KOSHIN

What KOSHIN does

KOSHIN is a small Japanese IT services firm (有限会社, yugen kaisha) founded on April 3, 1996, and headquartered at Yayoicho Nakabara 57-1, Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture. The company develops bespoke business software primarily on the FileMaker Pro platform (cross-platform Windows/Mac) using CGI programming and web-based database systems, and offers an integrated suite of web design, hosting, domain registration, and maintenance services. Its software portfolio spans 17+ purpose-built systems across verticals including sushi delivery, seafood wholesale (with JCA-standard data exchange), physician diagnostic certificate support, health-check data management, civil engineering and construction estimation, parking lot operations (500K-record search), warehouse shipping with barcode verification, mail-order CTI, kindergarten scheduling, shift/attendance, and PLC sequencer communication.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and inquiry-driven, with the company website (koshin-inc.com) functioning as the principal storefront and a free-consultation contact form as the primary lead-capture mechanism; pricing is quote-based per project. Revenue is generated through one-time custom software development fees, professional services for web design/hosting/maintenance, ancillary data entry work, and hardware sales/support. Customer logos disclosed on the site are predominantly small and mid-sized Japanese businesses across diverse sectors — manufacturing, real estate, healthcare, retail, floriculture, fitness, and entertainment — concentrated in the Aichi and Chubu regions.

Ownership is private with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, funding rounds, or external capital; the company is led by Representative Director Akihiro Yamada (山田 晃弘) and operates with registered capital of ¥3,000,000 (approximately $20K USD). The business has operated continuously for 28+ years without evidence of acquisitions, partnerships, patents, awards, app distribution, or external scale indicators, indicating a stable founder-operated regional services firm rather than a venture-backed growth entity.
