What KT does

株式会社KT (KT INC.) is a Japanese private corporation founded on March 23, 2015, headquartered in Yokohama with an additional office in Tokyo (Shibuya). The company operates the "Mina-Toku" (みな-トク) platform, which provides content and IT tools purpose-built for the real estate industry. Core offerings include CG/Video Editing for high-quality exterior and interior renders and CG walkthroughs, Premium Photo professional DSLR photography services, Panorama Photography, 3D Walkthrough scanning with QR-code/URL remote viewing, and the Mina-Toku Metaverse/XR platform combining CG-photo synthesis, AR property overlay during site visits, and interactive 3D walkthroughs with one-click color changes and measurement capabilities. Two forthcoming products extend the platform: Mina Design AI (2026), an AI-powered virtual staging service, and Mina Talk (spring 2026), an electronic contract platform with thread functionality.

The company serves three primary customer segments in Japan: real estate sales companies (new-build homes, new condominiums, renovated properties, and land development), real estate brokerage firms, and house manufacturers offering custom homes. KT addresses the industry-wide problem that traditional floor plans and drawings fail to convey property charm and spatial imagery, providing compelling visual content for early-stage buyer engagement and follow-up tools to maintain buyer interest through closing. Go-to-market is direct B2B service provision, with distribution supported by partnerships with at least seven major Japanese financial institutions including Kawasaki Shinkin, Yokohama Shinkin, Shonan Shinkin, SBJ Bank, Mizuho Bank, SMBC, and Resona Bank.

KT's business model is primarily project-based service delivery (CG rendering, photography, 3D scanning) supplemented by an evolving productized layer (Mina Design AI, Mina Talk). The company employs 51-100 people, holds registered capital of 50 million yen, and operates solely within the Kanto Region of Japan with no disclosed international footprint. Leadership rests with Representative Director Hideaki Matsuyama (松山 英明), who also serves as Personal Information Protection Manager. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors are disclosed in the source data.
