## About

Founded in 2021 and based in Tokyo, Japan, Orange Inc. operates as a computer vision firm that engages in the development of deep learning models, specializing in the localization of Japanese comic books and graphic novels. In July 2025, Orange Inc. raised JPY 2.5 billion in venture debt funding from Shoko Chukin Bank, MUFG Bank, SMBC Trust Bank, and Mizuho Bank.

Orange develops and provides a manga AI (artificial intelligence) localization platform that makes use of computer vision and natural language processing tools to create a variety of deep learning models for automatically translating manga, which are comics or graphic novels, into numerous languages.
