KIZUKI Inc. is a startup revolutionizing productivity and safety at construction sites through 3D concrete printing technology. We pioneered Japan's first successful 3D-printed two-story residential construction, establishing a proprietary construction system that integrates material development, design, and robotic control. Aiming to solve societal challenges such as labor shortages, prolonged construction periods, and construction waste, KIZUKI is advancing implementation across diverse fields including housing, public facilities, and disaster prevention structures. We advance our business under the motto “Building the Future.”
KIZUKI Corporation is engaged in the research and development of an “automated construction system” centered on 3D concrete printing technology. To address challenges such as labor shortages, extended construction periods, and precision issues at construction sites, we are building an ICT platform that integrates robot control, material development, and design data linkage. Through industry-academia collaboration and practical verification, we aim to standardize construction data and establish quality traceability, challenging ourselves to realize sustainable and safe construction processes.

Rika IgarashiIn 2000, I founded a systems company and have been involved in planning and operations within the IT field. Later, I studied Oriental medicine as an acupuncturist and became interested in the “power to align” people and society. Currently, I am drawn to the new technology of 3D concrete printing and am challenging myself to transform the very form of construction. Since starting this venture, I have obtained certifications including slinging, forklift operation, 4-ton crane operation, aerial work platform operation, harness training, and Class 2 Electrical Work License, accumulating more hands-on field experience than anyone else. |

| Childhood Dream | As a child, I wanted to become a doctor who could save people all over the world, unbound by titles. I deeply yearned for a way of life where, if I had the skills, I could live as myself—not as “someone from such-and-such place.” |
| Influential People, Things, and Events | The concepts of “harmony,” “circulation,” and “awareness” from Eastern medicine, which I learned as an acupuncturist, form the foundation of my current work. Architecture, like the human body, is built on the balance of the whole, not just its parts. I don't aim for “one-man dominance”; instead, I value harmony with each specialist, craftsman, and technique. Creating a sustainable form that integrates not only new technology but also wisdom and craftsmanship cultivated over many years, without strain. Sustainable construction is not about competition, but about alignment. I apply this “strength born from harmony,” learned from Eastern medicine, to my business. |
| Motivation, Goals, and Ideal World | My experience in the construction industry is relatively short, but I felt this field faced numerous challenges needing solutions—labor shortages, long project timelines, safety concerns, and more. It was amidst this that I encountered deep tech: 3D concrete printing. The first time I saw this technology, I intuitively knew, “This is the future.” I believed it could fundamentally change how construction is done—and that conviction led me to start my own company. Even as CEO, I've spent more time than anyone operating the machines on-site, learning through trial and error. The experience gained through hands-on practice is my greatest asset. I specifically chose to tackle two-story houses—the most challenging projects—because I believed overcoming that hurdle would enable application to other structures. My vision is a construction industry where people and technology harmonize, enabling diverse individuals—regardless of gender, age, or race—to thrive. I aim to fuse cutting-edge technology with traditional craftsmanship, realizing a “harmonious approach to creation” built on mutual respect. Together, we will build a future where people and technology continue to grow side by side. |
