ACTIVIST SHAREHOLDER FILES SCHEDULE 13D IN EQUUS TOTAL RETURN, INC.
Calls for Immediate Board Accountability and Strategic Review
Issues Open Letter Ahead of June 30 Annual Meeting
A beneficial owner of approximately 5.61% of the outstanding common stock of Equus Total Return, Inc. (NYSE: EQS) has filed a Schedule 13D with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and issued the following open letter to the Company’s Board of Directors and fellow shareholders. The filing represents the first public challenge to the Board’s stewardship during the Company’s fifteen-year tenure under current management. Shareholders are encouraged to review the Company’s proxy materials carefully and form their own views regarding the matters set forth below.
— Open Letter to the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Equus Total Return, Inc. —
A Record That Warrants Scrutiny
Since the current chief executive assumed control in 2011, the fund has faced persistent challenges in generating sustained value for its shareholders. The Company has reported five consecutive years of net investment losses, has paid no dividend since 2009, and last year saw its stock price fall below the NYSE minimum listing threshold. Every figure cited below is drawn directly from the Company’s own filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. My opinions, conclusions, and calls for corporate action are also based on these filings.
Net asset value per share declined to $1.19 as of December 31, 2025, down from $3.55 just two years prior and from $2.17 at year-end 2024. In absolute dollars, total net asset value of the fund — calculated as NAV per share multiplied by shares outstanding as reported in each year’s Form 10-K — dropped from approximately $48.2 million at year-end 2023 to approximately $16.6 million at year-end 2025, a loss of roughly $31.6 million in aggregate fund value, or 65%, in just two years.
The Company recorded a net investment loss of $3.7 million in 2025, its fifth consecutive year of net investment losses, including three straight years with losses exceeding $3 million. Total operating expenses for the year were $5.1 million — at a company that ended 2025 with only $133,000 in cash. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm included a going-concern explanatory paragraph in its audit report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. No dividends have been paid since 2009, meaning shareholders have waited seventeen years without any return of capital. In 2025, the Company’s stock fell below $1.00 per share, triggering a formal NYSE non-compliance notice and a near-delisting proceeding.
The portfolio today consists of two primary positions. The first is Morgan E&P, a private oil and gas company in which Equus holds a majority interest and which management values entirely on its own judgment. Morgan E&P represented 60.8% of total investments and 63.4% of net asset value as of December 31, 2025, yet generated only $177,000 in revenue during the year while recording a net loss of $7.0 million. The second is a publicly traded stake in CitroTech, Inc. (NYSE American: CITR), a developer of fire suppression products. Equus acquired its CitroTech position through a convertible note that it converted into 664,041 shares during 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the combined value of the Company’s CitroTech shares and warrants was approximately $6.8 million, making it the Company’s second-largest holding and its only meaningful source of liquidity.
Taken together, these two positions account for nearly the entirety of the Company’s portfolio. It is clear to me that Equus is not a diversified investment firm. I view it as a concentrated holding vehicle for one illiquid private energy asset and one publicly traded fire suppression company, and it charges shareholders $5.1 million per year in operating expenses for that arrangement.
Management Compensates Itself Regardless of Results
In my judgment, the executive compensation structure at Equus is the defining feature of this governance failure. In 2025, while shareholders received no dividends and watched net asset value fall by more than a dollar per share, the three named executive officers collected a combined $1,872,271 in total compensation. The chief executive received $896,943, including a base salary of $561,401. That salary is contractually required to escalate annually by the greater of five percent or the Canadian Consumer Price Index — regardless of performance — plus stock awards valued at $335,542. The secretary and chief compliance officer received $625,515, including a salary of $457,744 subject to a similar automatic escalator tied to the U.S. Consumer Price Index, plus $167,771 in restricted stock. The chief financial officer received $349,813 in total compensation under a separate fixed-base agreement. This combined executive pay is equivalent to roughly twenty-two percent of the Company’s entire non-affiliate market capitalization of approximately $8.6 million.
In September 2025, the Board granted 200,523 fully-vested restricted shares to executives and approved a new equity incentive plan reserving an additional 2,793,339 shares for future awards. Shareholders were separately asked to authorize share issuances below net asset value. In my view, these actions represent a transfer of value from shareholders to insiders at a company that has produced no positive investment income in five years. It is notable that at the most recent annual meeting, approximately 23.5% of shareholder votes were cast against executive compensation — a level of dissent that the Compensation Committee described in its own proxy as confirmation “that the Company’s shareholders support the Company’s executive compensation policies and decisions.”
