GOKKO Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo; Representative Directors: Satoru Tanaka, Satoshi Tada; hereinafter “GOKKO”), which operates the vertical short drama creator group “Gokko Club,” is pleased to announce the full renewal of its recruitment website.
The concept of the new site is “From enjoying entertainment to driving it.” In an era where anyone can create content, we aim to meet individuals who are serious about creating “works that reach people” and want to be on the side that drives entertainment.
To date, GOKKO has produced vertical short dramas that have recorded over 12 billion cumulative views, mainly on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. With a unique production system that handles planning, scripting, filming, editing, posting, and marketing as a single team, GOKKO has developed SNS-originated entertainment.
This renewed recruitment site visualizes GOKKO’s on-site operations, which consistently handle everything from planning to filming, editing, and posting in-house. Through the unveiling of “studio505,” a hub reminiscent of a movie theater, and the journey of challenge of members gathered from various industries, GOKKO is recruiting colleagues who will create the next generation of entertainment together.
“Recruitment Site” here
## Background of the Renewal
With the expansion of the content industry driven by SNS, interest in creative professions has been increasing year by year. On the other hand, the actual production site and working styles are often unclear from the outside, posing a challenge where “it’s hard to imagine what it will be like after joining the company.”
To address this challenge, GOKKO aims to achieve “recruitment by empathy” by increasing information transparency through its recruitment site.
Beyond merely listing job openings, we aim for recruitment without mismatches by conveying the people who work here, the production process, and the organization’s values.
## Main Contents of the Recruitment Site
This site introduces GOKKO’s working style through the following contents:
* **Employee Interviews**
Features the real voices of employees active in various roles, such as assistant directors, actors, sound directors, business producers, and marketing directors.
* **Office Tour**
Showcases the filming studios, including “studio505,” Japan’s first studio specialized in vertical dramas, with videos and photos.
* **Job Category Introduction**
Job openings are organized into four categories: “Creative,” “Produce,” “Corporate,” and “Engineer.” Applications for jobs can be made from the detailed page of each category.
* **Selection Process and FAQ**
Clearly outlines the 5-step process from casual interviews to job offers. Also includes frequently asked questions about applications, selection, and the working environment.

Content is already enough.
Creators, tools to create, and created works are overflowing in this world. This trend has further accelerated due to AI. The value of “being able to create” is over. Amidst this change, there is one thing we at GOKKO believe in.
The value from now on resides not in creating, but in “reaching.”
To remain in someone’s heart, to be spoken of by someone, after it has reached them. That is the only meaning of content from now on. It’s not about whether it went viral. It’s not about the number of views. It’s about whether someone asked someone else, “Have you seen that?” For this one line, we cut scripts, cut direction, cut length, and cut our lives.
That is why GOKKO is designed not as a production company, but as a company that delivers emotions. Scripting, direction, distribution, analysis—everything is directed towards the single point of “creating something that is talked about.”
This challenge cannot be done alone. Creators, performers, deliverers, interpreters—though their roles may differ, we need people who are truly serious about wanting to move someone’s heart with their work. The form of talent does not matter. The type of sensibility does not matter. What matters is not resolve, but determination.
In an era overflowing with content, we still create something that is talked about. We look forward to meeting people who want to bet their lives on our serious "Gokko" (play-acting).
