KINOTA BRAITHWAITE
The Anti-Bullying Guy in Japan®
All Children Deserve A Happy Life
When My Daughter Was Bullied,
I Had No One to Turn To..
So I became the person that
I was looking for:
Hi, I’m Kinota Braithwaite, a father, author, and speaker living in Japan.
My journey began when...
My daughter came home from her Japanese elementary school and quietly said:
“I am being bullied because of
my skin color.”
But in that moment, she didn’t feel like she belonged and as her father, it almost broke me.
But it also moved me to act.
That message began to spread and opened doors
I never expected:

Turning Pain Into Purpose
When my daughter was bullied,
I had nowhere turn.
So I created resources to tools to help
parents, educators, and schools navigate
these moments with courage and compassion.
