The Founder ：
|
While still a university student, Hidemasa Ootani founded his first company,
Big Boss, which eventually led him to establish LD&K Inc. Where most independent labels in Japan focus strictly on music and talent management,
Hidemasa decided not to limit himself and has turned his company into both a successful music label and a successful restaurant business. Since opening his first cafe in Shibuya in 2001, he has gone on to create numerous cafes,
bars, restaurants, and clubs in Tokyo, Osaka, and Okinawa, all of which are well known for not only good music and good food, but also for their stylish interior design, most of which Hidemasa designed himself. With such a humble and driven president, LD&K Inc is sure to continue growing at rapid speed and further its name as one of the most respected independent companies in Japan.
