BOSSES

What BOSSES does

BOSSES (株式会社BOSSES) is a privately held, founder-led Japanese company established on 1 August 2019 by Representative Director Jun Nomichi, with registered capital of 3 million yen and a reported 20-person headcount that includes contractors. The company operates four service divisions — DEVELOPMENT, CONSULTING, PLATFORM, and ENTERTAINMENT — and is headquartered in Hamamatsucho, Minato-ku, Tokyo. Its primary customer base is large Japanese enterprises, including a major game company, a major telecommunications firm, a major consulting firm, a major power company, a major service company, and university-affiliated startups. The CEO's background spanning regional banking and a foreign financial institution is positioned as a differentiator for new business development consulting engagements.

The DEVELOPMENT division delivers bespoke project work across website production (corporate sites, landing pages), iOS and Android smartphone apps (including matching, gaming, and blockchain-enabled apps), custom web systems, and blockchain applications such as crypto asset exchanges and NFT platforms. The CONSULTING division provides sales support, organizational setup, web consulting (ads, SEO, video), and new business development support to large enterprises. The PLATFORM division operates proprietary assets including a blockchain-based NFT platform and KIFU-KASTU, a student-focused crowdfunding platform listed as under development. The ENTERTAINMENT division (branded HINA) recruits female junior-high-to-high-school talent for music and dance activities, with dedicated YouTube, Instagram, X, and TikTok channels. The company holds a Telecommunications Business registration (notification A-02-17876) and sponsors two charitable organizations, the Baseball Legend Foundation NPO and the Japan Deaf Baseball Association.

BOSSES generates revenue through bespoke, quote-based professional services engagements and one-time development projects for enterprise clients, with no public pricing, self-serve channels, or productized offerings. Go-to-market is entirely direct, field-sales driven with no resellers or marketplace presence. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no reported revenue, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. The combination of very low registered capital, a small contractor-inclusive team, a multi-division service-plus-platform-plus-entertainment structure, and reliance on a small set of large enterprise projects points to an early-stage, project-based consulting and development shop.
