Thank you for reading. My name is OZ, and I will be writing this employee introduction article. I will talk about what led me to join Dandelions and my impressions since joining the company.
What led me to join
I first learned about this company at a career fair held at my university. I had always been interested in the IT industry, and while searching for IT-related companies among the many companies participating in the fair, I happened to notice this company. When I spoke with them at their booth, I was attracted not only by the content of their presentation but also by the warmth conveyed by the expressions and manner of speaking of their employees. I decided without hesitation to apply for an internship at this company. During the internship, I had the opportunity to experience actual work while interacting with the employees, and I was strongly drawn to their personalities and the workplace atmosphere. Given my existing interest in the IT industry, the desire to work for this company naturally solidified over time.
Impressions after joining
The first thing I noticed when I joined the company was how supportive everyone was. I started my career as a new graduate with no idea what I was doing, but my seniors guided me patiently, allowing me to take each step forward with confidence. What stands out most in my memory is the programming training. The curriculum covered the basics thoroughly, and there was an atmosphere where I could ask questions whenever I didn’t understand something. Thanks to the guidance tailored to my pace, I was able to deepen my understanding without feeling rushed. Additionally, in the business etiquette training, I learned the basics of being a professional, such as how to handle phone calls, write emails, and exchange business cards. The words of a senior colleague, “Everyone starts as a beginner, so it’s okay,” still serve as a source of encouragement for me. In this supportive environment, I can feel myself growing little by little, and my belief that “joining this company was the right choice” grows stronger each day.
About me
My hobbies include gaming and sports, especially bowling and soccer. Recently, I have been focusing on strength training, with the goal of gaining 5 kg. I also love exploring new ramen restaurants, and when I have time, I enjoy searching for new places to try. Although I am still new to the workforce, I aim to grow by learning new things every day.
One of the best ramen dishes I’ve ever eaten.
That’s all for this time. Stay tuned for the next employee introduction!
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read this. I’m Hirotomaru from Team 0, and I joined the company in April 2025. I’ll be writing this employee introduction article. I’d like to share about what led me to join Dandelions and my thoughts after joining.
What led me to join
The reason I joined was because my career advisor recommended an internship at Dandelions, and I felt that the company had a really nice atmosphere. I studied programming at university and wanted a job where I could make use of those skills. I attended various company information sessions and internships, and while each had its good points, I eventually became unsure of which company to choose. At that time, my homeroom teacher strongly recommended the Dandelions internship—even saying they’d want to join themselves—so I decided to participate. When I actually joined the internship, I was struck by how warm and welcoming everyone was and how there were people with all kinds of values and perspectives. From that experience, I thought, “It seems like it would be fun to work here,” and decided to apply to Dandelions.
Impressions after joining
It’s been about three months since I joined, and I’m still in training. Whenever I have questions, my seniors quickly help me out, and I’m also having a great time with my fellow new employees—overall, it feels like a really good environment. Before joining, I was worried that the reality of the job might be totally different from what I had imagined, but thankfully, that wasn’t the case and I feel relieved. Right now, I’m studying JAVA, SQL, and business etiquette. There have been times I was confused by unfamiliar tools and programming languages, but I’ve gradually started to understand them. As for polite speech and manners, I didn’t have much practice with them, so I was really nervous at first when handling phone calls or greeting visitors—it was tough and didn’t go well in the beginning. I still feel a bit anxious about whether I’ll be able to handle actual work properly, but I’m determined to do my best.
About me
My hobbies are playing games and watching anime. Also, I like eating sweets. Among sweets, I especially love gummy candy and often buy and eat them. My favorite is Haribo—I even buy the big box and keep it stocked. I often bring snacks from home and eat them during breaks in training to refresh myself.
That’s all for this time. Please look forward to the next employee introduction!
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Nice to meet you!! I’m “Ryu-chan,” and I joined the company this year!!
I’m originally from Nagoya City in Aichi Prefecture, and before joining the company, I studied programming at a vocational school.
Why I Joined the Company
Back when I was a student, I aspired to become a police officer. As I studied, I became particularly interested in cybercrime and wanted to become a cybercrime investigator. That led me to enroll in a vocational school where I could study IT. At first, I had no experience with computers—I didn’t even know how to open a file. There were times when I felt discouraged, but as I studied a wide range of topics like security, databases, and website development, I developed an interest in working in the web industry. While searching for a web-related company, I attended a company information session at school and became interested in Dandelions Co., Ltd., which led to my decision to join.
My Impressions After Joining
It has now been two months since I joined, and I’ve learned many things, including professional etiquette, programming, and networking. At first, I was extremely nervous and unsure if I could make it as a working adult. However, the company atmosphere is very positive, and everyone is kind and quick to help when I’m in trouble. My three fellow new hires are also wonderful people. Even when we run into things we don’t understand during training, we work together as a group of four to support each other and grow together. Since the company also has many foreign employees, I feel it’s a great environment where I can experience diverse cultures. I’m truly glad I joined Dandelions Co., Ltd. Although there’s still a lot I can’t do yet, I’ll keep giving it my all and strive to become someone others can rely on.
About Me
My hobby is snowboarding! What I love about snowboarding is the beautiful scenery after getting off the lift or gondola—no matter how many times I see it, I’m always moved by how stunning it is. Every winter, I go to various ski resorts with friends and spend long days snowboarding—from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m. on longer days. This March, I went to Teine Ski Resort in Hokkaido for our graduation trip. Compared to the ski resorts I usually go to in Gifu or Nagano, the snow quality was amazing, and I had a great time!

