A Message from Hiroaki Kitano,
Our President

We are here for
creators to pioneer the future of creation

We believe creators are not just artists but researchers, engineers and entrepreneurs. Creation should be defined in the broadest sense; it can be art, science, entertainment and even sustainability.

Ultimately, we are exploring the potential of human creativity. Our role is to inspire creators with groundbreaking tools and new ways of thinking, augmenting their creativity and helping them pioneer what’s to come.
