Naoto Kato

After studying cosmology and quantum computing at Kyoto University’s Faculty of Science, I dropped out of graduate school and spent about three years in seclusion. In 2015, I founded a startup called "Cluster," utilizing VR technology. In 2017, I launched the VR platform "cluster," which allows for large-scale virtual events. Currently, it has evolved into a metaverse platform where users can not only hold events but also talk with friends using their favorite avatars and enjoy posting and playing online games. I was selected as one of "30 Under 30 Japan" by Forbes Japan for changing the world. My book, "Metaverse: Goodbye Atom Era" was published by Shueisha in 2022.
