What is Himeguri?
Formal name: Himeguri (灯巡) Subtitle: Your neighborhood AI consultation room
Himeguri is the foundational infrastructure layer of the Nagibi brand. It builds a nationwide Toshibito network as an AI association business.
“灯” (hi/light) represents the Toshibito’s flame --- kindling light at faded waypoints. “巡” (meguri/wander) means to circulate --- the defining verb of Jungo Sakamoto’s life. Kindle a light, then journey onward to the next darkness.

- AI is not the business itself --- it is used as infrastructure
- Our responsibility does not end at teaching --- it extends until you can earn on your own
