When PSPINC started

thread
When PSPINC started
When Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. (PSPINC) was first founded in July 1987, it began as a one-person operation on Mercer Island, Washington. I was the founder, the president, and the sole employee. Everything from business planning to software development, customer service to operations, was handled by me.
 
The company’s original logo, which you see here, was also something I personally designed. At that time, PSPINC focused on software localization and development, particularly for Japanese-language environments. We were known as "double-byte specialists," helping companies adapt their applications for the Japanese market—long before the Internet became a part of daily life.
 
It wasn't until 1996, nearly a decade after our founding, that PSPINC entered the Internet business. As the web began to reshape global communication, we saw a clear opportunity and pivoted our focus. We launched web hosting services, email systems, and eventually built our own data center to provide secure, reliable solutions to clients both in the U.S. and Japan.
 
Today, as we approach July 7, 2025, we begin the 38th year of PSPINC’s journey. From a solo venture to a full-service software and internet solutions company, we have grown while staying true to our roots—developing all our software in-house, providing bilingual support, and continually adapting to our clients' needs.
 
I am deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us through the years—our clients, our partners, and especially our employees. Your trust and collaboration have made this journey possible.
 
Here’s to 38 years of growth, innovation, and service—and to the many more chapters yet to come.

Happy but not h... Happy but not h... Happy but not h... Happy but not h...
I was at Family Pancake House in Redmond yesterday. They serve very large portions of everything, and the prices are reasonable (well, not compared to Japan, of course).
 
When I went to pay my bill, the cashier asked me, “Do you want a discount?”
 
I replied, “Sure… but what kind of discount?”
 
She said, “Senior discount.”
 
I was happy to receive the discount, but I wasn’t quite sure how to feel about the type of discount.
I guess I am a senior now.

I have only been to Europe couple times and the last time I was there was 2015. That's almost 9 years ago. This picture was taken on June 25, 2015. My daughter was studying in Berlin under Fullbright Scholershp. I went there with my mother and had a tour of Germany, Italy, and Poland. I really like the German bread.

Kidney Transplant Update

thread
Kidney Transplant Update
Recovery Update After Kidney Transplant

Since receiving my kidney transplant on February 1, I have not needed dialysis at all.
This has been a truly joyful milestone and a major step forward in starting a new chapter of my life.
 
However, recently the transplant, there was some concern as my creatinine levels began to rise.
Based on my doctor’s evaluation, it appeared that the blood vessels connected to the new kidney might be narrowing.
To address this, I underwent a procedure last Monday to place a stent in the artery.
 
Fortunately, the procedure seems to have worked—my blood pressure and other vital signs have stabilized, and my test results are showing improvement.
It feels like my body is gradually adjusting to the new kidney.
 
I am deeply grateful to the medical staff who have supported me through this journey, and to everyone who kept me in their thoughts.
Moving forward, I plan to prioritize my health and take each day one step at a time with a positive outlook.

Korean for Lunch

Korean for Lunch Korean for Lunch
I don't usually eat out, but today we went to a Korean restaurant near my office. I ordered Korean tofu soup—a dish I haven’t had in a while. However, I found it extremely salty and couldn’t finish it. It left me feeling quite uncomfortable. Because of that, I didn’t feel hungry in the evening and just had a bowl of cereal for dinner. I think I’ve become very sensitive to salt since my surgery.

I asked AI to modernize a clas... I asked AI to modernize a clas...
With the rapid advancement of AI-generated art and imagery, we’re entering a new era of creativity. You can now produce a wide range of artwork — from photo-realistic portraits and digital paintings to logos, posters, and even animations — with just a few prompts. It’s not just impressive; it’s revolutionary.
 
But while this opens up exciting possibilities for creators and businesses, it also brings a wave of uncertainty for commercial artists and photographers. If I were in those professions, I’d definitely be concerned. AI can now generate visuals in seconds that might have previously taken hours or days, all without needing a camera, a studio, or even a model.
 
Of course, there will always be a place for human artistry — especially when it comes to unique style, storytelling, emotional depth, or real-world capture. But the commercial demand for routine, fast-turnaround, or budget-sensitive work is shifting rapidly toward AI.
 
