Tsuneo Kusunoki (楠 恒男, Kusunoki Tsuneo) (born June 14, 1947) is the founder of the now-bankrupt GEOS Corporation, previously one of the major eikaiwa (private school for conversational English) providers in Japan.
In 1973, roommates Kiyoshi Aki and Tsuneo Kusunoki founded the company AMVIC, an acronym of the phrase, "AMbition and VICtory."
In 1989, Kusunoki's branch of AMVIC International entered negotiations with Warner Pacific College to assume control of 49% of its physical plant for $6 million, a 30-year lease on the schools facilities, and a seat as a regent of the school.
Kusunoki, who has not been present at the press conferences, has said "the bankruptcy was filed by a member of the board and a small group of employees.
Specifically, those that filed the bankruptcy were board member Kazumi Sugihara and two employees.
