ABOUT CHIERO

Explore what
this life can be.
With the world.

Take part fully in business, creation and everyday life.
This is the idea at the heart of CHIERO.

CHIERO’s red hat and sign from his street performance days

The world changes through relationships. We act within it, help shape it and are changed in return. We bring our senses, desires and abilities into that exchange.

We pursue the richness we want: create value, bring it to people and earn a living from it. Explore, express, play, connect and savor. Working with AI expands what we can notice and what we can make possible.

Rest, care and time to experience things deeply are part of that life too. We leave room for wishes we have not yet discovered, then step into the next experiment.

FOUNDER & REPRESENTATIVE DIRECTOR

CHIERO KO NAKATA / 中田光

Try it firsthand.
Think it through together.

Born in Fukuoka. After researching IT and medicine at Kyushu University’s graduate school, Ko became a professional street performer in Fukuoka, Tokyo and Sydney. He later worked in IT before founding CHIERO.

Today his work spans business advisory, media, publishing, and art and products made with AI.

Read widely. Make, publish and observe. Moving between classical questions and the newest tools, he keeps revising what he understands and how he expresses it.