Independent Directors With No Meaningful Stake in the Outcome
The three independent directors on the Equus board have, in my view, no meaningful skin in the game. Per the Company’s own proxy beneficial ownership table, Fraser Atkinson holds 45,591 shares, Henry W. Hankinson holds 19,500 shares, and John J. May holds no shares at all — a combined independent director stake of approximately 65,091 shares, or less than 0.47% of shares outstanding. These are the individuals responsible for setting executive compensation, approving share issuances below net asset value, and overseeing a portfolio that has lost more than two-thirds of its value since 2023. In my judgment, they bear virtually no personal financial consequence from any of those decisions.
The secretary and chief compliance officer — who received $625,515 in compensation in 2025 and holds 332,595 shares of the Company’s common stock — also sits on the board. Directors and executive officers as a group control approximately 30.5% of the outstanding shares, concentrated overwhelmingly in the chief executive. The three shareholders disclosing ownership above five percent are the chief executive (27.65%), a second major holder (22.71%), and the undersigned (5.61%). Non-affiliated shareholders hold the remainder yet have no meaningful representation at the table.
In my opinion, a governance structure in which independent directors hold less than one-half of one percent of shares outstanding, in which compensation escalates by contract regardless of results, and in which the chief executive controls the majority of the insider bloc, is not independent oversight. Rather, I believe it is an arrangement designed to perpetuate itself.
A Path Forward
The Annual Meeting of Stockholders is scheduled for June 30, 2026, eight calendar days from today. Equus holds real assets — a controlling interest in an energy company with identified acreage and a publicly traded position in a growing fire suppression business. The question I present is not whether value exists but whether management will unlock it or continue to extract it.
The Board should suspend all automatic base salary escalators for the chief executive and the secretary and chief compliance officer pending an independent compensation review. There is, in my opinion, no basis for contractually guaranteed annual raises — indexed to the Canadian CPI for the chief executive and the U.S. CPI for the secretary — at a company that has not generated positive investment income in five consecutive years.
Most critically, I believe the Board must engage an independent financial advisor to evaluate a recharacterization of the business through a merger with or acquisition by an operating company. The Company’s portfolio — one controlling interest in a private energy asset and one publicly traded minority stake — is not, in my judgment, a viable long-term structure for a listed investment vehicle carrying $5.1 million in annual overhead. A transaction that introduces an operating business, an active management team, and a credible growth strategy would serve shareholders far better than the current arrangement. The fair value of the primary private investment is currently determined by management with no independent validation; a third-party appraisal must be completed and publicly disclosed before any such transaction is contemplated. The Board should also commit to issuing no further shares below net asset value and making no awards under the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan until a strategic review is concluded.
Conclusion
Equus Total Return holds real assets and real value — value that, in my opinion, has been insufficiently protected under the current governance structure, which features excessive compensation, limited board independence, and directors with negligible personal stakes in the outcome. Shareholders should carefully review the Company’s proxy materials and make their own determination regarding all matters to be voted upon. I believe the assets of this Company can generate real returns under proper stewardship, and I respectfully urge the Board to take the steps outlined above in the interest of those who own the Company.

SHENZHEN, CHINA –China Medical System Holdings Limited (867.HK/8A8.SG) (“CMS”, or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that, the New Drug Application for Silevimig Injection (GR1801, the “Product”), a Class 1 therapeutic biological product has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration of the People’s Republic of China (“NMPA”) and the drug registration certificate was obtained on 22 June 2026. The Product is indicated for passive immunization in adults following rabies virus exposure.
Silevimig Injection is the world’s first fully human bispecific antibody targeting dual epitopes of the rabies virus (“RABV”), which is consistent with the recommendations of the World Health Organization (“WHO”) for a “cocktail” therapeutic paradigm. It demonstrates broad neutralization, which can effectively neutralize different viral strains or genotypes of RABV, providing immediate protection. Moreover, it is the passive immunization product with the smallest dose for rabies, resulting in less injection volume and easier administration, which can effectively reduce patient pain and improve compliance.In addition, the Product can be manufactured at scale with standardized processes and controlled production cost, and also carries no risks of blood-borne infections, low immunogenicity, and minimal interference with vaccine-induced active immunization. The market for rabies passive immunization is substantial, yet existing passive immunization products are constrained by low market penetration and limitations in safety and accessibility.The approval of the Product will provide a new treatment option for patients requiring urgent post-exposure management against rabies in China.
