Kotobaax
Kotoba is a Japanese word that means words. Since the business aims for maximising the 'power' hidden in language for effective and enjoyable communication, the two words ('kotoba' and 'to maximise') were combined to name this business.
The business is located in Den Haag (The Hague) in the Netherlands, and it is now run by Hiro (Hiroyuki Tanaka), who has a background both in theoretical and applied linguistics.
