As digital transformation accelerates across Asia, companies face increasingly complex information sources and public discourse, raising the stakes for brand trust, risk management and sound decision-making. With Japan’s high bar for information quality and decision precision squarely in view, BIG DATA Co., Ltd. today launched the Japan edition of KEYPO, its AI-powered public sentiment analysis platform. Built with a fully localized UI, database and analytics tailored to the Japan market, plus a dedicated “Custom Channel Monitoring” feature, the launch marks a new phase in the company’s international expansion. BIG DATA CEO Staney Chin(金志丞) said KEYPO draws on more than a decade of data analytics and AI experience serving businesses, government agencies and academic institutions, helping them understand public discourse, track emerging risks and support critical decisions. By extending the data capabilities it has built serving more than 1,000 leading enterprise clients across industries in Taiwan into Japan, a mature and exacting market, KEYPO aims to become a trusted decision-support partner for companies across Asia, while building momentum toward the company’s planned public listing.
From Taiwan to Japan: BIG DATA Goes International
Three Localized Features Built for Real Needs in the Japan Market
According to market research firm Global Information Inc. (GII), Japan’s digital transformation market was worth an estimated $58 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of more than 20%, reflecting surging demand for digital solutions, including AI tools. At the same time, Japan’s governance, risk and compliance platform market, currently valued at around $2.9 billion, is expected to reach $7.6 billion within eight years, underscoring companies’ urgent need to monitor risk and market shifts in real time. The new Japan edition of KEYPO isn’t simply a language port of the existing product. It’s a ground-up localization built around Japan’s information ecosystem, usage patterns and corporate decision-making culture. With this launch, KEYPO extends the sentiment analysis and AI-driven semantic understanding it has honed in Taiwan to a market where the bar for information quality and trust runs even higher, giving companies data insight they can trust and act on directly.
Recognizing that Japanese companies value efficiency and consensus-driven decision-making, the Japan edition of KEYPO was designed around principles of intuitiveness and simplicity tailored to Japanese users. Clear visuals and easy-to-read analysis let even non-technical users quickly grasp the key takeaways, shortening the time it takes teams to align internally and make calls on brand management, risk response and strategic planning. On the data side, the Japan edition is built around Japan’s local information landscape, drawing on Japanese news outlets, mainstream social platforms, blogs, and a range of other sources including well-known anonymous forums like 5channel. By fully capturing the structure of online discussion in Japan, companies can see not just what’s trending, but the stance, sentiment and context behind it, surfacing the voices that actually shape markets and public opinion.
For the Japan market, KEYPO is also introducing a first-of-its-kind feature, “Custom Channel Monitoring,” that lets companies zero in on discussions across specific media outlets, social channels or target audiences. Compared with broad volume tracking, this feature helps companies cut through the noise to identify the voices that truly carry influence, sharpening risk assessment and strategic decision-making.
BIG DATA said the launch of KEYPO’s Japan edition marks the company’s formal entry into international market operations. It plans to keep building out local data infrastructure and feature development, with Asia as its core focus, while gradually expanding into more international use cases to help companies make more confident decisions in an increasingly complex information environment.
