KAGEMUSHA

A few businesses, each run with care.

Gaming, research and media — from New York, Las Vegas and Hong Kong.

THE NAME

A kagemusha is a double.

In feudal Japan, the man who took a lord's place so that no one would notice he was gone. Akira Kurosawa 黒澤明 made a film of it in 1980. We liked the idea of work that matters without being seen.