The creative industry is changing. Those who adapt and learn to use these tools may thrive. Those who ignore them risk being left behind.

Nice Poster From Germany .... Wine Country ... Today's Wallpaper

Nice Poster From Germany .......
Nice Poster from Germany … Wine Country … Today’s Wallpaper
 
While visiting the wine country in Germany, I stumbled upon this gem of a poster—and I couldn’t resist sharing it. It features a retro-style illustration of a glamorous woman holding a glass of wine, paired with the cheeky caption:
 
“WINE! How classy people get wasted.”
 
There’s something about this design that blends elegance with humor so effortlessly. The vintage aesthetic, the knowing smile, and the bold, playful text all come together to create a piece that’s both charming and entertaining.
 
It’s a reminder that wine culture doesn’t always have to be taken so seriously. Sure, wine can be sophisticated and refined—but sometimes, it’s also just about having a good time with good company (and maybe just a little too much Merlot).
 
This poster doesn’t just make me smile—it also reminds me of how unique and vibrant the wine regions of Germany are. From the scenic vineyards along the Rhine and Mosel rivers to the small villages with centuries of winemaking tradition, there’s a lot to celebrate—both in taste and in spirit.
 
I think I’ve found my new favorite wallpaper.

Do You Trust Your Service Provider?
 
When it comes to business technology—software developers, IT support teams, hosting providers, or cybersecurity consultants—trust is everything. These are the people and companies that have access to your data, your systems, and ultimately, your business continuity. But ask yourself: Do you really trust your service providers?
 
In today’s digital world, technology isn’t just part of your business—it is your business. From your email and website to customer data and internal tools, your daily operations rely on reliable, secure, and responsive IT services. But reliability goes beyond uptime and quick fixes. It’s about trust.
 
>>> Do they protect your data like it’s their own?
 
>>> Do they deliver on what they promised?
 
>>> Do they communicate openly and honestly—especially when things go wrong?
 
>>> Are they proactive in suggesting improvements and security updates?
 
>>> Do you know who is actually doing the work, or is it outsourced to someone you've never met?
 
At PSPINC, we’ve built our business on trust. That means no outsourcing. All of our software is developed in-house in the United States. We own and operate our servers. We answer our own support calls. We’re transparent, accountable, and responsive—because we know that our success depends entirely on the success and trust of our clients.
 
If you can’t answer yes to the questions above, maybe it’s time to re-evaluate who you’re trusting with your technology.

Do you remember the compact disc?

If you do, did you know that a standard compact disc can hold up to 74 minutes of music?
But have you ever wondered why 74 minutes?
 
When Philips and Sony worked together to create the compact disc, the original version could only hold about 60 minutesof music. However, Sony’s then-president Norio Ohga requested that the capacity be extended to 74 minutes—the length of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony in its entirety.
 
And that’s why CDs can hold exactly 74 minutes of audio. Now you know.

Challenges for U.S. Automakers in Japan

thread
Challenges for U.S. Automakers... Challenges for U.S. Automakers...
Challenges for U.S. Automakers in Japan

Size Mismatch
Japanese roads and parking spaces are significantly smaller than those in the U.S. Most American vehicles are too large for daily use in Japan, making them impractical for many consumers.
 
Right-Hand Drive
Japan drives on the left side of the road, requiring vehicles with right-hand drive. Many U.S. automakers do not manufacture right-hand drive versions of their vehicles, limiting their appeal.
 
Fuel Efficiency
Japanese consumers place a high value on fuel efficiency due to high fuel prices and environmental awareness. Many American cars fall short when compared to fuel-efficient Japanese models.
 
Brand Perception
Japanese brands are widely viewed as more reliable, affordable, and well-suited to local needs. In contrast, U.S. brands are often seen as niche or luxury, rather than practical choices.
 
Lack of Dealer Network
There are few dealerships and service centers for American brands in Japan, which makes purchasing and maintaining a U.S. vehicle less convenient.
 
