TOKYO, JAPAN and HONG KONG – ZAIKO, the leading global media entertainment platform, and Vizualize, Hong Kong’s premier digital and IoT solution provider, today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate live entertainment and intellectual property (IP) distribution between Japan and Hong Kong.

The alliance combines ZAIKO’s extensive network of Japanese content with Vizualize’s dominant market infrastructure to unlock high-value monetization opportunities for content creators and IP owners. The partnership will focus on a diverse array of entertainment genres, including music, gaming, anime, e-sports, and V-tubers.

By joining forces, ZAIKO and Vizualize will jointly pitch to IP and content owners, offering a seamless pipeline to package, distribute, and monetize live entertainment assets across borders. Vizualize currently commands over 60% market share of Hong Kong’s theatrical ticketing platform industry. This infrastructure provides an immediate, massive audience footprint for Japanese entertainment looking to expand into Hong Kong and the broader Asian market.

"The strategic partnership brings forward our global vision and strategy to bring the Japanese IP and content into the Asian region," said Kaz Shimada, CEO of ZAIKO, K.K. "Vizualize has a great track record as a trusted tech platform based in Hong Kong, and we are immensely excited about unlocking new opportunities together."

"We are thrilled to collaborate with ZAIKO to bring premium Japanese entertainment directly to fans in Hong Kong," said Mac Chan, Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Vizualize. "This partnership strengthens our digital and IoT platform ecosystem, allowing us to offer diverse, high-demand content across music, anime, and gaming genres."

The collaboration begins immediately, with both companies actively engaging IP holders to launch new cross-border live entertainment experiences later this year.
