Featured in the Chunichi Shimbun — "Itsuka Senri wo: Gifu no Koumatachi" Series

The September 27, 2026 (Sunday) edition of the Chunichi Shimbun featured our CEO Kaito Okumura and our school digital signage platform "KimiTeras (キミテラス)" in its series "いつか千里を ぎふの子馬たち" (Itsuka Senri wo: Gifu no Koumatachi), which profiles young challengers from Gifu.

Coverage Overview

  • Newspaper: Chunichi Shimbun (September 27, 2026)
  • Series: いつか千里を ぎふの子馬たち
  • Headline: 「企業情報 スッと目に」

Alongside a photo taken in a classroom at Ginan Technical High School, the article covers:

  • How KimiTeras shows class notices — schedules, assignments and announcements — side by side with information from local companies on classroom monitors
  • A model funded by corporate advertising, so schools bear no cost for the devices
  • Our journey from winning the top prize at DigiTech Quest, to founding the company in January 2026, starting operation at Ginan Technical High School in April, and installing at Gifu Technical High School
  • Our plans to expand to technical high schools across Gifu Prefecture, and eventually nationwide

The article is also available on Chunichi Web (partly members-only, in Japanese).

Thank You

We sincerely thank the teachers at Ginan Technical High School for their cooperation, and the Chunichi Shimbun staff who interviewed us and wrote the article.

We will continue building places inside the classroom where students and local companies can naturally meet.