Importance of Market Adaptation
If U.S. automakers are concerned about poor sales in Japan, they should ask themselves: Are we adapting to the market?
For example, look at the UK—a country that also drives on the left. U.S. cars like the Ford Mustang, Tesla Model Y, and Jeep Wrangler have found success there because they offer right-hand drive, fit consumer expectations, and have dedicated local support.
 
To succeed in Japan, American automakers must do more than just export vehicles—they must engineer for the environment, build trust, and invest in localization.

Scam or Fake Commercial

thread
Scam or Fake Commercial
I'm sorry, but I’ve made a personal decision not to buy anything—and I truly mean anything—that’s advertised on YouTube. This especially applies to cars. Whenever I see a car commercial on YouTube, it usually signals to me that the manufacturer is in trouble.
 
Think about it—strong, in-demand brands rarely need to push aggressive ads to random viewers online. When I see a car ad pop up, it often feels like a desperate attempt to boost sales, clear out inventory, or salvage public perception. If a car company is spending heavily on YouTube ads, it raises red flags for me. Are they not selling well through traditional channels? Are they struggling financially? Is consumer trust slipping?
 
Of course, advertising is part of every business, but I’ve noticed that the more a product is pushed in my face, the more skeptical I become. If it’s really that good, I should be hearing about it from real people—not YouTube pre-rolls.
 
So yes, I avoid buying anything promoted this way. And when it comes to cars, it’s almost a guarantee that I’ll look elsewhere.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 343 What Makes Truly Good Technical Support?

thread
Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. ...

What Makes Truly Good Technical Support?

People may think that the ideal technical support can solve every problem. However, the reality is, immediate solutions aren't always possible in every situation. Some cases will have technical limitations, external factors, or unexpected issues that make it difficult to find a quick solution.

So, what really constitutes good support?
It’s about building a relationship of trust through consistent and sincere communication with customers. Even if you can’t resolve the issue right away, explaining the current situation and the next steps, customers feel that we are truly committed to their needs.

Another important aspect is the customer’s cooperation.
Support doesn’t just go one way; when customers actively share information about their current situation and what they’ve already tried, it results in faster and more accurate troubleshooting. Regardless of the final outcome, when both sides work together and make efforts toward a solution, trust grows.

Even if resolution takes time, this mutual understanding leads to customer satisfaction. Ultimately, many issues don’t arise from technical problems alone, but from a lack of communication.

Technical support isn't just about providing technical solutions; it’s about creating mutual understanding between people. We believe that this mindset is the key to trusted support.

Today's Wallpaper June 25, 2...
What Does “MADE IN USA” Mean to You?
 
“Made in USA” isn’t just a label—it’s a promise.
 
To me, it means standing behind your product with pride and responsibility. It’s not just about where it’s made, but how it’s made. When you put that label on a product, your company is saying, “We believe in the quality and integrity of what we offer.”
 
Does “Made in USA” have to mean more expensive? Not necessarily. While costs may be higher, the value should be clear—better materials, ethical practices, and long-lasting performance.
 
At PSPINC, our software is 100% Made in USA. We do not outsource our development—we build everything in-house to maintain the highest standards of quality, security, and service.

Stent Procedure at Virginia Mason Today

thread
Stent Procedure at Virginia M...
I was at Virginia Mason in Seattle this morning for a procedure to place a stent in the artery that supplies blood to my new kidney. The doctors found that the artery was slightly narrow, which could affect proper kidney function, so they decided to insert a stent to improve blood flow.
 
The procedure began at 8:30 AM and lasted about an hour, finishing by 10:00 AM. I was discharged in the afternoon and took the rest of the day off to rest at home. Now I'm lying down in bed, taking it easy and letting my body recover.

I took this picture from the parking lot of the hospital I visited early this morning.
It was just after 7:00 a.m., and there was hardly any traffic—except at the freeway exit.
I wanted to arrive early for my lab work, as the lab gets really busy around 7:30 a.m. on Monday mornings.

Thankfully, I was able to finish everything before the rush.

"If you make no mistake, how ...
"If you make no mistake, how do you learn?"
 
Mistakes are not just errors—they're opportunities. When we avoid failure at all costs, we often avoid growth. True learning happens when we try, stumble, reflect, and adapt. Each mistake is a mirror showing us what needs attention, a stepping stone guiding us toward improvement.
 
