Martyn Naylor’s life trajectory is extraordinary and impactful, taking

on diverse roles as an economics and business professor, advertising

agent, and theater agent, rubbing shoulders with influential figures

such as General Douglas McArthur, Henry Kissinger, Imelda Marcos, and

nationally treasured kabuki actors in Japan. He studied at the London

School of Economics with other international students. He went on to

advise small businesses in the US, where his boss put his name down as a

candidate for the US Presidency in the 1960 elections. Martyn traveled

to 59 countries for marketing analysis and eventually settled in Japan,

where he began his advertising career with Leo Burnett. He later

established his company, Naylor Hara International, and successfully

introduced Dutch dairy products to Japan. Despite his success in

advertising, Martyn’s love for theater, a constant flame since the age

of 7, eventually took over. He was graced with the Most Excellent Order

of the British Empire for his honorable contributions. Martyn is

passionate about his life’s work, bringing British theater to Japan.
