HEROZ, founded by amateur Grandmaster of Japanese chess, possesses a unique core technology of artificial intelligence (AI), named as "HEROZ Kishin."We have accumulated such technology as a machine learning and deep learning through the development of AI for Japanese Chess, Chess, Backgammon and Go.Now we are applying its cutting edge AI technology into various industries to solve difficult issues. HEROZ, inc. (“HEROZ”) has been and will continue to provide information technology services across the world, building on our concept of “heart filled with amazement” and aiming to “bring as many heroes into the world as possible”. The concept “heart filled with amazement”represents HEROZ’ fundamental thought to provide services that would bring excitement and amazement to everyone rather than simply introducing and applying information technologies. In the meanwhile, we also believe that every person has the potential to become a “hero” of a certain kind. One of the founders of HEROZ, Takahiro Hayashi, has won the national shogi (Japanese chess) championship among amateur players several times in his career, and has also obtained 6 Dan, the highest rank for amateur players. It was around that time that Hayashi began to believe in the immense possibilities of artificial intelligence (AI) which contributed to the improvement of his shogi techniques and skills.
