Message from the Founding Principal
Mirei Cecilia Hakuba (formerly Mari Murata)
Founding Principal, ICPA – The International Protocol and Etiquette Academy of Japan
The world is changing and connecting at an unprecedented speed.
In the midst of this transformation, do you feel truly confident in your own social intelligence and presence on the global stage?
At ICPA, we do not teach manners and protocol as mere formality.
We are an academy dedicated to nurturing the essential human qualities that earn trust and respect in international society.
What the world needs now is not just knowledge — but the ability to engage with others respectfully, to represent your own culture with dignity,
and to carry yourself with quiet confidence, no matter who you are with or where you are.
Studying at ICPA is not simply about acquiring skills.
It is about redefining your value and presence in a rapidly evolving global world.
I sincerely hope that this opportunity will become a powerful turning point —
a decision to invest in your own growth and become the person you are truly meant to be.
