History

1990s – 2020s

Kiroshi is the general name of a small corporate group called, appropriately enough, “The Kiroshi Group.” The corporate group was founded in Kamisuwa, Nagano, Japan. It is a cybernetics company and is number one in the world in the making of optics. The corporation consist of two companies: Kiroshi General Cybernetics and Kiroshi Optics, of which Optics gets the lion’s share of the business.

In 2013 the group changed its name from “Kiro-shiya” to “Kiroshi.” It was originally a watch manufacturer in Kamisuwa, which expanded in the 1980s. It got its biggest boost by launching an orbital factory with the aid of JAB and Kenjiri Technology. Kiroshi got the availability to monopolized the optics business due to the quality of its orbital eyes and other products, such as the Optishield, the optical HUD (heads-up display), the optical remote cyber-cam, and the anti-dazzle protection “Opti-Flash.”

Kiroshi maintained very close ties with Kenjiri, and they had a joint design firm in orbit, to be closer to the manufacturing process. In 2020, Kiroshi was aiming to dominate the Asian market. Hong Kong and Shanghai, where cheap Kiroshi imitations were made, were the corporation’s prime targets. Aside from the Headquarters in Nagano, Kiroshi has other major offices in Tokyo, Osaka, Seattle, Night City, Washington, D.C., Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore. Kiroshi products can be found just about anywhere in the world, from smaller shops to large electronic chains.

2077

In 2077, Kiroshi has invested heavily in orbital facilities, and generally much of its manufacturing is done within their stations. Kiroshi has also invested heavily into marketing its products through celebrities and notable figures worldwide. One of their largest advertising campaigns features the hit Japanese idol group Us Cracks. The Kiroshi Corporation announced that it was working on new tetrachromatic optic implants. Kiroshi claimed that the new implant would increase the visible spectrum of light.
