In 2002, a new venture called Photo Create was established in Japan by founder Akira Shirasuna. The company's core idea was to build an online platform for selling photos taken at events. This addressed the classic problem of how to conveniently view and purchase pictures from school sports days, marathons, and other local happenings. Starting in 2003, Photo Create launched various specialized photo-selling websites, including 'All Sports Community' for athletic events and later, 'SnapSnap' for school photos. This digital model allowed professional photographers to upload their work and gave participants an easy way to browse and buy memories. The business focused on specific communities, from local marathons to professional baseball teams like the Yomiuri Giants. A major turning point arrived in July 2013 when Photo Create successfully launched an Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers market. This event marked a significant step in the company's growth, providing capital and public validation. The journey continued when, in November 2016, the company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Culture Convenience Club (CCC) and was delisted. This acquisition integrated Photo Create into a larger corporate family, aiming to create new synergies in the lifestyle and content space.
