SKIYAKI Inc.

SKIYAKI Inc. is a Japanese technology company specializing in internet services for fan engagement, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo. It is best known for developing and operating "Bitfan," an all-in-one fan platform, and "Bitfan Pro," a customizable enterprise version. The company builds and runs subscription-based fan club sites, e-commerce stores for merchandise, and the digital ticket app "BitfanPASS." Its clients include musical artists such as the folk duo Yuzu and anime properties like "Sailor Moon Crystal." Founded in August 2003 with capital of 3 million yen, the company changed its name to SKIYAKI Inc. in February 2012 and launched its FanTech business. It listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers market on October 26, 2017, under securities code 3995. In February 2018 it released "Bitfan," a platform designed to visualize fan enthusiasm, and in September 2018 renamed its enterprise CMS to "Bitfan Pro." The platform underwent a full renewal in April 2020 and won the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Award at the Japan Service Awards in October 2020. In December 2020, Takuya Miyase stepped down as representative director and Tomohiro Kokubo assumed the role. By December 2021, the total number of paid members across the fan platform exceeded 1 million. On April 1, 2024, SKIYAKI integrated management with Space Shower Network Inc. (which changed its name to Space Shower SKIYAKI Holdings Inc. the same day), becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the holding company. Prior to that, it was delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market on March 28, 2024. SKIYAKI belongs to the corporate group of Culture Convenience Club Co., Ltd. (CCC) and has three consolidated subsidiaries (Rock Garage Inc., SEA Global Inc., and Entermedia FC Inc.) and three equity-method affiliates (3DAY Inc., shabell Inc., and SKIYAKI LIVE PRODUCTION Inc.). The company's name derives from "Skiyaki," the overseas title of the Japanese song "Ue o Muite Arukou" (Sukiyaki) by Kyu Sakamoto, which is the only Japanese song to have reached number one on the US Billboard singles chart. The name reflects the company's aspiration to create businesses from a global perspective, rooted in Japanese music culture. SKIYAKI continues to expand its fan platform services, recently launching the embedded finance service "Bitfan Card" in collaboration with Nudge, and providing services to companies such as Infinia, which has 880,000 annual visitors. It regularly opens official fan clubs for actors, musicians, and idol groups through Bitfan.
