An employee of Aflac Japan since 1985, Tadashi Kobayashi works in Aflac Japan’s education
department. In addition to being an Aflac employee, he is an Aflac claimant who takes pride
in sharing the life-changing financial protection Aflac products can provide when a serious
illness such as cancer grips a family. Following his wife’s passing several years ago after
battling cancer, Mr. Tadashi has presented his story and experiences about his wife’s fight
against cancer to more than 15,000 people at many dierent venues. He says, “From the
perspective of someone who experienced a family member’s battle with cancer, and also as
an employee of Aflac, I feel strongly about conveying the necessity of the product. When a
serious illness such as cancer strikes, it takes a psychological, physical, and economic toll
on a family. While we may not be able to prevent the sickness or disease, Aflac products
can help financially prepare a family when they need it most so their loved one can seek the
best treatment and avoid some of the associated financial worries.”