The approval of Silevimig Injection expands the Group’s commercialized innovative drug portfolio to 8 products, with 6 more innovative drugs under marketing review and approximately 20 projects advancing clinical development, further strengthening a tiered innovationpipeline. As of now, CMS’s innovation transformation strategy has fully entered the value-harvesting phase. Leveraging the Group’s existing expert network and market resources, the commercialization rollout of Silevimig Injection is expected to proceed steadily providing sustained momentum to the Group’s performance growth.
About Rabies
Rabies is an acute zoonotic disease caused by RABV, clinically characterized by aerophobia, hydrophobia, pharyngeal muscle spasms, and progressive paralysis[1], with a case-fatality rate approaching 100%. At present, there is no proven treatment for rabies once clinical symptoms appear. Standardized post-exposure management, comprising wound care, vaccination, and passive immunization administered as needed, remains the most effective strategy[2]. As vaccine-induced antibodies require 1-2 weeks after the first dose of vaccine injection to reach protective levels, passive immunization provides immediate coverage[1]. According to the National Technical Guidelines for the Rabies Exposure Prophylaxis (2023 Edition), patients with Category III exposure and those with Category II exposure involving severe immunodeficiency should receive passive immunization at the same time as the first dose of rabies vaccine[3]. In China, more than 40 million people are exposed to rabies annually, of whom approximately 40% fall under Category III exposure[1]. However, due to factors such as limited awareness, high cost, and restricted accessibility, only about 15% of Category III cases receive passive immunization[1]. Currently, the primary approved passive immunization option in China is human rabies immune globulin (“HRIG”). However, HRIG must be sourced from healthy donors, making it difficult and costly to obtain. Furthermore, it carries potential risks of blood-borne infections. This has led to a low penetration rate of passive immunization products in China.
More information about SilevimigInjection
Silevimig Injectionis a recombinant, fully human bispecific antibody against rabies virus. It targets the viral envelope glycoprotein (G protein) of RABV and blocks its interaction with host receptors by binding to epitopes I and III. Through this mechanism, Silevimig Injection specifically neutralizes the RABV prior to the establishment of full protection by active rabies vaccination.
In a Phase III clinical trial in adults, the Product met its primary efficacy endpoint, demonstrating non-inferior protective efficacy compared with HRIG, the currently most used passive immunization product in China. The study confirmed that the Product provides immediate protection during the early stages of rabies virus exposure without compromising the active immune response induced by vaccination. In addition, a Phase III clinical trial in children and adolescents aged 2 to <18 years is currently ongoing in China. The Product has been granted a patent in China.
In September 2025, the Group through subsidiaries of the Company entered into an Exclusive Collaboration Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Chongqing Genrix Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd.. In accordance with the Agreement, the Group has obtained exclusive commercialization rights for the Product in mainland China and exclusive licensing rights for the rest of the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East and North Africa. The collaboration term extends until ten years after the Product receives the marketing approval in Mainland China (the “Initial Term for the Product”). Unless terminated or dissolved under the terms set forth in the Agreement, the Agreement will automatically renew for successive ten-year periods upon expiration of the Initial Term for the Product.

Sui aims to transition more of Bitcoin’s $1.2T market cap into verifiable, productive onchain products.
Hashi, Sui’s native bitcoin finance primitive, gains more institutional support ahead of the scheduled launch of its global testnet this July.
Sui, where money moves as freely as messages, announced today that Cumberland, Fluid, and SwissBorg have joined the Hashi ecosystem, Sui’s native bitcoin finance primitive, weeks ahead of its scheduled global testnet launch this July. The expanding coalition addresses a critical bottleneck in crypto: solving the persistent capital inefficiency by unlocking over a trillion dollars of immobile BTC into DeFi safely.
Previous market cycles demonstrated the systemic dangers of relying on opaque, centralized credit intermediaries such as Celsius, Voyager, and Genesis to generate utility from dormant assets. Hashi replaces centralized balance-sheet trust with verifiable smart contract logic.
But with a strict separation for safety by design, Bitcoin remains securely on the native Bitcoin blockchain. Sui smart contracts handle the cryptographic and programmatic rights to enable its use as financial collateral.
“Hashi was built to unlock the productive use of Bitcoin at a scale the industry hasn’t seen before,” Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Mysten Labs, the original contributor to Sui. “We believe Bitcoin will become one of the largest sources of collateral in finance as the world moves onchain, and Hashi provides the foundation to make that possible on Sui.”
