SKIYAKI Corp.

SKIYAKI Corp. operates as a technology service provider in the "FanTech" or "Fan x Technology" market, focusing on building and strengthening the relationship between creators and their fans. Established in August 2003, the company officially adopted the SKIYAKI name and began its FanTech business in February 2012. The name is a nod to the globally recognized Japanese song "Sukiyaki" by Kyu Sakamoto, reflecting the company's ambition to create globally recognized services originating from Japan. SKIYAKI achieved a significant milestone with its listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers market in October 2017. As of April 2024, it operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Space Shower SKIYAKI Holdings Inc. following a business integration.

The company's core business revolves around its all-in-one fan platform, "Bitfan," which serves a diverse client base of artists, musicians, actors, and other creators. Notable clients include Golden Bomber, MAN WITH A MISSION, and the Japan Sumo Association. The Bitfan platform allows creators to establish official websites, fan clubs, and e-commerce stores for merchandise. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools for fan engagement, including content posting, live streaming, electronic ticket sales, and group chats. A key feature of Bitfan is its ability to visualize fan engagement or "heat level," which helps creators understand and reward their most dedicated supporters. This integrated model provides multiple revenue streams for creators while offering fans exclusive content and experiences.

SKIYAKI generates revenue through services provided to its creator clients. For fans, this often involves monthly subscription fees for club access, with payment options including carrier billing and credit cards. The company also facilitates merchandise sales through its SKIYAKI STORE and manages electronic ticketing for events. The platform is designed to be a one-stop solution, covering everything from website creation and data analysis to goods production and event support. To cater to different needs, SKIYAKI offers the easily accessible "Bitfan" for individual creators and the customizable "Bitfan Pro" for enterprise-level clients. With over one million paying members across its platforms as of December 2021, SKIYAKI has established a substantial presence in the Japanese fan club market.
