What is Kizuna?

About Our Name

Kizuna is a Japanese word meaning "bond."

In our experience, leadership in our community is built not only by the development of skills and education but more importantly through experiences and passion. We hope that our organization will serve as a conduit to build a bond and a connection between a next generation of leaders and our community.

Our Vision:

We envision a Nikkei community revolutionized by a new generation of community stakeholders, working in solidarity with others to ensure a just society where vibrant communities nurture and engage future generations.


Our Mission:

As part of the AAPI community, Kizuna’s mission is to build a vibrant Nikkei community by:

  • Creating an empowering culture and environment
  • Engaging and advocating for the community by igniting the passion of young Japanese Americans
  • Building collective identity through multi-generational and multi-ethnic collaborations
