Two CCCMK Holdings Employees Selected for Databricks Japan's Community Contribution Recognition Program "JEDAI Order 2026"

CCCMK Holdings Co., Ltd. (Head office: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director, President and CEO: Takanori Takahashi; hereinafter "CCCMKHD") is pleased to announce that two of its employees have been selected for the first time in Databricks Japan's community contribution recognition program "JEDAI Order 2026". Ryoichi Miura (Chief AI Engineer, Technology Strategy Division) was selected for the highest rank of "Master", and Taro Matsui (General Manager, Technology Strategy Division) was selected for "Padawan".

CCCMK Holdings has adopted Databricks for its V-point data science and AI platform and has been promoting the advanced utilization of data. We believe this award recognizes the continuous and multifaceted contributions of both individuals to the Databricks community "JEDAI (Japan Enduser Group Databricks Innovation)," including writing blog posts and speaking at study groups.

【What is JEDAI Order?】

The JEDAI Order (JEDAI Certification Program) is a unique Japanese program that evaluates and recognizes contributions to the Databricks Japan user community. Certification is granted in the following four ranks depending on the level of contribution. The selection period for this year covered activities in 2025. In the 2026 fiscal year, 26 individuals were selected nationwide, with only 3 of them being certified as the highest rank, Master.

・Master: Those who have made the most outstanding contributions (highest rank)

・Knight: Those recognized for continuous and high-quality contributions

・Padawan: Those recognized for a certain level of contribution

・Initiate: Those who have started contributing to the community

In particular, throughout 2025, Miura contributed to raising the technical level of the community through continuous writing of Databricks-related articles for CCCMKHD's "Tech Blog" (https://techblog.cccmkhd.co.jp/) and sharing practical knowledge at user group events. In the selection process, where JEDAI's management evaluates "quality, not quantity," he received the highest evaluation for both blog posts and presentations, leading to his Master certification.

■ Comment from Ryoichi Miura (Chief AI Engineer, Technology Strategy Division, CCCMK Holdings Co., Ltd.)

I am deeply honored to receive the title of Master for the first time. In 2025, I focused my efforts on writing Databricks-related articles for the CCCMKHD Tech Blog and sharing practical case studies at user group events. Databricks evolves rapidly, and I never run out of topics to write about. I will continue to contribute to the community with high-quality output.

■ Comment from Taro Matsui (General Manager, Technology Strategy Division, CCCMK Holdings Co., Ltd.)

I am very pleased to have been selected as a Padawan. Since introducing Databricks, I have continued to share practical knowledge gained through my work with the community via blog posts and presentations. I see this selection as a milestone, and I intend to contribute more deeply and broadly to the development of the community in the future.
