After 18 years as private kindergarten teacher in Tokyo, and 10 years as visiting caregiver, Mariko Kanemoto currently supports medical and welfare workers and educators mainly as a caring coach.
A depression developed as a result of the death of her favorite grandmother when she was in her thirties. At the times she felt that she had lost her balance between the mind and body, she met Dr. Patch Adams who was made famous in the American movie "Patch Adams."  It turned into a turning point in her life. Starting with a clown tour in Russia in November 2003, She along with Patch Adams visited various hospitals and medical facilities such in China, Tibet, Italy, Ecuador, the USA. She had been involved with Patch Adams as he helped organized clowns from all over the world, including Japan.

Mariko Kanemoto is currently spreading clown activities in Japan. She is also the main representative of Clown One Japan. This group visits elderly facilities, hospitals, child care facilities, and affected areas nationwide. Seminars, lectures and workshops done by Kanemoto-san and Clown One Japan use clown-like communication and Adler-style coaching methods. More than 800 people, including beauty specialty schools, medical students, NPO groups, medical and welfare workers, etc., are participating in these events. In addition, she started "Clown Ambassador in April 2016 for medical and nursing care facilities." More than 100 people have participated from all over the country. She is  now trying to train clowns that can perform even in the areas of medical care, nursing care and education.
