Background
He founded Ichikara Inc. in May 2017. He became Representative Director and CEO at the founding, and the company later changed its name to ANYCOLOR. As founder he has capital behind him, and among major shareholders for the fiscal year ended April 2026 he is the largest with 43.53%. There is a wide gap to second-ranked The Master Trust Bank of Japan (trust account) with 7.85% and third-ranked Sony Music Entertainment with 5.58%.
Selection
He was the first President, with no predecessor. The year after the founding, he switched a business that had started as developing VR/MR apps to managing affiliated livestreamers. The decision to pivot was made by the founder himself, and there has been no change of president through the fiscal year ended April 2026. Since his stake exceeds 40%, whether he stays on is in his own hands.
Initiatives
In June 2022 the company listed on the Growth Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and in June 2023 moved to the Prime Market. Overseas, it narrowed its focus to the English-language NIJISANJI EN and China's VirtuaReal Project, suspending activities in India and integrating its Indonesian and Korean groups into the main organization. Revenue grew from ¥14.2 billion in the fiscal year ended April 2022 to ¥42.9 billion in FY ended April 2025, and operating income from ¥4.2 billion to ¥16.3 billion.