Built for Institutional Bitcoin Finance
Hashi is a foundational primitive setting a new standard for how builders can create bespoke, Bitcoin-backed financial products with risk parameters and loan terms that are fully verifiable onchain. In just a few weeks’ time, institutions, custodians, wallet providers, and developers can begin freely testing the infrastructure that will support Bitcoin-backed lending, borrowing, and credit origination on Sui.
Expanded Institutional Support
Three new powerhouses join the growing Hashi ecosystem, broadening support for institutional liquidity providers, market makers, and digital asset platforms:
Cumberland: One of the digital asset industry’s largest institutional market makers, Cumberland joins the Hashi ecosystem to evaluate the protocol’s structural frameworks and prepare for eventual onchain liquidity provisioning.
SwissBorg: A European wealth management app with over one million users, is exploring opportunities to connect its network of European high-net-worth Bitcoin holders and liquidity providers to Hashi, creating new pathways for Bitcoin-backed borrowing and lending.
Fluid: A major DeFi lending protocol with a strong record of efficient, safe trades, is now building in preparation for mainnet institutional services. Fluid’s participation would provide institutional-grade lending markets and deepen access to Bitcoin-backed credit on Sui.
These new builders join an industry-leading group of infrastructure providers, custodians, and DeFi protocols already working together to build a native Bitcoin financial ecosystem on Sui.
“Bitcoin is the world’s most liquid digital asset, but without native utility, it remains an off-chain asset,” said Paul Kremsky, Global Head of Business Development at Cumberland. “Hashi is exciting because it introduces a transparent, institutional-grade framework for BTC-backed credit that will replace synthetic workarounds with a product we are excited to use ourselves.”
“Our community has consistently sought native ways to lend and borrow against their Bitcoin,” said Cyrus Fazel, Founder & CEO at SwissBorg. “We’re thrilled to see Hashi delivering innovative solutions that make this a reality.”
“The next phase of the industry’s growth will come from bringing larger pools of capital onchain through infrastructure institutions can actually trust,” said Samyak Jain, Co-Founder & CEO at Fluid. “Hashi gets this right: Bitcoin stays on its native chain while verifiable contracts make it productive as collateral. Fluid’s lending infrastructure is built to turn that into deep, capital-efficient Bitcoin-backed credit markets on Sui.”
These additions expand the growing consensus of many partners announced earlier this year that Sui is where Bitcoin finance will take flight, thanks to Hashi:
Custody & Wallet Access
BitGo: Institutional custody clients.
Blockdaemon, Cobo, Fordefi (by Paxos): Institutional wallet and infrastructure providers.
Cubist: Cross-chain collateral infrastructure and transfer engine.
Ledger: Retail/institutional self-custody.
SwissBorg: UHNW European retail/institutional asset management and wallet interface.
Lending, Trading & Liquidity Providers
Bullish: Institutional digital asset platform supplying liquidity.
Cumberland: Leading institutional crypto market maker and liquidity provider.
Erebor: OCC-chartered bank providing liquidity.
FalconX: Institutional prime brokerage supplying liquidity.
DeFi & Lending Applications
AlphaLend, Bluefin, Current, Scallop, Suilend: Native DeFi protocols enabling retail lending and borrowing on day one.
Fluid: Connecting lending, borrowing, liquidity and more financial products into a capital-efficient system.
Navi: One of Sui’s largest and longest running DeFi protocols slated for Hashi lending.
Vaults & Asset Management
Concrete by Blueprint Finance: Yield-infrastructure vault platform.
Asymptotic, Certora, OtterSec: Smart contract security and formal verification auditors.
The activation of the global testnet this July represents the ultimate rehearsal for fully changing Bitcoin Finance. This sandbox environment is designed for institutional engineers, Sui protocols and developers, and custody partners to test integration parameters, stress-test the code under simulated market volatility, and verify cryptographic integrity ahead of mainnet release.
Technical documentation and testnet access configurations will be hosted at https://www.sui.io/hashi.

X-tosis Receives Grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to Advance Novel Parkinson’s Disease Therapy. The ward supports advancement of X-tosis’s mitochondrial approach and accelerates development of its lead Parkinson’s candidate toward the clinic.
X-tosis, Inc., a precision-medicine biotechnology company founded in 2024 and dedicated to developing novel mitochondrial therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced it has been awarded a $2.74 million grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF) through its Parkinson’s Disease Therapeutics Pipeline Program. The funding will support advancement of XTS001, the lead candidate from the company’s MitoXTS platform, a patented family of small-molecule inhibitors of voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) oligomerization, toward clinical development for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The grant was awarded following a competitive peer-review process evaluating scientific innovation and translational potential.
