IOEA設立をお祝い申し上げます。オタク文化という、この我々の遊び場は国境や人種や個々の文化を超え、世界規模となっていくことは間違いありません。まだ見ぬ才能、まだ見ぬ作品、実に楽しみです。これを機に、世界中のオタク文化を楽しむ方々、そして作る方々と楽しいことができればこれに勝る喜びはありません。今後も皆に楽しんでもらえるよう、微力を尽くす所存です。

My deepest congratulations on the launch of the IOEA. I have no doubt that our playground of otaku culture, will transcend national boundaries, race, and various cultures, and ultimately go global. I am very eager to meet talented people and their works that I have not come into contact yet. Nothing would give me more joy if the creation of the IOEA will provide the opportunity for me to be able to do fun, interesting things with others around the world that enjoy otaku culture. While what I can muster might be limited, I will work hard to deliver creations that hopefully you will find enjoyable.