Perfection might look appealing, but it rarely teaches us anything new. It is in the missteps that we discover our gaps in knowledge, challenge our assumptions, and build resilience. If you never make a mistake, it means you're staying safely within the boundaries of what you already know. And staying in that comfort zone means stagnation, not growth.
 
So instead of fearing mistakes, embrace them. They’re signs that you’re trying, learning, and moving forward.

OMOTENASHI おもてなし

thread
OMOTENASHI おもてな...
When I checked into my hotel in Japan, I noticed a small 折り鶴 (orizuru)—a folded paper crane—placed on the windowsill. At first glance, it may seem like nothing special. But to me, it reflected a quiet sense of care and attention. A small gesture, yes, but one that showed how much the hotel values its guests.
 
This is what the Japanese call “omotenashi.”
 
What is omotenashi?
Omotenashi is the Japanese spirit of hospitality—providing service with sincerity, grace, and attention to detail, all without expecting anything in return. It’s about anticipating the needs of others and making them feel truly welcome, often through subtle, thoughtful acts like this.
 
 
This is my wallpaper for a day.

Beware of Fake DocuSign Emails
 
We recently received an email that appeared to come from DocuSign—but it wasn’t. This is a phishing attempt designed to trick you into entering your DocuSign login information.
 
Important:
If you receive an unexpected email asking you to review or sign a document via DocuSign, be cautious. Do not enter your password unless you are absolutely sure the request is legitimate.
 
If you suspect you've entered your credentials on a fake site, change your password immediately to protect your account.
 
Stay vigilant and always double-check the sender’s email address and the URL of any links you click.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 342 Build Your Own Database: New System for Business Efficiency

thread
Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. ...

Build Your Own Database: New System for Business Efficiency

When you hear the word' database,' do you think it’s something just for experts? That’s actually not true. For example, entering and submitting travel expenses in Excel is a form of database operation. However, people often create a new file every time and manually compile the data, which takes time and effort.

At PSPINC, we’re developing a new system designed to make these everyday tasks simpler and more efficient.
It’s a SaaS (Software as a Service) tool that lets anyone build custom databases using easy-to-design forms.

Key Features
  • No programming required: Just set up the fields on the screen, and your form and database are ready to go.
  • Reusable forms: Create an expense form once and reuse it as many times as you need, saving a significant amount of time.
  • Easy data utilization: The system will automatically organize and store all input data and be available to export to Excel.
  • Wide range of uses: Use the system in countless ways, including tracking expenses, creating customer lists, managing inventory, and handling reservations.
And there’s another major goal behind this development:

Scalability with external integration in mind
We’re developing this system with API (Application Programming Interface) functionality, letting it integrate with external programs and other business systems.

For example:
  • Automatically connect with your accounting system to record expenses.
  • Automatically send data to your customer relationship management (CRM).
  • Immediately collect application information by linking to your website.
From helping small businesses and sole proprietors to serving as part of a large-scale enterprise system, we aim to create a flexible, scalable tool that meets a wide range of needs.

Currently, the development is in its final stages, and we plan to begin recruiting test users soon.
If you feel limited by Excel-based management or are looking to make better use of your data, we encourage you to stay tuned.

The first step to improving operations is rethinking repetitive tasks.
At PSPINC, we're here to help you take that crucial first step.

MRI Today

MRI Today MRI Today
I had an MRI done today at the facility near the Virginia Mason Issaquah.
The purpose was to check whether the blood flow to my new kidney is being properly cooled and maintained.
 
If the blood flow is found to be insufficient, they may need to insert a stent to ensure a stable and secure supply to the kidney.
 
I don’t have the results yet, but I should know soon.
Even if a stent is needed, it’s a relatively minor procedure, so I’m not too worried.

June 16, 2025 Today's Wallpaper

thread
June 16, 2025 Today's Wallpa...
Today's wallpaper is a photo of playground equipment taken at a park called Robinswood. Modern playgrounds are designed with safety in mind—soft wood chips now cover the ground to cushion falls, and the equipment itself is built to prevent injuries, unlike the playgrounds of the past.
 