The MJFF Parkinson’s Disease Therapeutics Pipeline Program accelerates promising PD therapies from preclinical to clinical stages by supporting innovative approaches that address core disease mechanisms.
XTS001 is a brain-penetrant, orally available small molecule designed to selectively inhibit VDAC1 oligomerization, a pathological process increasingly recognized as a central driver of mitochondrial failure, neuroinflammation, and neuronal loss in PD. Preclinical studies in animal models of PD and AD across the MitoXTS platform have demonstrated reduced dopaminergic neuron loss, restoration of dopamine levels, and protection against key PD-associated pathologies through preservation of mitochondrial function and prevention of apoptosis triggered by cellular stressors.
“This grant from MJFF is a major milestone for X-tosis and represents a strong validation of our MitoXTS approach to addressing unmet needs in Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative diseases,” said Yotam Nisemblat, Chief Scientific Officer of X-tosis and Principal Investigator on the project. “By preserving mitochondrial integrity upstream in the neurodegeneration cascade, we aim to shift treatment from symptomatic relief to targeting underlying disease biology. We are grateful for MJFF’s support to advance confirmatory studies, biomarker development, and IND-enabling work.”
“This award from The Michael J. Fox Foundation is more than funding; it is support for further investigation of our scientific approach that mitochondrial dysfunction is a central addressable driver of Parkinson’s disease,” said Erin Henderson, CEO of X-tosis, Inc. “We believe XTS-001 represents a first-in-class opportunity to intervene upstream in the neurodegenerative cascade, potentially transforming the treatment paradigm from symptomatic management to targeting disease biology.. With MJFF’s support, we are accelerating toward IND-enabling studies and positioning XTS001 as a potential therapeutic approach for Parkinson’s disease and beyond.”
X-tosis’s MitoXTSTM platform is built upon more than five decades of pioneering research by Professor Varda Shoshan-Barmatz, PhD, a global leader in mitochondrial biology and VDAC1 specifically. Her groundbreaking work established VDAC1 as a central regulator of mitochondrial function and apoptosis, with direct implications for neurodegenerative diseases. With over 225 publications, more than 14,000 citations, and multiple patents covering VDAC1-targeted therapeutics, her discoveries form the scientific foundation of X-tosis’s pipeline.
X-tosis plans to leverage the grant to achieve key development milestones and position XTS001 for clinical trials. If successful, this work could contribute to the development of therapies with the potential to slow disease progression and improve outcomes for millions worldwide. Beyond Parkinson’s disease, the MitoXTS platform is being advanced across multiple neurodegenerative indications, positioning X-tosis with a diversified pipeline of precision mitochondrial therapeutics.

United States, 23rd Jun 2026 – In today’s rapidly evolving financial landscape, access to information is no longer the primary challenge for investors. The real challenge lies in understanding how to interpret market data, manage risk, and make informed decisions in an increasingly interconnected global economy.
As traditional financial systems converge with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and digital assets, investor education has become more important than ever. Recognizing this shift, Vorixen Global Finance Group Ltd has developed a strategy that combines financial expertise, technological innovation, and educational empowerment to help investors navigate modern capital markets.
Headquartered in New York, Vorixen Global Finance Group Ltd is a global financial and capital management organization serving investors across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. The company focuses on multi-asset investment management, digital finance research, cross-border capital solutions, and investor education initiatives designed for a rapidly changing financial environment.
The Growing Importance of Financial Education
Financial markets today are significantly more complex than they were a decade ago. Investors must evaluate a wide range of factors, including inflation trends, interest rate policies, geopolitical developments, technological disruption, and the emergence of digital financial systems.
While investment opportunities have expanded, so has the need for structured financial knowledge.
Vorixen Global Finance Group Ltd believes that long-term success in capital markets begins with education. Rather than focusing solely on short-term market activity, the company promotes a broader understanding of investment principles, portfolio construction, risk management, and macroeconomic analysis.
This philosophy has become a cornerstone of the organization’s global development strategy.
Creating a Knowledge-Driven Investment Ecosystem
To support investor development, Vorixen established the Vorixen Institute of Global Finance (VIGF), a global education and research platform dedicated to financial literacy and professional growth.
