Nekojarashi Inc. was founded on March 3, 2006, in Japan. The company established itself as a provider of cloud services and IT infrastructure, including domain registration and cloud storage. Its early business focused on internet-related services, and it became a registered telecommunications carrier with Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, as well as a designated JP domain name registrar. A significant turning point came in December 2017, when Nekojarashi announced a business partnership with Morpho, Inc., a company specializing in image and video processing technology. The partnership aimed to integrate Morpho's video processing technology with Nekojarashi's cloud-storage business expertise. This collaboration led to the development of a video processing cloud service.

By August 2019, Nekojarashi and Morpho unveiled a new transcode workflow feature for Setaria.cloud, along with revised pricing, at IBC2019, a major international broadcasting convention. This marked the company's entry into the cloud video transcoding market, offering high-performance transcoding and processing capabilities to media and enterprise customers.
