Pacific Meta Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shota Iwasaki; hereinafter "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has acquired all outstanding shares of Kenpal Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kan Iida; hereinafter "Kenpal"), a company engaged in the SES and contract development business, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Background and Purpose of the Subsidiary Acquisition
The Company has supported over 260 projects in the blockchain field across the group.
In January 2026, we welcomed Kirifuda Inc. to our group to strengthen our planning and development capabilities in the blockchain field. However, as the scale of client projects expanded, the need to expand development resources and strengthen the delivery system increased.
Kenpal is a group of engineers with a proven track record in system development and SES business for large enterprises and government agencies. With a development team of 20 members, including bilingual engineers capable of global support, they also have the ability to handle overseas projects. This acquisition will significantly strengthen the development capabilities of our group, enabling us to support the blockchain businesses of client companies with a more robust system, from consulting to development, operation, and maintenance.
Furthermore, we believe that the ISMS (ISO/IEC 27001:2022) certification and unified qualification for all ministries and agencies held by Kenpal will greatly contribute to enhancing the reliability and governance system of our group.
Future Outlook
Through this transaction, our group will significantly expand the engineering system of the entire group and further accelerate the social implementation of blockchain business, centering on the finance and blockchain domains. In addition, we plan to maximize growth as a group by pursuing synergy creation while maintaining the independence of Kenpal's management.
Furthermore, building on the development foundation strengthened by this M&A, we will promote new growth strategies in the AI x Blockchain domain. Details will be announced at a later date.
Comment from Shota Iwasaki, CEO of Pacific Meta Inc.
To accelerate the social implementation of blockchain, we need not only the ability to draw up strategies but also the development capabilities to reliably shape them. Kenpal is a team with solid technical capabilities cultivated in the field of system development and the delivery power to complete large-scale projects.
Above all, I fell in love with President Iida's all-encompassing tolerance and manliness, and decided to work together. They have already interacted with our members, and many have become fans of President Iida's integrity-filled personality, and I am confident that he will become a major pillar supporting our organization.
Following Kirifuda, by welcoming Kenpal as a partner, the group's development system has become even thicker. Armed with this system, we will create new value.
Comment from Kan Iida, CEO of Kenpal Inc.
Through joining the Pacific Meta Group, I look forward to demonstrating the technical and delivery capabilities that Kenpal has built up over the years in the new field of blockchain. By bringing together the collective strength of the group, we will contribute to the business growth of our client companies.