VIGF provides educational resources covering a broad spectrum of financial topics, including:
Global stock markets
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
Foreign exchange systems

Digital finance and tokenized assets
The institute’s objective is not only to teach financial concepts but also to help individuals develop analytical thinking and strategic decision-making skills that can be applied across different market conditions.
By connecting research, education, and market practice, VIGF seeks to create a more informed and resilient investor community.
Technology as a Catalyst for Better Investment Decisions
Modern financial markets generate enormous amounts of data every second. Successfully navigating this environment requires more than traditional analysis methods.

Germany, 23rd Jun 2026 – As artificial intelligence continues to move from research laboratories into everyday life, discussions surrounding digital literacy, technological awareness, and responsible AI adoption have become increasingly relevant across industries. From education and healthcare to finance and business operations, AI technologies are influencing how people work, learn, and make decisions.
Against this backdrop, the Operation HOPE Global Initiative (OHGI) is expanding its focus on digital education through HOPE AI, an initiative designed to support AI literacy and promote greater understanding of emerging technologies.
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has created new opportunities for productivity, innovation, and economic development. At the same time, it has highlighted the growing need for accessible education that helps individuals understand how these technologies function and how they may impact society.
Many experts believe that digital literacy is becoming as important as traditional literacy in the modern economy. As AI-powered tools become more widely available, individuals and organizations are increasingly seeking practical knowledge that enables them to adapt to changing technological environments.
According to Professor Martin Eichenfels, technological progress delivers its greatest value when it is accompanied by education. He notes that while artificial intelligence offers significant potential, long-term success depends on ensuring that people have access to the knowledge and skills needed to engage with these technologies responsibly.
Through HOPE AI, OHGI seeks to contribute to this educational effort by encouraging greater awareness of artificial intelligence and its practical applications. The initiative focuses on supporting learning opportunities related to digital technologies while fostering discussions about responsible innovation, transparency, and the role of AI in modern society.
The initiative also reflects a broader global trend. Governments, educational institutions, and private-sector organizations around the world are investing in programs designed to improve digital skills and prepare individuals for technology-driven economies. As AI continues to evolve, educational programs that bridge the gap between innovation and public understanding are expected to play an increasingly important role.
Annika Rosenberg, advisor to OHGI, believes that access to technology education should extend beyond technical professionals. She emphasizes that individuals from diverse backgrounds can benefit from understanding how emerging technologies influence communication, business, employment, and everyday life. Expanding access to digital knowledge, she argues, is an important step toward broader participation in the digital economy.
In recent years, conversations surrounding artificial intelligence have increasingly focused on responsible development and ethical considerations. Questions regarding transparency, accountability, data governance, and human oversight continue to shape discussions among policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders. Educational initiatives that encourage informed engagement with these topics can help individuals better understand both the opportunities and challenges associated with AI adoption.
OHGI views digital literacy as a long-term investment in human development. By supporting educational outreach and knowledge-sharing initiatives, the organization aims to encourage greater confidence and understanding in an increasingly technology-driven world. The objective is not only to help people learn about artificial intelligence, but also to support critical thinking and informed decision-making as digital technologies become more integrated into daily life.
As artificial intelligence continues to transform global industries, initiatives such as HOPE AI demonstrate the growing importance of education in shaping how societies adapt to technological change. While innovation remains a driving force behind economic growth, many experts agree that education and awareness will be equally important in determining how successfully communities navigate the opportunities of the digital future.

INTRODUCTION:
One does not need dance to live.
In 1374, during the turbulent age when the Northern and Southern Courts were locked in conflict, the Northern Court’s shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, was becoming an increasingly dominant force.
Born the son of Kan’ami, head of the Kanze troupe of sarugaku performers, Oniyasha drifts through his days with a hazy question lodged in his heart: Why do people dance? His spirit remains clouded, until the day he encounters a dance that is truly “good.”
Curious, sensitive, and strikingly beautiful, the boy meets people, laughs, cries, confronts his own weaknesses, and slowly begins to shape a new form of dance for a world steeped in impermanence.
Kazuto Mihara’s groundbreaking Noh themed manga from Morning finally comes to life as an anime, filled with scenes that stir the heart and dynamic movement and chanting that can only be expressed through animation.
Directed by Toshimasa Kuroyanagi (The Great Passage, Backflip!!) and animated by Cypic (Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray, The Summer Hikaru Died), this series showcases top tier animation supported by a standout cast.
This is a story shaped by dance that may have unfolded when the boy who would one day create Noh—Zeami—was still known as Oniyasha, carried across 600 years to the present.
