What x3d does

x3d株式会社 (Cross Third) is a Tokyo-based AI consulting and training firm incorporated on January 6, 2023, building on founder Konosuke Takeishi's enterprise AI consulting practice that began in 2017. The company serves large enterprises and government clients in Japan across all 68 JSIC industry classifications, with named customers including Toyota Group, Panasonic, Kokuyo, Ono Pharmaceutical, Ikeda Senshu Bank, Satsudora Holdings, and Akatsuki. Its core technology offering centers on AI Agent and MCP (Model Context Protocol) development, combined with a Human-Centered AI (HCAI) philosophy that pairs AI IQ functions with human EQ functions. The company maintains an industry-specific AI agent use-case database covering 568 cases across 68 industries, compiled from cumulative engagement experience supporting 1,500+ companies and 5,000+ trainees since 2017.

x3d operates four interlocking service lines: AIDX training (HAI BOOT CAMP™ and related curricula for AI literacy at executive, managerial, and individual-contributor levels), AI-era engineer/PM development training (LLM, RAG, agents, MLOps), AI introduction and business process re-engineering consulting, and custom AI system/agent development including MCP server integration. Supporting the delivery model is the x3d Certified AI Instructor Network, which provides nationwide standardized training delivery across 20+ programs and 6+ industries. Proprietary methodologies include the x3d 4-2-4 Theory, AI-XXX Retention Theory, LLM Five-Stage Utilization, Generative AI Management Drill™ and Game®, all under pending trademark applications. A 99% training participant satisfaction rate (2024 surveys) is reported.

The business model is enterprise professional services with quote-based pricing; revenue is generated from per-program training fees, project-based consulting engagements, custom AI development projects, and instructor-network deployment fees. The company is privately held and founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional investors, paid-in capital of ¥35 million at incorporation, and operates from a single Tokyo headquarters in Minato-ku. Go-to-market relies on consultative direct enterprise sales, free nationwide seminars as lead-generation entry points, an SEO-driven use-case database for top-of-funnel, and thought-leadership whitepapers; the founder maintains active personal profiles on note, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn.
