Nahato Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yuki Adachi; hereinafter "Nahato") is pleased to announce that Genya Taguchi, who has served as an Outside Director, will assume the position of Board Director effective April 1, 2026.
Coinciding with this appointment, Nahato is launching the company-wide AI strategy, "ALL-IN AI PROJECT." Mr. Taguchi will oversee the three domains of HR strategy, PR, and IT, accelerating not just business efficiency through AI, but also the "creation of new businesses" and the "production of next-generation CXO talent."
Background of the Appointment and Future Outlook
Nahato has set "Raising the bottom line of Japan's marketing capabilities" as its mission and "Next-Generation Marketing Company" as its vision. It has laid out a long-term vision to achieve 200 billion yen in sales, 3,000 employees, 50 subsidiaries, and 200 CXO talents by 2040. To realize this, the company has simultaneously driven the launch of diversified new businesses—expanding beyond SNS marketing and advertising into D2C operations, business administration, and M&A—alongside organizational reforms.
To address the rapidly expanding business and diversifying management challenges, and to solidify this long-term vision, Nahato is bringing in Mr. Taguchi, who previously participated in management as an Outside Director, as an executive Board Director with operational responsibilities.
Under this new structure, Nahato will push forward with an upgrade to its "structure," centered on the company-wide AI strategy, "ALL-IN AI PROJECT."
The purpose of this project is not merely operational efficiency. By compressing existing tasks at overwhelming speeds using AI, the management resources of "time, people, and money" created will be boldly reallocated to creating new businesses and nurturing next-generation leaders. Based on the conviction that "it is always human will that creates business," the supplementation of abilities will be entrusted to AI, while building an environment where people can fully devote themselves to uniquely human values such as "passion, empathy, and sensitivity."
By fusing Mr. Taguchi's deep knowledge of HR and organizational building with the latest IT strategies, Nahato aims to unleash the "inherent potential of people" through technology and strive towards an organization that continuously evolves.
Comment from Board Director Genya Taguchi
"I am extremely pleased to further participate in Nahato as a Board Director.
I have consistently focused on how to draw out the potential of people and organizations. Now, with the evolution of AI, an era has arrived where we can significantly upgrade the way we work and the very nature of organizations.
However, what Nahato aims for is not to become an 'AI company.'
We want to use AI to change our structure, reduce waste and inefficiency, and reallocate the time, people, and resources generated there into challenges, creations, and new business developments that only humans can do. I believe the essence of management in this era lies precisely there.
Ultimately, it is people who create businesses.
Human passion, will, empathy, sensitivity, and the power to involve others. Such 'human values' should become the core of our competitive strength moving forward. That is exactly why I want to build an organization where AI and people do not conflict but fuse together, maximizing human enthusiasm and potential.
Toward Nahato's long-term vision for 2040, I will cross the domains of HR, PR, and IT to cultivate a soil where next-generation CXO talents are born one after another, evolving Nahato into a company where challenges create a chain reaction."
