About

Catnose is a software developer, designer, and maker based in Japan, making a living by creating things independently.

In 2020, I launched Zenn, a blogging platform for developers, which was later acquired by Classmethod, Inc.

In 2024, I founded Kioku, an easygoing indie firm creating streamlined apps.

I currently lead Kioku and also run sizu.me, a personal project focused on essay writing.

Outside of work

I'm a dad of 3 super cute daughters (a dog, a cat and a human).

I love traveling. Some of my favorite places are Alaska, Patagonia, Leh (Northern India) and Miyako Island (Japan).
