Katagrma (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hironobu Otake) has officially launched a new YouTube channel, 'HoiTopi! [Delivering the Latest News in the Childcare Industry],' to provide expert analysis on industry trends. Having spent over 15 years sharing information through text since 2008, CEO Otake explains why he has chosen video as a medium now: a strong sense of urgency regarding the spread of misinformation via generative AI and social media.

Background: The Loss of 'Information Quality' in an Era Overwhelmed by Text

Since 2008 through blogs and from 2020 via note, we have continuously provided proposals for the childcare industry. However, due to the rapid spread of generative AI, the internet is flooded with generic, formalistic text information, making it increasingly difficult for 'truly real and valuable information needed by the frontline' to reach its audience.

Furthermore, on social media platforms (especially X), distorted information regarding national policies and field realities is spreading, leading many childcare professionals and parents to rely on inaccurate facts.

Given this situation, we decided that communicating through a medium where 'my face can be seen and my voice can be heard—backed by 20 years of experience' is the most trustworthy way to deliver information, thus starting the YouTube channel 'HoiTopi!'

Value Provided by the 'HoiTopi!' Channel

This channel will not only introduce the latest news in the childcare, early childhood education, and developmental support sectors, but also feature live voices from management and the frontline, alongside insights from our employees. Our style is 'relaxed but deep,' aiming to cut through the real issues of the industry that are rarely discussed openly, creating a space open to everyone involved in childcare.
