The side-job talent service lotsful has been carved out from Persol Innovation through a company split and established as lotsful Inc. in May 2026. Effective today, the new company has joined the Akatsuki Group to expand its corporate support solutions, combining project data with AI and talent.
lotsful Inc. was established in May 2026 after a company split from Persol Innovation, with Midori Tanaka as CEO. The service, which started in June 2019 as a Persol Group in-house business, focuses on side-job talent for business-related roles.
Akatsuki, led by Tetsuro Koda, has been strengthening its B2B areas such as AI and PR. The two companies held discussions on where lotsful could grow most, leading to the carve-out and group participation.
lotsful plans to use data from tens of thousands of projects over seven years, combining individual skills and corporate challenge insights with Akatsuki's technology and marketing assets. The goal is to become a foundation supporting corporate transformation through AI, talent, and data.
