We are pleased to announce that Cadinche Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takayuki Aoki; hereinafter “Cadinche”), which develops research and development of XR/AI technology, has now joined the Amana Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takeaki Kaneko; hereinafter “Amana”) group, which creatively realizes communication transformation.

With the “XR & AI Engineering Firm” as its vision, Kadinche has cultivated advanced technical expertise in the XR (VR/AR/MR) and AI (computer vision, machine learning, generative AI) fields over a long period of time. In particular, we believe that research and development of space-time and human expansion technology and agile development capabilities aimed at the PoC (proof of concept) phase are our strengths, and we have worked on joint research and contract development with many companies and academia until now.

Based on the philosophy of “bringing noise and aesthetic sense to the world,” Amana is making value proposals that expand creators' creativity and enrich the world as a leading creative production company. Now that the creative industry is entering a period of transformation due to new technologies such as generative AI, I am convinced that by multiplying Kadinche's “technical expertise” with Amana's “creativity,” it is possible to open up new creative possibilities beyond simply improving efficiency.

As a member of the Amana Group, Kadinche will continue to lead the future of the creative industry with the power of XR and AI. In particular, by combining the Amana Group's largest production knowledge in Japan with our advanced XR/AI technology, we will radically improve the efficiency of creative production processes and accelerate the development of new services that have never been seen before. We sincerely look forward to receiving inquiries about joint projects and solution development from companies and academia interested in transforming using this new capability.