Conclusion Right now, I’m studying hard to earn the IT Passport certification. (I’m determined to pass it during training!) I study for about two and a half hours at the office and at least one hour at home every day. There are still many things I don’t understand, and I know I lack technical knowledge in some areas, but I want to take the initiative to learn and do my best so I can keep up with my seniors. Thankfully, I’m in an environment where my managers and seniors are always willing to teach me carefully, which makes things much easier. I’ll continue working hard so I can grow into someone who can lead Dandelions Co., Ltd. into the future!
That’s all for now. Please look forward to the next employee introduction!
Thank you for taking the time to read this! Nice to meet you. I’m Pudding, and I joined the company in April 2025! Today, I’d like to share how I came to join Dandelions and what led me here.
Why I Joined the Company I attended an IT vocational school in Nagoya for four years. Initially, I was in the white-hacker track and focused on studying cybersecurity. However, as I was exposed to various fields through my classes, I started thinking, “I don’t just want to study security — I want to be able to build systems and design as well!” From there, my interests expanded to web system development and web design. I chose additional classes and began studying those areas.
When I started my job search, I wanted to put what I had learned into practice, so I focused on companies related to web systems. With help from my school, I joined an internship at Dandelions. The company had a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and since there were many employees from overseas, I found the different cultures and perspectives very interesting. That’s when I thought, “I definitely want to work here!” — and that was the turning point.
My Impressions After Joining I’ve just joined and am currently in training. We’re not only learning technical skills and preparing for IT certifications, but also receiving thorough guidance on business manners and how to communicate across cultures. That said, as a new graduate, I still struggle with things like manners and often make mistakes. I’m doing my best every day to get used to everything quickly.
There are many people from different countries at the company, and since I’ve never been in such an environment before, it all feels very new. It’s fun discovering different cultures and ways of communicating every day. I hope to continue interacting with everyone and learning as much as I can!
About Me I’m from Tajimi City in Gifu Prefecture. Some of you may know it’s famous for being a very hot town. Have you heard of “Unagappa,” the city’s mascot? Tajimi is known for its eel dishes, and Unagappa is a character that combines an eel and a kappa (a mythical river creature). The character was actually designed by none other than Takashi Yanase, the creator of the famous “Anpanman” series! It’s quite cute and I’ve grown fond of it, so please look it up if you’re interested.
Also, I absolutely love Disney! Whenever I have time, I like to visit the parks, watch movies, or buy Disney merchandise. I haven’t had a chance to visit since joining the company, so I’m hoping to go sometime around autumn.
Thank you so much for reading this far! That’s all for now. Please look forward to the next employee introduction!
Self-Introduction Hi, my name is Tim, and I work at Dandelions. I’m 28 years old, and this is my third year living in Japan. I’m originally from Kazakhstan, a fast-developing country in Central Asia with a strong focus on natural resources. Winters there can get extremely cold — around -30 to -35°C — so Japan often feels surprisingly warm to me!
I’ve had the opportunity to live in several countries, which has allowed me to thrive in dynamic, multicultural environments. I’m also used to working with people from diverse backgrounds and using multiple languages in professional settings.
Also, my favorite place in Japan is Takayama in Gifu Prefecture. Ever since I first visited Takayama, I was totally captivated by the traditional Japanese village atmosphere. Exploring places like Takayama always helps me find inner peace and really helps me relax from city life.
Below are some photos I took in that amazing place.
Why I Joined the Company While studying at a Japanese language school, I learned about the International Job Fair held at Wink Aichi. I spent the entire day there, speaking with various company representatives, and that’s when I discovered Dandelions. I immediately felt that the company’s mission and values aligned with what I was looking for.
What truly impressed me was the diversity within the team — we have members from nine different countries! I strongly believe that people from different backgrounds bring fresh ideas and unique perspectives, which drive innovation and teamwork. After having in-depth conversations with Dandelions employees, I became confident in taking the next step and joining the team.
My Impressions After Joining Since joining Dandelions, I’ve gained valuable skills and experiences. This is also my first time working in a Japanese company, and I truly value the opportunity.
Here are a few key points I’d like to highlight:
1. Language I studied Japanese for about two years before joining the company, but working in a professional environment took my learning to another level. Japanese is certainly more complex than the languages I’ve used in my previous work experiences. Although there are occasional language misunderstandings, my seniors and coworkers are always patient and supportive. Many of my colleagues from international backgrounds also speak English, and we’re always willing to help each other out.
2. Skills Development Working at Dandelions has significantly expanded my knowledge of the IT industry. The company fosters a growth-friendly environment where learning and experimenting are encouraged.
Before joining, I had experience in certain areas of marketing. Since coming on board, I’ve gained new skills in using AI for content creation, storytelling, and video editing — all of which are highly relevant in today’s fast-changing digital landscape.
3. Japanese Corporate Culture Another highlight has been learning about Japanese corporate culture, which is quite different from Western work environments. It has its own rhythm and charm. I’ve learned to pay attention to small details and to value the process itself — not just the end result.
I’m truly happy to be part of such a supportive and inspiring workplace. I look forward to continuing to grow and contributing to the team’s success.
