About dubguild.com

DubGuild Inc. is a technology company specializing in advanced AI-powered dubbing solutions designed to break down language barriers for video content. Founded in October 2024 by Masatoshi Otake, the company is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. Otake, a graduate of the University of Tokyo's Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, has a background as a technician and entrepreneur, with experience as the first intern at Sakana.ai and participation in the IPA Mitoh Advanced Program. His motivation for starting DubGuild stems from a desire to tackle the complex, long-term challenge of high-quality AI dubbing.

Read full description

The company's core product is "DubSynth," an AI dubbing system that produces translated text and dubbed audio efficiently and with high quality. The technology aims to create dubbing that preserves the original world-view of the content by controlling for tone, rhythm, and emotional nuances, enabling localization without compromising narrative integrity. DubGuild is developing a large spoken language model (LSLM) that acquires non-verbal information directly from speech data to generate more natural, human-like dialogue. While the system provides automated suggestions, it also allows for human intervention to ensure the final product meets high-quality standards, addressing the nuances of an art form like film or anime.

DubGuild serves clients in the media and entertainment markets, including producers and distributors of films, anime, documentaries, and educational content. The business model involves providing these AI-driven multilingual dubbing services to content holders, facilitating their global market expansion. The company has gained significant attention, being selected for the University of Tokyo IPC's "1stRound" accelerator program in 2025 and the ICT Startup League. In May and June 2026, DubGuild announced a seed funding round led by JAFCO Group, with participation from others, securing significant investment to further its research and development.
