Under the slogan "Create content, inspire the world more," and the mission to "seriously and carefully create content, and change the world for the fun and better," One Publishing positions itself as a unique "media & solution company" that combines media functions with solution functions. The company is led by President and CEO Kensuke Matsui. Its headquarters are located in Nishi-Shinbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo.
