Number One Solutions

What Number One Solutions does

Number One Solutions (ナンバーワンソリューションズ) is a Tokyo-based private company founded in July 2002 that has pivoted from mobile/PC system development to become a generative AI system development and blockchain solutions provider. Its core product line centers on on-premises AI: Cosnex (an AI Process Intelligence platform launched in June 2026, evolved from Microcosm) applies high-precision RAG and multi-agent AI to enterprise data integration, search, and process automation; i.human provides character-based conversational AI; and SatoriEngine auto-generates company-specific training programs. The blockchain product line comprises tokenbase (STO platform), Coinity (regional currency platform), BC Auth (quantum-resistant authentication), and SYNCHAIN (a 4,000 TPS AI-focused blockchain). All AI products deploy on local LLMs in GGUF format to address data leakage risk, a key differentiator for Japanese enterprises handling confidential information.

The company operates a hybrid revenue model combining custom generative AI and blockchain system development (project-based professional services) with software licensing and subscriptions (Microcosm from ¥50,000/month, Coinity on-premise at ~¥10M initial cost plus ~¥300,000/month). It sells primarily through direct enterprise sales in Japan, supplemented by international subsidiaries in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubai (FZCO) targeting government and financial institution clients in Central Asia, East Africa, and the Middle East. Channel partnerships — LUMENRAI in Korea (April 2026), Metastar in Japan, and IT Introduction Subsidy 2025 certification — extend reach into SMB and adjacent Asian markets. Notable customers include Tokyo Fire Department, Toride City, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, and an unnamed automotive parts manufacturer reporting 50% design efficiency gains. Number One Solutions is led by Representative Director Tetsuo Omorai and Chairman Soji Suzuki (former Mitsui & Co. and Citibank executive), has been self-funded since inception with ¥50 million registered capital, and employs approximately 98 people as of April 2024.
