What concent-inc does

Concent Inc. is a Japanese design agency founded in September 2004 and headquartered in Osaka, with a regional office in Tokyo. The firm delivers graphic design, package design, illustration, website production, and CMS / web system construction services, operating across both physical-product packaging and digital/web implementation work. Project delivery is supported by a network of external collaborators — illustrators, photographers, copywriters, and engineers — which allows Concent to scale capacity beyond its in-house headcount while maintaining a single point of client accountability under Representative Director 天野 常穏 (Amano Tsunenori).

The client base spans consumer electronics peripherals (ELECOM, Logitec), FMCG (Rokko Butter / Q.B.B.), healthcare (Hamori Dermatology), professional sports (Urawa Red Diamonds), media (Kyo Kanshin El Magazine), public sector (Osaka Prefectural/Municipal Hospitals), cultural institutions (Oyama City Kurumaya Museum of Art), and retail/distribution (DEFF Corporation). The agency is a member of JAGDA and the Japan Typography Association, situating it within Japan's formal design professional community. The business model is project-based professional services revenue, generated through direct client engagement, referrals, and the public portfolio website; no external funding rounds, partnerships, or M&A activity are disclosed.

Geographically Concent covers Japan's two principal commercial corridors — Kansai via Osaka and Kanto via Tokyo. With 101-250 employees and no disclosed financials, the firm operates as a mid-sized, founder-led agency whose primary assets are its portfolio, its external collaborator network, and its multi-vertical client relationships rather than any disclosed technology platform or proprietary IP.
