Creating and Connecting Our imagination knows no bounds and we believe in everyone's creative abilities. In Japanese, we describe ourselves as an "omoshiro" company. It is hard to translate but it kind of means playful, fun and interesting. What we really want is to create things that are fun for people to use. And that's why we hire free-spirited and light-hearted people who won't lose their playful creativity at work. KAYAC is what an IT and web company looks like when it is given the freedom to play. Our name is based on the initials of our three directors: KAihata, YAnagisawa, and C(k)uba. And it fits us because a kayak is a nimble and fun little boat that needs a strong, hardworking crew to navigate it, just like our company.
