    I’m curious about where this image is from. Wikipedia sources do not name Takuro Mizobe, and I’m struggling to properly translate the Japanese copy of corporate.coincheck.com

    Further, they seem to be a subsidiary of Monex Group, which has a fairly decent reputation as a financial services corp.

    TinEye turns up no results for this image, so I’d really love to know where it came from.

    EDIT: Even further, are we sure there aren’t a bunch of people that are named Takuro Mizobe in Japan, and these are both separate, different people who happen to have the same name?

    Because here’s a LinkedIn profile of a Takuro Mizobe who seems to work in financial services but does not seem to be affiliated with Palworld.

        Thank you!

        For the link and for using Nitter to do it.

        Although it’s still interesting that on Wikipedia he is not listed as a founder. They reference two other people, but not Mizobe.

          You know you can fix that right?

            No I can’t, Wikipedia only uses news articles as sources.

            Not only is it not a news article, the person the Wikipedia entry is on is the source of the info, which is a big no-no on Wikipedia.

            So no, I can’t, because I understand how Wikipedia works. If there is a news article referencing him being a founder, that’s a different story, but this is his personal Twitter.
