Hi everyone,
We are proud to announce the launch of Kokoro Research, a new kind of research institution.
More than just a company, we are a hybrid of philosophy and implementation — leveraging capitalism while looking beyond it, toward the future of humanity.
In this era of accelerating AI, we confront the fundamental question: What does it mean to be human?
Through business, we secure sustainability. Through research, we pursue deep understanding.
Together, these pillars will support a long-lasting future for humankind.
Kokoro Research is designed for permanence.
Only through time can we uncover deeper human truths, prove meaningful theories, and build lasting trust.
We are not here for short-term success. We aim to become something indispensable for the future.
This is just the beginning.
Through documentation and questioning, we aim to lay the foundations for the future of AI, future philosophy, and future society.
Our Team
Kokoro Research was founded by Ryuzo Kijima, a 17-year-old high school dropout who has conducted research in psychology and AI at institutions such as the University of Tokyo.
He believes that “the human inner world is the deepest source of our future” — and launched Kokoro Research to honor that conviction.
