📨 For partnerships and sponsorships:
uptomokai.linkages@gmail.com TOMO-KAI is an organization that started from the pursuit of seven students now known as the 7 SAMURAI (Deric, Eric, Alf, Kit, Gay, Flor, and Daniel) who were interested in the Japanese culture and language. With this came their desire to promote their newfound fascination to the Filipinos and also serve as instrument in fostering mutual relations and understanding between Filipinos and Japanese. For many years, we have proven our worth as a vital instrument in fostering and strengthening the better relations and understanding between Filipinos and Japanese. The organizations annual exhibits of various Filipino and Japanese arts, usually held during its anniversary, have been one of the most admired presentations in the university. The organization also conducts series of learning seminars where the members and the Japanese interact and eventually gain better awareness of each others culture. When Japanese students from Nihon Fukushi University, Takushoku University, Meiji Gakuin Daigaku, Soka Daigaku, and other Japanese schools visit, the organization makes it a point to participate with them in and entertain them through fun-filled activities and gatherings, which will make their stays memorable. Tomo-Kai also keeps in touch with U.P.s very own Japanese exchange students residing for a longer time (usually for a year) in U.P.s International Center. It is the dream of the past and present members of U.P. Moreover, these are not only concentrated on culture itself but also on the meaning of friendship. The various activities help foster amiable relations between Filipinos and Japanese, also between fellow Filipinos, specifically through Out-Reach Programs that we hold at least once a year.
