Mahoroba Soken Inc. (CEO: Kazuki Komori, Location: 3-1 Hashimotocho, Nara City, Nara Prefecture) announced that it has changed its company name and organizational structure from Bit Blend LLC, effective April 6, 2026.
Building on its track record of supporting over 200 companies and 1,000 individuals with Generative AI training and implementation consulting, the company will fully launch business automation support and data utilization projects in the water infrastructure sector.
■ Business Overview of Mahoroba Soken
Founded in February 2025 by CEO Kazuki Komori, a former Microsoft engineer, Mahoroba Soken has focused primarily on Generative AI training and implementation consulting for enterprises. The company has a proven track record of supporting over 200 companies and 1,000 individuals, mainly large corporations and local governments.
The company's strength lies in carefully interviewing each client about their business workflows, organizing the priorities of tasks to be automated, and providing continuous support through to specific tool selection and implementation.
For companies struggling with "knowing how to use AI tools but not knowing how to apply them to their own operations," they co-design the critical first step tailored to the reality of the workplace.
■ Background of the Name Change
The former name "Bit Blend" was in English, which often led to mispronunciations and spelling errors, occasionally causing miscommunication with clients and partners.
The new name "Mahoroba Soken" is derived from the ancient Nara word "Mahoroba" (meaning a wonderful place), expressing the philosophy of creating a comfortable society for everyone involved through the power of data, starting from Nara.
Additionally, the organizational change from a limited liability company (LLC) to a stock corporation (Inc.) aims to prepare for future fundraising alongside business expansion and to build a stronger organizational foundation.
■ Future Business Development
Taking the name change as an opportunity, Mahoroba Soken will strengthen its marketing system and sales organization, aiming for a threefold increase in revenue. In addition, the company will actively engage in the field of physical AI (technology that utilizes data from the physical world with AI) and proceed to cultivate partners for proof-of-concept experiments aimed at solving social issues, such as leak prevention in water infrastructure.
■ Comment from Kazuki Komori, CEO of Mahoroba Soken Inc.
"In supporting over 200 companies with AI utilization so far, the most common feedback I've heard is, 'Although we know how to use AI tools to some extent, we cannot imagine how to use them to fit our actual business scenes.' It's not just about tool knowledge, but also business data assets."
