Utagoe is a Tokyo-based web company specializing in video and communication technologies. Established in 2001 by Tom Sonoda, a Waseda University PhD student, the company originally introduced a music search engine for Japanese cell phones in 2004. The name "Utagoe" translates to "singing voice" in Japanese, reflecting the company's roots in music. Utagoe has since developed a range of proprietary video technologies, culminating in its newest product, Utagoe Live 100, a platform designed for video communication, streaming, and broadcasting.
Utagoe's most recent funding round, a ¥64.00M Venture Round investment on 15 January 2014, saw participation from ANOBAKA and KLab Ventures. With a focus on the music industry, Utagoe continues to innovate and provide superior solutions in the realm of video communication and streaming.
