We plan, build and publish our own games, apps and original films, and we research and develop the AI production pipeline behind them in-house — then release it as open source.

Message from the Founder

AI is profoundly changing how films are made. Yet one thing never changes — the fundamentally human desire to tell stories.

Tokyo AI Visuals combines state-of-the-art AI pipelines with the craftsmanship of filmmaking to create our own games and films. The tools we build along the way are released as open source, so we can grow a freer, more creative way of making things together.

A new era of creation has already begun. Let's shape that future together.

KANA

Hi, I'm KANA (Natsume Kana) — a creator based in Tokyo and the founder of Tokyo AI Visuals LLC.

I specialize in cinematic AI-generated video fusing storytelling, striking visuals and cutting-edge technology — hands-on through every stage from concept to post.

Through KanaWorks_AI I've collaborated with global AI platforms and brands, earning 23+ awards along the way. Today I also build our own games and apps, and the AI pipeline behind them, hands-on. I believe AI is not a replacement for creators — it's a powerful extension of creative expression.
