WHO WE ARE

Thank you very much for visiting our website. We would be truly delighted if the services and information provided by SAMURAI Q INFO could help open a new chapter in your golf career. Today, we would like to begin by introducing what SAMURAI Q INFO is and who we are.

What is SAMURAI Q INFO

SAMURAI Q INFO is dedicated to supporting players from outside Japan who aspire to compete on the Japanese professional golf tour. Our goal is to provide comprehensive support, including assistance with entry into Japan, Q-School registration, domestic arrangements, and even management services after a player’s professional debut. We hope that players can be free from concerns and complications related to visas and residency, allowing them to focus entirely on their professional careers in Japan.

The Japanese professional golf tour, including its developmental tours, offers a total prize fund exceeding 3 billion yen, making it a tour of considerable economic scale. We would be honored if you would consider Japan as the next stage for advancing your career.

Members of Samurai Q

Now, a brief introduction to our team. SAMURAI Q INFO is operated by three individuals: Koichiro Ishika, Akifumi Nagai, and Sotaro Shimoyama.

Ishika is an active professional golfer. He spent his university years in the United States, made his professional debut in Japan, and has since earned playing privileges on the professional tour in India. Having accumulated experience across three countries, Ishika deeply understands the type of management services that players truly need.

Shimoyama has worked in the golf industry since graduating from university. He has comprehensive knowledge of tournament operations and maintains close relationships with the Japanese professional golf tour while continuing his activities in the field.

Finally, Nagai spent his high school years in the United States and has extensive experience handling study-abroad administrative work in Japan. At tournaments, he also provides interpretation support for players competing from overseas.

With the diverse experience and expertise of these three individuals combined, we established SAMURAI Q INFO with the mission of revitalizing and internationalizing the Japanese golf industry.

If you have even the slightest interest, please feel free to contact us for consultation. You are welcome to start with something as simple as asking where to visit in Asakusa. We look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you very much.
