ARK is a Hiratsuka-based developer of modular closed recirculating aquaculture systems. In September 2026 it appointed Yosuke Sasaki, a founding member of the SoftBank Vision Fund, as an outside director to strengthen its global business strategy, capital strategy, and governance as it seeks to deploy its systems overseas.
The only Yomimono coverage of ARK as a company is the September 11, 2026 appointment of Yosuke Sasaki as an outside director. ARK is based in Hiratsuka and develops modular closed recirculating aquaculture systems. Sasaki is representative director of Soleil Partners and was a founding member of the SoftBank Vision Fund, where he was managing partner of its London office.
The stated purpose of the appointment is to strengthen the company's global business strategy, capital strategy, and governance as it seeks to deploy its systems overseas. That is the framework ARK itself put on the hire: investment-side experience, recruited from the SoftBank orbit, for a business that says it needs capital and partnership reach it does not currently have.
Most of the remaining stories in this cluster name ARK only in passing, as part of an unrelated product or event. GIGABYTE and Ark announced the arkhive BTO desktop PC Kamitaka Rin Desktop PC, an AORUS model with a live unit running at the AORUS booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026 at Makuhari Messe in Exhibition Hall 6 at 06-C02, with sales scheduled to begin in early October. That announcement is a PC collaboration and carries no aquaculture detail. No other story in the cluster establishes ARK's own operations, finances, or product lineup beyond the director appointment.
