Ken Arbour
President
Hello, I'm Ken Arbour, president of
Century 21 SKY Realty, and I would like to introduce you
to finest group of professionals in Tokyo-my staff. O.K.,
I'm biased, but once you get to know us, I'm sure you'll
agree. First, let me say a little about myself.
I established Century 21 SKY Realty in 1985 with two friends
whose first initials represent the S and Y in SKY. Then
a lady entered the picture. My wife, Noriko Kagami, and
I took over the business in 1989, and have since been
working to build it into a successful enterprise. Nonetheless,
we found time to start a family, and we now have three
beautiful daughters.
I'm Canadian, and I came to Japan in 1982 while working
with the Canadian Forest Industry. I studied Asian History
at McGill University and earned a Masters of Urban Planning
at the University of British Columbia. |

Noriko Kagami Arbour
Director and Sales Manager
Noriko Kagami is my business partner,
my wife, the mother of my three daughters and an excellent
swimmer who held the 100-meter freestyle record at Yamanashi
Prefecture High School for many years.
Even more important, for our business, Noriko has earned
Century 21's Centurion sales rank for a Japan record 17
times. She is well connected and well respected in Tokyo's
real estate industry.
Noriko graduated from Musashi Art University and worked
as a fashion designer before getting into real estate.
She loves to cook, and to stay in shape, she swims 2K
everyday. |

Masanori Takeda
Office Leasing and Commercial Sales
Manager, Licensed Broker
What do you say about a man who negotiated
the sale of a Tokyo office property worth ¥70 billon?
I can't say enough. Without a doubt Masa, as he is known
in the office, is the key member of the SKY team. He concentrates
on commercial office leasing and commercial property and
luxury home sales.
In a previous life, Masa was the sales manager of a large
automobile dealership in Miami. He also went to school
in Florida, earning his Bachelor of Science degree form
Palm Beach Atlantic College. |

Kiyomitsu Nakagawa
Sales Section Chief and Licensed
Broker
Kiyomitsu, or "Mr. Personality" is
easily our clients' favorite agent. He focuses on residential
leasing and is known to be very down to earth. Being well-liked
helps when you're as prodigious a networker as Kiyomitsu,
He is said to know every agent and every property in the
market.
After graduating from Osaka Business College, Kiyomitsu
has traveled and spent a year in Australia. But I don't
understand how I ever hired a Hanshin Tigers fan (Go Giants,
Go!) |

Yasunobu Amano
Sales Person
While he's still relatively new
to SKY, Yasu is our man-for-all-seasons. Whether it's
residential, commercial, big, small, buying or selling,
Yasu comes to the rescue with a warm, friendly approach
that has caught the attention of our most important
clients. He seems to have quickly developed a discerning
eye for finding the right properties. Perhaps some of
the credit goes to his education at the Japan Design
Academy. Although I wish he was more discerning with
his neckties. |
