Overview

RVH is a holding company established in 1996. It has diversified from graphics LSI development and is primarily growing through its IT solutions business. The company is located in Minato-ku, Tokyo.

Current Situation

RVH recorded consolidated sales of approximately 1.474 billion yen for the fiscal year ended 2021, with operating losses, while expanding diverse IT and software businesses through its group companies. After withdrawing from its traditional graphics LSI business, it has focused on a wide range of fields including IT system development, staffing services, digital marketing, and game development. In 2020, it exited the beauty-related business and consolidated its management resources around IT and software. Subsidiaries include RealVision (graphics board development), Kamitake (business solutions), Soar System (system development), K2D (consulting), and Sky Link (game development), aiming for multifaceted service provision. Profits have been shrinking due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the company is strengthening its business foundation to meet growing demand for IT digitalization. Moving forward, it will advance digital transformation support and new technology development to pursue medium- to long-term growth. Paid-in capital is approximately 1.678 billion yen, with 135 employees, operating a specialized group structure despite its small scale.
