2013, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) launched the “Innovations Program” as part of its ICT growth strategy. As one of the ICT growth strategies, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) launched the “Innovations Program” with the aim of creating innovation (socioeconomic transformation). 
 The program “supports people who take on the bizarre and ambitious challenges that have the potential to create disruptive value creation in the ICT field. What makes this program unique is that it allows people to try anyway, without fear of failure. It is very rare for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications to encourage failure
 First, the finalists in the “Disruptive Challenge Category” were announced. If the finalists pass the final selection, they will receive 3 million yen per year in development assistance from the government. This was the first time for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications to offer a challenge anyway, even if it fails.
