Nippon Sangyo Suishin Kiko (“NSSK”; www.nsskjapan.com) is pleased to announce that ISI Global Inc. (“ISI” or “ISI Group”; www.isi-global.com), in which investment partnerships managed or provided with services by NSSK affiliates have a stake, has completed its investment in Togen Group Inc. (“Togen”; www.tokyolea.jp).

Togen operates a Japanese language school for Chinese students wishing to enter universities and graduate schools in Japan. Togen has unique strengths in providing guidance on higher education and, using the know-how accumulated over its 20-year history, sends many students each year to top universities and graduate schools in Japan. As a Japanese language education institution, it supports foreign students with the philosophy of producing human resources who are not only proficient in the Japanese language, but who also have a true understanding of Japan and Japanese culture, and who can contribute to global international exchange and society at a grassroots level. By teaching Japanese to foreign students, who are the leaders of the future, and by assisting them in entering Japanese universities and graduate schools, Togen seeks to develop human resources who will act as bridges between Japan and the rest of the world.
