Shogo Okada, a current model and the head of the modeling agency VELBED., is deeply engaged in farming activities rather than just agriculture.
He cultivates crops in a field in Doshi Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, and actively works as the Director of the workwear brand KEIMEN for farming activities.
This time, we will delve into the persona of Okada and introduce his activities as the Director of KEIMEN.
