Tokyo, Japan November 30 – Brave group is pleased to announce Hayashi Norikazu, the former representative director of Applovin Japan has been appointed to the position of CEO at MetaBash Inc., a North American affiliate company established this past August that operates a Metaverse platform business within the country and worldwide.
Additional Details:
With sights set on being a multifaceted driving force in the Metaverse economic sphere, as an entertainment trading company Brave group is best known for their operation of the RIOT MUSIC and Vspo! IP businesses. April of 2022 saw Brave group step into new territory with MetaLab, a subsidiary specializing in Metaverse economics that saw the launch of a new platform business utilizing the in-house “Brave Engine.”
Brave group’s IP enterprises also saw significant reinforcement this year with more overseas partnerships than ever, including partnerships with “MyAnimeList,” managers of one of the world’s most populated anime communities, and “Billboard Indonesia,” the Indonesian chapter of the famous “Billboard.”
With expectations suggesting that the global Metaverse market is set to grow more and more into the future, business development will naturally diversify alongside it.

I believe that Brave group is one of the few entities in the Metaverse market that can assist any company in entering the Metaverse.
