Eliminate Deficits from All Companies: Black-Ink Conversion Specialist Consulting Firm "Red To Black" Launched

Red To Black Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Directors & CEOs: Taichi Sato / Yudai Nishi, hereinafter referred to as "Red To Black"), whose slogan is to eliminate deficits from all companies, will commence operations in April 2026. With the mission of "eradicating corporate bankruptcies from this world," the company will offer a new corporate revitalization model combining consulting and proprietary AI.

It is said that 65% of Japanese companies report deficit financials. Many companies falling into deficit face structural challenges where they cannot accurately grasp their own strengths. More than 40,000 business suspensions, closures, and bankruptcies occur annually due to factors such as worsening cash flow, person-dependent management, and organizational collapse. Many companies find themselves in a situation where they "know what measures to take but lack the system to execute them." Red to Black utilizes AI to provide revitalization support that achieves both immediate effectiveness and sustainability, guiding deficit-ridden companies toward profitability.

■ Service Features: Corporate Revitalization by Experts × AI

Red to Black combines "revitalization consulting," where corporate revitalization professionals work alongside clients, with an "AI agent" that has fully systematized corporate revitalization know-how. A key characteristic is its commitment to immediate effectiveness, including same-day implementation.

● Professionals "Collaborate" rather than "Accompany"

A team composed solely of experienced revitalization professionals will work hand-in-hand to shape critical processes in management, business, and organization, thereby resolving the issue of "knowing what to do but not being able to move forward."

● AI Amplifies Revitalization Know-how

AI functions as a tool to expand the perspective of experts in areas such as business data analysis, KPI design, and the formulation of management reform proposals. It's a structure where experts make decisions, and AI provides support where people take action.

Unlike general-purpose AI, this is a "business revitalization-specific AI" that concentrates its resources solely on "turning deficit-ridden companies into profitable ones." By linking proprietary data systematizing corporate revitalization know-how to the AI, and based on patterns often faced by deficit companies such as "worsening cash flow," "distorted profit structures," "person-dependent management," and "organizational collapse," the aim is to design, together with managers and revitalization consultants, where to start, by when and to what level to recover, and what "concrete actions to take starting today."

● "Same-Day Implementation" that Sets Us Apart from Existing Consulting Firms

From the initial kickoff, we commence short-term measures (price revision proposals, cash flow stabilization plans, resolution of organizational bottlenecks) to maximize the speed of improvement. You can immediately feel the effects.

■ Member Introduction

All members are professionals with on-site experience in corporate revitalization.

The fields of strategy, business, organization, and human resources are handled by Taichi Sato, Representative Director, President, and CEO of Bazukuri Inc.

The finance sector is overseen by Daisuke Chiba, Senior Executive Officer and CFO of Uzabase, Inc., and Jun Narimatsu, the first CFO of Cookpad Inc. and an executive at numerous startups. With a track record spanning IPOs, M&A, and international finance, they support business transformation that connects "people, organization, and capital."

The public relations field is supervised by Yudai Nishi, Representative Director of Yudai Nishi Office Inc. With strengths in strategic PR design and brand communication, he has supported revitalization through public relations for a wide range of companies, from startups to major corporations. He assists companies in critical situations with optimal communication strategies for revitalization.

We have also welcomed Mr. Jun Narimatsu as a fellow. After being seconded from Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu to the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Mr. Narimatsu joined Cookpad Inc. in its early days.
