Among the 9 most recent Nagoya-area funding entries, the only disclosed round at $10M is Kimitona (Artificial Intelligence), dated 2025-11-27; the next-largest disclosed amounts are $6M for Acompany (2026-04-14) and $3M for Opt Fit (2025-11-16), making the $10M deal the clear outlier above the rest of the disclosed figures. Disclosed amounts are sparse: 5 of 9 rows are marked undisclosed/unknown, and only four list amounts ($200K, $3M, $6M, $10M).
Date coverage is tightly clustered at the top of the list: 4 of 9 rounds fall in June 2026 (from 2026-06-29 through 2026-06-08), while the remaining 5 are in late 2025 and earlier 2026 (from 2025-11-27 back to 2026-04-14). Sector patterns tilt toward AI, appearing in 3 entries (Sazo on 2026-06-25, Kimitona on 2025-11-27, Opt Fit on 2025-11-16) within a city-limited geography (Nagoya, Aichi, Japan) despite one row explicitly using “Nagoya, Japan.”

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the largest among these Nagoya entries, and how does it compare with the other disclosed amounts?
Kimitona’s $10M Seed round (2025-11-27) is the largest disclosed amount, sitting above the next-largest disclosed figures of $6M (Acompany, 2026-04-14) and $3M (Opt Fit, 2025-11-16). The remaining disclosed amount is $200K for NAGARA (2026-05-25), which is far below the cluster around $3M–$6M.
How concentrated are the most recent rounds in time within the 9-row window?
June 2026 is the densest pocket: 4 of 9 rounds (AZAPA 2026-06-29, Sazo 2026-06-25, Aracan 2026-06-11, Sora Materials 2026-06-08) land between 2026-06-29 and 2026-06-08. The rest spans 2026-04-21 (Prodrone) to 2025-11-16 (Opt Fit), with 3 entries in November 2025 (Kimitona 2025-11-27, Opt Fit 2025-11-16, and no earlier dated rows shown).
Are disclosures (amounts) a minority here, and does that affect how easy it is to compare rounds?
Yes—5 of 9 rows are undisclosed (AZAPA 2026-06-29, Sazo 2026-06-25, Aracan 2026-06-11, Sora Materials 2026-06-08, Prodrone 2026-04-21). Only 4 rows show amounts ($200K on 2026-05-25, $6M on 2026-04-14, $10M on 2025-11-27, $3M on 2025-11-16), so most comparisons rely on stage/date rather than dollar size.
Do any sectors appear more frequently than others in these Nagoya entries?
Artificial Intelligence shows up in 3 of 9 entries: Sazo (AI, Seed, 2026-06-25, undisclosed), Kimitona (AI, Seed, 2025-11-27, $10M), and Opt Fit (Fitness/Wellness/AI, Series B, 2025-11-16, $3M). Other sectors are represented once each in the visible rows (e.g., Design at AZAPA, Administrative Services at Aracan, Data and Analytics at Sora Materials).
Is there an obvious outlier in stage disclosure or stage type among the disclosed rounds?
Among disclosed amounts, two Seed rounds bookend the upper end of disclosed dollars: Kimitona is $10M Seed (2025-11-27), while NAGARA is $200K with a “Series Unknown” label (2026-05-25). The $6M disclosed round (Acompany, 2026-04-14) is also “Series Unknown,” whereas Opt Fit is a disclosed $3M Series B (2025-11-16), making Series information less consistent than the disclosed-dollar spread.
Within this list, are all entries geographically consistent, or do naming differences suggest a specific pattern?
Geography is overwhelmingly consistent as “Nagoya, Aichi, Japan” across 8 of the 9 rows; the one exception is Kimitona listed as “Nagoya, Japan” (dated 2025-11-27) with the only $10M disclosed amount. That makes the city-level pattern stable while still showing minor address-format variation.
