2SLab Inc.

2SLab Inc. (株式会社ツーエスラボ, also written ツーエスラボ® / 2SLab®) is a Japanese bio-venture company whose name is short for Spyspider Laboratory (スパイスパイダーラボラトリー). The company was founded on 8 August 2020 and formally incorporated on 22 February 2022, with its registered head office in Narashino, Chiba, and its main business base at the Tokyo Institute of Technology / Science Tokyo campus innovation center in Shibaura, Minato, Tokyo. It is led by founder and CEO Yohei Sakamoto and is recognized as a university-originated venture (Tokyo Tech Venture No. 171 and Science Tokyo Venture T171). The company operates at the intersection of genomics and web3. Its commercial product line consists of genetic testing kits for ornamental fish, sold under the 2SLab brand. These include MFJ (sex-determination) kits for arowana, discus and small pleco, and MPA (molecular phylogenetic analysis / genome analysis by next-generation sequencing) kits for arowana, carp, discus, pleco and medaka. The kits let breeders and hobbyists determine the sex of valuable fish and analyze their genomes, supporting selective breeding and the branding of high-value ornamental fish. Beyond kits, 2SLab is developing a decentralized pedigree management system based on a "Genomic Data Ecosystem." The system combines genomic assets with web3 technology to create a "Smart Pedigree" (Crypto Pedigree) that guarantees the authenticity and transparency of transactions in living organisms. It is supported by the PedigreeDAO platform and a base token, Pedigree Token (PDGT), intended to enable fair and sustainable distribution of genomic data and reward sharing. The company states it has obtained patents for the transaction-support system that uses blockchain for genetic information management, and its news feed lists multiple patent registrations and allowances in 2026. 2SLab positions itself as a pioneer of decentralized pedigree management, aiming to standardize and elevate the management of biological resources and to raise the value of genomic data. It pursues industry-academia-government collaboration with universities, research institutes, bio-related companies and web3 developers, and is registered with the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency's growth-acceleration matching service to build partnerships with domestic partners and investors. Its stated mission is to "visualize pedigree with genomic data and increase the value of biological resources."

2SLab Inc. traces its origins to Spyspider Laboratory (スパイスパイダーラボラトリー), a specialist group whose name combines "Spy" (the ability to detect latent information) and "Spider" (a symbol of the wise). The venture was founded on 8 August 2020 and incorporated as 株式会社ツーエスラボ (2SLab Inc.) on 22 February 2022. Its registered head office is in Yatsu, Narashino, Chiba, while its main business base is at the Tokyo Institute of Technology / Science Tokyo Campus Innovation Center in Shibaura, Minato, Tokyo; a research and development base was noted as being prepared. The company was recognized as a university-originated venture: it received the Tokyo Tech Venture No. 171 designation on 31 July 2024 and the Science Tokyo Venture T171 designation on 1 October 2024. It is supported by the Kuramae Venture Consultation Room (KVS), patent firm KX Patent Office, a domestic genetic analysis company, a blockchain R&D partner, a domestic web3 infrastructure operator, and DAO cooperation partner GaiaX Co., Ltd., among other advisors. 2SLab's business is built on a patented transaction-support system that uses blockchain for genetic information management. From this foundation it developed the "Smart Pedigree" (Crypto Pedigree), intended to guarantee the authenticity and transparency of transactions in living organisms, and the decentralized platform PedigreeDAO with its base token Pedigree Token (PDGT) to enable fair and sustainable distribution of genomic data and reward sharing. The company describes this as a Genomic Data Ecosystem based on Genomic Asset × web3, and states it is developing and deploying the system ahead of the world. Commercially, 2SLab sells genetic testing kits for ornamental fish under the 2SLab brand. Its MFJ kits determine the sex of arowana, discus and small pleco by genetic analysis, while its MPA kits perform genome analysis by next-generation sequencing for arowana, carp, discus, pleco, medaka and ranchu. These products serve breeders and hobbyists who need to identify sex and genetic background in valuable ornamental fish, and they support the company's broader goal of branding high-value fish and advancing aquatic research. The company's stated mission is to "visualize pedigree with genomic data and increase the value of biological resources." It pursues industry-academia-government collaboration with universities, research institutes, bio-related companies and web3 developers to promote the social implementation of the Smart Pedigree and to contribute to the sophistication and international standardization of biological resource management. It is registered with the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency's growth-acceleration matching service to strengthen strategic ties with domestic partners and investors. Its fiscal year ends in June, and its stated capital was 6,000,000 yen as of the end of February 2026. In 2026 the company announced several patent registrations and allowances and completed a third-party allotment capital increase.
