Hidetsugu Izuo

Founder of KogaoAlign®︎
Director of Japan Face-Slimming Realignment Therapist Training School

Hidetsugu Izuo is the founder of the structural beauty education method KogaoAlign®︎, and the founder and principal of the Japan Face-Slimming Realignment Therapist Training School (women-only).
He provides professional education in full-body structural realignment, pelvic realignment, and facial structural realignment.

Since establishing his bodywork salon “Shingetsu Body Alignment” in 2001, he has accumulated over 24 years of hands-on practical experience in non-medical bodywork.
In 2003, he began teaching manual techniques for full-body skeletal and pelvic realignment. Through long-term practice and educational activities in Japan, his work evolved into a comprehensive structural beauty education system, including women-focused facial realignment, leading to the development of the KogaoAlign®︎ methodology.

Today, the school’s curriculum is systematically structured around KogaoAlign®︎, an original educational framework developed from extensive practical experience and teaching expertise, and refined through long-term implementation in Japan.

Since 2003, he has continuously provided education in bodywork and structural beauty for over 22 years.
Graduates trained in Japan are actively working in professional settings across various regions, demonstrating the long-term effectiveness and practical applicability of the educational system.

In 2018, he established his first international training base in Beijing, marking the beginning of his global educational activities.
This expansion was built upon the well-established educational system developed in Japan.

He has since expanded his activities to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and France.
Currently, he conducts instructor-led training programs internationally while also welcoming students from around the world to Japan for intensive in-person training.
