Point Kiko Co., Ltd. (Sendagaya 2-7-9, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo), led by CEO Yuki Takeuchi, has currently filed about 30 patents to improve and resolve various social issues as an 'organization' (Kiko), and as a surrogate bringing happiness under the brand A-GEL (Agent + Angel). Regarding these applications, we have recently acquired Patent No. 7837527 for a 'new mechanism to make the value of famous people's faces, videos, and voices easier to find, easier to use, and to connect them longer into the future.' The official name of the invention is 'Information Processing Apparatus, Information Processing Method, and Information Processing Program.' The registration date is March 23, 2026. There are multiple rights holders, including K Trust Co., Ltd., which stands as the general agency for Point Kiko Co., Ltd. Yuki Takeuchi's patent assessment rate is currently 100%.

Simply put, this patent is a system that registers famous people's faces, videos, and voices, shows the usable range and fees, allows people who want to use them to see, choose, and apply, and calculates the amount based on how much it was actually used. In the patent summary as well, gathering materials, making the usable range and usage fees visible, receiving applications from those who want to use them, gathering actual usage records, and calculating amounts based on those records form the core of this technology.

To compare it, it's an idea close to an online store for goods. Online stores made goods easier to find, compare, and buy. This new mechanism does not sell the person themselves. It is a system like an 'online store for people's value' to find, choose, apply for, use, count, distribute, and connect the value of a person's face, video, voice, time, actions, and words within a promised framework. There is meaning in leaving not just money, but the person's memories and existence in society. This flow encompasses the steps described in the patent document: display, selection, usage request, acquisition of usage records, amount calculation, distribution, and succession settings.
