Daisuke Enomoto

Daisuke Enomoto is the kind of guy who operates entirely off the radar, and honestly that makes him more interesting to me, not less. He sold his company to what became Livedoor, served as its chief strategy officer, and then trained at Star City for a Soyuz flight that was cancelled on medical grounds, which is not a quiet résumé. Growing up in Chiba and coming out of a Ryutsu Keizai University-affiliated school isn't the flashiest origin story, but underdog starts tend to make for the most interesting second acts. What he does next is exactly the question that keeps nagging at me.
