Meets

Meets (株式会社 Meets / Meets Ltd.) is a Japanese entertainment company headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo. It was established on 14 September 2020 by the theatre troupe Gekidan No Meets (劇団ノーミーツ), which had itself been born during the COVID-19 pandemic when in-person gatherings were impossible. The company describes itself as an 'entertainment factory' (エンタメファクトリー) and positions its mission around the concept of 'meets' — people meeting, encountering, discovering, and being charmed — and around the individual, momentary feeling of 'liking' something. The name Meets is intended to evoke the many meanings of the English word: people meeting people, encountering, finding, and being fascinated. Meets operates as a creative production house rather than a traditional media conglomerate. Its team includes producers, planners, screenwriters, directors, actors, designers, and a design engineer, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to entertainment. The company's leadership includes CEO Ryo Fujiwara (藤原遼), producers Kazuya Suganami (菅波和也) and Yurika Umeda (梅田ゆりか), planner/producer Yuki Hiroya (広屋佑規), screenwriter/director Yuichiro Ogu Komon (小御門優一郎), writer/director Yusuke Iwasaki (岩崎裕介), actor Otsuhata (オツハタ), designer Meguro Mizuumi (目黒水海), public relations Ogiyuka (オギユカ), planner Masato Onodera (小野寺正人), and design engineer Ryosuke Fujiki (藤木良祐). The company's origin story is closely tied to the pandemic-era shift to digital and remote performance. Gekidan No Meets gained attention for online theatrical productions at a time when conventional theatres were closed. Building on that momentum, the troupe's members founded Meets as a formal company to continue creating new challenges and to be ready for the day when audiences could gather again. The company's stated aspiration is to believe in and nurture each person's 'like' more honestly and directly than anyone else, and to increase the number of moments where people encounter what they love. Meets is a private company. Its registered address is 3-10-11 Uehara, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, in the Ascot Uehara building. The official website presents the company's philosophy, team, and contact information, and serves as the primary public face of the brand. As a young company, its portfolio and public track record continue to develop, but its identity is firmly rooted in the intersection of theatre, digital entertainment, and fan-driven creativity.

Meets was founded on 14 September 2020 by the members of Gekidan No Meets (劇団ノーミーツ), a theatre troupe that had emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. The troupe's name, 'No Meets', played on the impossibility of meeting in person during lockdowns, and its online productions found an audience at a time when conventional theatres were closed. As the pandemic continued, the troupe's members decided to establish a formal company, Meets, to continue creating new work and to prepare for the day when audiences could gather again. The company's founding statement, published on its official website, explains the motivation: 'On 14 September 2020, Gekidan No Meets, a theatre troupe born in an era when we could not meet, launches the entertainment factory Meets. We made a company because we wanted to take on new challenges together again when the day comes that we can all meet.' The name Meets was chosen for its multiple meanings — people meeting, encountering, finding, and being charmed — and because 'just as there is a meets between a boy and a girl, there is always first a meets in the moment you encounter what you like.' The company is headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, at 3-10-11 Uehara, Ascot Uehara 1-C. Its team is composed of producers, planners, writers, directors, actors, designers, and a design engineer, indicating a broad creative scope. The representative director is Ryo Fujiwara. Other members include Yuki Hiroya (planner/producer), Kazuya Suganami (producer), Yurika Umeda (producer), Yuichiro Ogu Komon (screenwriter/director), Yusuke Iwasaki (writer/director), Otsuhata (actor), Meguro Mizuumi (designer), Ogiyuka (public relations), Masato Onodera (planner), and Ryosuke Fujiki (design engineer). As a young company, Meets continues to develop its portfolio. Its public identity is built around the philosophy of nurturing individual 'likes' and creating moments of encounter between people and entertainment. The company operates as a private entity and does not appear to be listed on any stock exchange. Its official website serves as the primary source of information about its activities, team, and philosophy.
