ABOUT
GO ZAMURAI
Go Zamurai was launched by Rinichi Mikami in Brisbane in 2012.
Currently, Go Zamurai is primarily based in Melbourne, with strong connections in Brisbane, Gold Coast and Japan.
Rinichi Mikami was born in Sydney, Australia, and grew up in Japan. From his experience playing football in Japan and Australia, Rinichi realized many interesting cultural differences. These experiences would be great to share and expand for future young players.
We also organise international sports experiences for youth players and organisations. Go Zamurai also has strong skills and experience in player management.
We have also been creating strong relationships all over the world (mainly Australia and Japan) to provide outstanding opportunities for our customers.
Our strong point is our flexibility to adjust many kinds of things related to coordinating sports business, teaching sports, coaching football, and the development of human resources.
