Continuing to grow through next-generation storytelling and entertainment development.
The Spirit of Our Foundation: Art & Business
Upon founding this company, we decided that our core values would be “art & business.” Our aim was to create a structure through which we could produce moving dramas, and in doing so create one hit after another. In order to do that, we had to consider how best to capture people’s hearts, and so we felt that at its essence, our creations should be about “the Drama of Love and Battle.” That philosophy has led us to become the creators we are today, and to be able to offer the world so many original mobile-based stories.
Studying movie-making in the US during my twenties led me to the founding of this company; I wanted to take on the world through films I’d created. I dreamed of becoming a Hollywood director, and after struggling for three and a half years following graduation to make it as a professional director, I returned, discouraged, to Japan. However, my passion for art & business never cooled, and in 1999, I leapt headfirst into the emerging world of mobile content. Why? Because I sensed it was a completely new realm in terms of business and creative production. The combination of movie-making knowhow and releasing story content quickly, plus the pursuit of high-quality storytelling, is what I believe has led to the success of the business.
Continuing to Take on the Challenge of Storytelling Along with the Next Generation
Since the company’s inception, the scope of the entertainment market has steadily expanded, never stopping for even a second. As a result, we’re constantly evolving our story content in order to bring as much enjoyment as possible to the daily lives of all of our users. How we do this doesn’t just stop at smartphone apps, either – we’re continually diving into new territory such as in-person events, stage plays, music, movies, and in the past few years digital comics and console games.
As long as the world of entertainment continues to develop, the challenge of keeping pace remains constant. The next-generation leaders, who will shape our future in the next decade or two, have already demonstrated their ability to produce solid, reliable results over the past few years, and I hope that our youngest members will always approach their work with a spirit of personal growth and responsibility. I aspire to continue to invigorate the lives of people all over the world through our stories, all the while balancing the challenges of business development with the joy of innovation. I want this company to take on those challenges with determination, to learn from its mistakes, and in doing so continue to grow.
Moving People the World Over Through “The Drama of Love and Battle”
Voltage Inc. is facing an era of new challenges. We will push storytelling to the limits of possibility, to the very edge of expression, and via new ways to play, continue to provide excitement and inspiration to the world.
