Kobunsha Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; President: Kazutoshi Tomoe) has conducted a survey through its marketing organization, 'Kobunsha Dokucho Research Institute,' targeting reader organizations of its monthly female media brands (e.g., 'CLASSY. Leaders,' 'Cloud Team VERY,' 'STORY Certified Personal Stylists,' and '美ST Luxe'). The report summarizes how these high-sensitivity community members spend their days and what values they cherish. Kobunsha refers to the small-scale qualitative research conducted by editors for daily planning as 'Dokucho,' which is the foundation of their magazine creation. Established in October 2025 to mark the company's 80th anniversary, this is Kobunsha's first marketing organization. By combining the qualitative insights gained from 'Dokucho' (direct interviews with readers) with quantitative data from surveys and social media, the institute provides high-resolution 'human-centric data' as a new solution for corporate marketing activities.
