Recent disclosed amounts in Japan’s “Other” category cluster tightly at the $1M–$13M level, with one clear outlier: DubGuild’s $13M Seed round on 2026-06-05 sits well above the next-largest disclosed amounts ($3M for Osaka Prefectural Housing Supply Corporation on 2026-04-13, $1M for CFOne on 2026-06-19 and NUVVE Japan on 2026-05-07). Most entries also concentrate in Tokyo: 6 of the 10 rows are based in Tokyo (e.g., CFOne on 2026-06-19, Flat Collaboration on 2026-06-11, Aureon Space Systems on 2026-06-01), alongside two more in Osaka/Osaka and one each in Kanagawa, Ibaraki, and Osaka city-listed Ibaraki/Osaka naming.
Temporally, the list spans from 2020-02-14 (Repro, $27M) to 2026-06-30 (SolaNika, undisclosed). Within the 2026 window, several rounds fall within a narrow June stretch (2026-06-01 through 2026-06-30 includes 5 entries), while older representation drops off after the 2020 row. Stage classification is also skewed: “undisclosed” amounts appear in 3 of 10 rows, and “Series Unknown” appears in 2 of 10 rows.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this “Other” Japan slice, and how far above the rest is it?
DubGuild’s $13M Seed round (2026-06-05) is the largest disclosed amount in the rows shown. The next-largest disclosed amounts are $3M (Osaka Prefectural Housing Supply Corporation, 2026-04-13) and $1M (CFOne on 2026-06-19; NUVVE Japan on 2026-05-07), making the $13M figure materially larger than the rest.
Do the most recent rounds cluster in a narrow time window?
Yes. Five of the 10 rows fall in June 2026 (2026-06-01 to 2026-06-30), including Aureon Space Systems (2026-06-01, undisclosed), DubGuild (2026-06-05, $13M), Flat Collaboration (2026-06-11, undisclosed), CFOne (2026-06-19, $1M), and SolaNika (2026-06-30, undisclosed).
Are any cities over-represented across these 10 entries?
Tokyo dominates: 6 of 10 rows list Tokyo locations (e.g., CFOne on 2026-06-19, Flat Collaboration on 2026-06-11, Aureon Space Systems on 2026-06-01, NUVVE Japan on 2026-05-07). Outside Tokyo, Osaka appears once with Osaka-based corporate naming (2026-04-13), and other geographies are singletons (e.g., SolaNika in Shibuya, Kanagawa on 2026-06-30; SIGQ in Ibaraki/Osaka naming on 2026-04-10; Repro in Tokyo on 2020-02-14).
How often are amounts undisclosed or stage labels unclear?
Undisclosed amounts show up in 3 of 10 rows: SolaNika (2026-06-30), Flat Collaboration (2026-06-11), and Aureon Space Systems (2026-06-01). “Series Unknown” appears in 2 of 10 rows: Flat Collaboration (2026-06-11) and NUVVE Japan (2026-05-07), with remaining entries distributed across Seed, Angel, Series A, or a blank stage field (Repro on 2020-02-14).
Is there an outlier in time or disclosed size besides the recent $13M round?
Repro (2020-02-14) is an outlier both in age and disclosed amount, with a $27M figure that exceeds all other disclosed rounds in the displayed rows (the next-highest being $13M on 2026-06-05). This makes the list’s disclosed-size spread span from $190K (SIGQ on 2026-04-10) up to $27M in 2020.
