| Hideo Nakayama, the founder of Sun Chlorella Group was born in 1915 in Rebun island where is located in the northernmost part of Japan. |
| After World War II, although his business in Kyoto was successful, he was attacked by various diseases because of overwork in a long-term military life. When he was settling his business in order to concentrate on the medical treatment, there was fateful encounter with chlorella. Due to his tremendous amount of effort, he miraculously recovered thanks to chlorella. Then, he made a decision to devote the rest of his life for the research and the spread of chlorella as he believed that letting everyone realize the joy of recovery from diseases and the wonderfulness of chlorella to many people is a divine decree for him. |

In 1969, at the age of 54, he established a chlorella sales agency "Heian Chlorella Jeffcy Co., Ltd." in Kyoto with his wife. Initially, he began to sell the products at the store, however, he felt the need of "Increasing the consumer recognition of chlorella", "Providing credibility and comfort of our products to many customers" and "Conveying correct product information to customer directly". So he changed the selling method to introducing the direct-selling method by mail-order system. |
| He worked on research of chlorella and never became bloated with his pride by chlorella being appreciated. Although chlorella became popular, he continued the research for making the chlorella with the best quality always. In that regard, it is also shown clearly that our proprietary pulverization method of chlorella cell wall was recognized as a patent both in Japan and the U.S. |

On the other hand, as he thought that there was no border for wishing health, he had also started to spread chlorella overseas. The recent annual sales of Sun Chlorella Group is about JP(Yen)20 billion. Even today Sun Chlorella Corporation grew up to be a leading company in Kyoto, we have been inheriting Nakayama's foundation spirit and his ethics with each company of the Sun Chlorella Group. |
