Kindred AI's deployment in Japan has been swift and decisive. The team has completed 8 IP-themed conferences, with more than 10 additional meetings scheduled, all with a clear goal — to introduce Japan's most representative IP resources into the consumer-grade AI and Web3 ecosystem.

The logic behind this is easy to understand: Japanese IPs hold unparalleled influence in global culture. From national symbols like Hello Kitty to various anime IPs, Japan possesses content assets that transcend regions, languages, and cultures. For projects aiming to gain global user recognition in the Web3 era, collaborating with Japanese IPs is undoubtedly a key to opening the international market.

Japanese IP this time is indeed a tough nut to crack, but the question is, can Kindred really secure the IP rights? The folks behind anime IPs are quite tricky, what about you? Over 10+ meetings scheduled sounds impressive, but only actual implementation counts, right? Bringing in a character at the Hello Kitty level is real skill; otherwise, it's just talk. I'm optimistic about the Web3 + Japanese IP combo, but I'm worried it might just be another PPT project. How much does it cost to license Japanese IPs? Is the funding enough? However, truly, whoever secures Japanese IPs will have won most of the battle.

This move of Japanese IPs is truly brilliant. Who can resist the charm of the second dimension?

Japanese IPs are really attractive; I've had my eyes on them for a long time. But to be honest, can this kind of collaboration really materialize, or is it just another concept hype? If Kindred can bring in top-tier IPs like Hello Kitty this time, that would indeed be something. Waiting to see the results of the upcoming 10+ meetings; hopefully it won't be just big talk and no action. I'm just worried it will end up being a bunch of PPT dreamers. Japanese secondary IPs combined with Web3 is indeed a good idea; whoever gets in first wins.

Japanese IPs are indeed in high demand, but it seems like everyone is clustering together.

The cultural influence of Japanese IP is, in a sense, like porcelain on the ancient Silk Road — seemingly everyday consumer goods, but actually carrying the discourse power of civilization. Kindred is playing this move very clearly, but what’s truly interesting is whether the combination of AI and IP can break out of the simple "licensing + tokens" pattern to explore new forms of on-chain cultural recording.

Japanese IPs are indeed in high demand, but it seems like every project wants to get a share of the pie.

Japanese IPs are truly unbeatable; whoever gets them wins.
