Tomoshibi Academy on Sunday launched Japanese Language School in Dhaka to empower Bangladeshi youth.

The academy held the inauguration of the language school at Grameen Banglar Akshay Tower, 51 Madani Avenue, Vatara, Dhaka, said a press release on Monday.


The academy is dedicated to promoting Japanese language education, strengthening cultural exchange, and fostering youth empowerment through skills development.

Komine Ken, first secretary, embassy of Japan in Bangladesh, head of public relations and culture, was present as chief guest at the ceremony.

Principal Simoshoya Takashi has expressed that Tomoshibi Academy is not only an educational institution but also a platform for community development.

‘Our vision goes beyond language training. We are committed to providing opportunities for the youth of Bangladesh, especially from underdeveloped regions such as the hill tracts, to gain valuable skills, connect with Japan, and build brighter futures for themselves and their communities.’

The academy will begin with Japanese Language Proficiency Test N5 and N4 courses, while preparing students for broader opportunities in Japan under the technical intern training programme and specified skilled worker schemes.

Through these initiatives, Tomoshibi Academy aims to open new pathways for Bangladeshi youth—empowering them with education, employment opportunities and cultural exchange, while contributing to the long-term socio-economic development of marginalised communities.
