Leach Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takuya Tominaga; hereinafter “Leach”) made a donation on August 12, 2026, through the National Institute of Technology to the laboratory of Professor Shunsuke Oshima of the Center for Information Education and Security at the Yatsushiro Campus of the National Institute of Technology, Kumamoto College, CEO Tominaga's alma mater.
The 2026 Kumamoto Earthquake on July 28 registered a maximum seismic intensity of 7 in Uki City and Hikawa Town. In Yatsushiro City, the earthquake disrupted daily life through water outages, suspension of city gas service, and the opening of evacuation shelters. We extend our sincere sympathies to everyone affected by the disaster.

Comment from CEO Takuya Tominaga
At Yatsushiro National College of Technology (now the Yatsushiro Campus of Kumamoto Kosen), I studied computer science under Professor Oshima. He has continued to offer advice from time to time since my graduation, for which I am grateful.
After learning that the 2026 Kumamoto Earthquake had significantly affected Yatsushiro, we increased the donation amount compared with our previous contribution. We hope it will be of some help to the community and to students' educational and research activities.
We will continue contributing a portion of the value created through our business to education and research.
