Will do all the fun things!！

Picaro means “naughty boy”, or “impish” in Spanish.
As a father of three kinds, I want them to be always impish, and spend their life filled with joy and laughter. And the same goes for me too, wishing to work joyfully. I also wish all people involved to be happy and excited. Instead of thinking “I will have business with well-thought or well-organized business model”, I’ve set up the company with the concept to “will do all fun things!“
