68 years old and still taking on challenges. An introduction to Hitomi, the tax accountant
1. Tax Accountant
Nice to meet you. I am Hitomi Kurachi of the Hitomi Kurachi Tax Accountant Office. Since opening my practice in 1999, I have been providing tax and accounting support to small and medium-sized enterprises and sole proprietors for 26 years.
Many people feel that tax matters are "difficult" or "hard to consult about." I strive to provide the polite and approachable service that only a female tax accountant can offer, and I value creating an environment where clients can feel comfortable seeking advice.
In recent years, I have also focused on supporting the implementation of AI and cloud accounting, helping to improve operational efficiency and speed up management decision-making. I also work with domestic and international clients, so please feel free to consult with me.

2. Labor and Social Security Attorney / CFP
As a Labor and Social Security Attorney, I handle consultations regarding social insurance, pensions, and labor management. I strive to explain systems in an easy-to-understand manner so that sole proprietors and small and medium-sized business owners can continue their operations with peace of mind.
Additionally, as a CFP (Certified Financial Planner), I handle a wide range of money-related consultations, including asset formation, life planning, and retirement funds. I want to be a partner who thinks together with you about your overall financial life, not just taxes.
3. Kindle Author / Publishing Producer
I publish e-books on themes such as tax, AI, career, and creative writing.

4. Manga Creator
I am active in conveying difficult tax and money topics through approachable manga.
Together with my original character, "Sakurako-chan," I aim to create works that allow people to learn while having fun.

I am working on video production utilizing AI.
In addition to explanatory videos that clearly convey knowledge about taxes and money, I also produce animation and story videos featuring the original character "Sakurako-chan" as the protagonist.
I aim to deliver emotions and worldviews that cannot be fully conveyed through still images by using video.

7. Reader (Reciter)
I have been active as a reader since 2000.
I focus on stage readings and still perform about six times a year. I read works from a wide range of genres, including literature, folklore, and poetry, and I value delivering the 'power of words' and the 'world of stories' to my audience.
In 2025, I received the Reading Arts Award.
My main performances in recent years include:
Fumio Yamakawa's 'Chrysanthemum' (January performance)
Lafcadio Hearn's 'Hoichi the Earless' (March performance)
Spanish Folk Songs and Stories from Around the World (July performance)
and others.
While I work with numbers as a tax accountant, I also enjoy the world of words and stories as a reader.
8. Creation and Learning
I love learning new things and continue to engage in various creative activities outside of my work.
I enrolled in Kyoto University of the Arts at age 60 to study illustration.
I also work on pottery, oil painting, sketching, and making bread, cakes, and Japanese sweets, cherishing the joy of 'creating'.
What all fields have in common is the joy of growing while learning little by little.
I intend to continue taking on new challenges without being bound by my age.
