- Kimuratan Corporation (8107.T), founded in 1925 and headquartered in Kobe, Japan, primarily plans, manufactures, and sells baby and children's apparel and related products; it operates through three segments including Apparel, Real estate, and Others. The Apparel segment offers clothing such as suits, one-pieces, sweaters, pajamas, pants, socks, shoes, and fashion accessories under brands including n.o.u.s, Coeur a Coeur, n.o.u.s baby, and Biquette Club, distributed via shops in general merchandise stores and department stores, wholesale to specialty stores, retail outlets, and online platforms. The Real estate segment handles leasing and management of properties, while the Others segment encompasses wearable business with full-day child monitoring services using IoT technology and nursery school operations, primarily targeting the Japanese market.
Recent developments include the appointment of Yuichiro Kuki as President, CEO, and Representative Director in June 2024, succeeding prior leadership; an agreement in March 2024 to acquire Kyuken Kizai Ltd. from Kenichi Hirose for 150 million yen; and expectations of receiving 50 million yen funding from Mitsufuji Co., Ltd. in March 2024 to expand into wearable platforms. Earlier in 2024, the company acquired Ist Co., Ltd., Live Co., Ltd., and Connect Co., Ltd. from Mitsuhiro Kanno for approximately 280 million yen, alongside revenue growth to 1.76 billion yen for the fiscal year ended March 2025, up 36.92% from the prior year. These strategic moves reflect expansions in child-related services and real estate amid ongoing apparel segment challenges.
