Themiss Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ryotaro Itaya) is launching a public recruitment for partners who operate businesses such as events, contests, auditions, and IP planning on its cheering and voting platform, "Paton."
"Paton" is a cheering and voting platform that delivers fans' sentiments to performers and participants, much like passing a baton. Users can check ongoing events and support participants through cheering comments and応援アイテム (cheering items).
Currently, we operate events utilizing paid voting and応援アイテム, and have already conducted numerous one-off and ongoing transactions with external companies. As a cheering and voting platform equipped with a paid voting function, we boast the No. 1 number of events held in Japan. We aim for further growth of the Paton business by expanding collaborations with an even wider range of event organizers and content holders in the future.
*As of June 2026, based on our research.
