Tokyo Tsushin Group

Tokyo Tsushin Group (株式会社東京通信グループ) is a Japanese holding company headquartered in Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market under the ticker 7359. It was originally founded in May 2015 as Tokyo Tsushin Co., Ltd. (株式会社東京通信), with the stated purpose of developing and operating smartphone applications. Over the following decade the company broadened its portfolio into advertising agency work (later renamed the Media Business), investment, and — through the 2021 acquisition of Tifaret Co., Ltd. — a Platform Business. In April 2023 it moved to a holding-company structure and changed its trade name to Tokyo Tsushin Group. The group describes its mission as creating services that enrich people's hearts, and frames its business around the slogan of turning "fun" into a business. Its reported segments are the Media Business, the Platform Business, the Fan Business, and other activities. The Media Business covers advertising and internet media operations; the Platform Business, launched after the Tifaret acquisition, covers platform-type services; and the Fan Business covers fan-club and entertainment-related offerings. Group companies include Tifaret, Tetra Chroma, Palma, TeT, T-PRO, DVI, TT MASK, Tokyo Tsushin Capital and numerous limited liability partnerships and game studios such as ONIGIRI GAMES, KOTATSU Lab, KARAAGE GAMES, THUNT, JAYKEI GAMES and CHICKEN SKIN. Publicly disclosed activities include mobile game publishing (for example the casual game app "Dame Koi - Yamikare Collection," which the company said reached the top of the overall ranking on the Korean App Store), fan-club operations (such as the Okada Sayaka Official Fanclub), digital signage installations (an LED vision installation at Urawa Gakuin High School), and consumer campaigns (an "ANA Pocket x Poimu" summer campaign). The company also runs an investment arm, Tokyo Tsushin Capital, and investment partnerships such as BASE Partners Fund 1. As of its company overview, Tokyo Tsushin Group reports capital of 613 million yen, a December fiscal year-end, and a representative director, president and CEO, Yuki Furuya. Its headquarters moved to the Sumitomo Fudosan Roppongi Grand Tower in Minato-ku in November 2022. The group states that roughly 40% of its staff are women and about 10% are non-Japanese, and it promotes paperless operations and employee health programs as part of its CSR activity.

Tokyo Tsushin Group traces its origins to May 2015, when Tokyo Tsushin Co., Ltd. (株式会社東京通信) was established with the primary purpose of developing and operating smartphone applications. The company was founded in Japan and initially focused on the mobile app space. In February 2017, seeking to expand its business portfolio, the company began an advertising agency business, which later became its Media Business. In July 2017 it added an investment business, again as part of portfolio diversification. These moves marked the company's transition from a single-focus app developer into a multi-segment operator. A major turning point came in December 2020, when the company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers Market (now the Growth Market) under securities code 7359. The listing gave it access to public capital markets and supported further expansion. In April 2021, the company made Tifaret Co., Ltd. (株式会社ティファレト) a wholly owned subsidiary and launched its Platform Business, adding a new pillar alongside media and investment. In November 2022, the headquarters and group subsidiaries relocated to the Sumitomo Fudosan Roppongi Grand Tower in Minato-ku, Tokyo, consolidating group operations in central Tokyo. In January 2023, the internet business was renamed the Media Business, reflecting a clearer segment identity. Then, in April 2023, the company transitioned to a holding-company structure and changed its trade name from Tokyo Tsushin Co., Ltd. to Tokyo Tsushin Group Co., Ltd. (株式会社東京通信グループ). This reorganization positioned the group as a parent company overseeing a portfolio of subsidiaries across media, platforms, fan business and other activities. By the mid-2020s the group's public communications highlighted a range of activities: mobile game publishing, fan-club operations, digital signage installations, consumer campaigns and investment vehicles. Its stated segments are the Media Business, Platform Business, Fan Business and other. Group companies listed in its company overview include Tifaret, Tetra Chroma, Palma, TeT, T-PRO, DVI, TT MASK, Tokyo Tsushin Capital, and numerous limited liability companies and game studios such as ONIGIRI GAMES, KOTATSU Lab, KARAAGE GAMES, THUNT, JAYKEI GAMES, CHICKEN SKIN, SVF Service, MAKURU and others, as well as investment partnerships including BASE Partners Fund 1. The group reports capital of 613 million yen and a December fiscal year-end. Its representative director, president and CEO is Yuki Furuya. In its CSR disclosures, the company states that about 40% of its staff are women and about 10% are non-Japanese, and it promotes paperless operations and employee health programs.