I used to love jumping off the top of jungle gyms into the sandbox. That would probably be considered dangerous now. I also remember the metal slides in the park—they were made of stainless steel, and on hot summer days, they’d get so hot they could burn your skin. There were spinning playground rides too, and I remember being thrown off at high speed, along with a few others. You don’t see those anymore—calling them "play equipment" might be too generous; they were more like weapons!
 
We often got scraped and bruised playing at the park, but kids today rarely experience that. I used to enjoy climbing trees with my friends and jumping off from high branches, but I never see children doing that nowadays. Kids today seem a lot softer. I can’t help but wonder—will they be okay when they grow up?
 
今日のウォールペーパーは「ロビンズウッド」という公園で撮影した遊具の写真です。最近の遊具は、安全性が重視されていて、地面には転んでも痛くないように柔らかい木くずが敷かれていて、遊具自体も昔のように怪我をするようなものは見られません。
 
私は昔、ジャングルジムのてっぺんから砂場に飛び降りるのが大好きでした。今なら「危ない」と言われそうですね。公園にあったステンレス製の滑り台は、夏になると熱くなりすぎて、滑るとお尻が火傷しそうになったのを覚えています。ぐるぐる回る遊具もあって、ものすごいスピードで回していたので、私を含めて何人かが振り飛ばされることもありました。そんな遊具、今ではもう見かけません。もはや遊具というより“武器”と言ったほうが正しいかもしれません。
 
昔は公園でよく擦りむいたり、怪我をしたものです。でも今の子供たちは、そういう経験をすることがほとんどありません。私は木に登って、そこから飛び降りるのが好きでしたが、今の子供たちでそんなことをしているのを見たことがありません。今の子たちは本当に“ソフト”ですよね。こんなことで、大人になって大丈夫なんでしょうか?

I went to Issaquah's Saturday Farmers Market today, held at Pickering Farm, right next to the Costco in Issaquah. I was also able to fill up my car at the Costco gas station. The price was $4.299 per gallon—still quite high compared to the national average. High gas prices are just one of the many downsides of living in a blue state.
 
I wonder if there was a protest—or even a riot—in Seattle today. I wouldn’t know, as I don’t watch TV or listen to the radio.

Schools in the USA (Washington State)

thread
Schools in the USA (Washingto...
Schools in America tend to be much newer, larger, and equipped with more facilities and resources. The budgets allocated to public education in the United States are generally much higher than those in Japan, especially when it comes to the physical infrastructure. Significant amounts of tax money are invested in building modern campuses, purchasing state-of-the-art equipment, maintaining sports fields, and providing advanced technology such as computers and interactive whiteboards.
 
In contrast, many public schools in Japan are older and far less equipped by comparison. It is not uncommon to see decades-old school buildings with minimal updates. Classrooms may lack modern teaching tools, and facilities can be quite basic. However, this does not necessarily correlate with the quality of education.
 
In fact, the educational outcomes tell a different story. Despite having older facilities, Japanese students consistently perform well in international academic comparisons, especially in math, science, and literacy. The emphasis in Japanese education is often placed on discipline, effort, and foundational skills rather than on the latest equipment. Teachers in Japan also tend to have strong professional training and a deep commitment to fostering learning.
 
In short, while American schools may appear more modern and better funded in terms of infrastructure, Japan demonstrates that the true strength of an education system lies in its teaching, culture, and academic focus—not simply in its buildings or hardware.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 341 Start Your Company First

thread
Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. ...

Start Your Company First

"I have an idea. I even have a product or service in mind. But starting a business sounds scary”.
If you feel this way, you’re not alone. Many people feel the same.

But here’s what I want to tell you loud and clear— Start by creating your company.

To be honest, I didn’t start my company because I had a grand dream or ambition. I was simply pushed into a situation where I had to continue my work, not as an employee, but as a business owner.

I had two options: Quit, or do it on my own.
I chose to do it on my own and set up the company.

Of course, I didn’t prepare anything at first. But once I officially registered the company, something shifted in me. Every step, from obtaining a title to opening a bank account to distributing business cards, made me feel like a real entrepreneur. And gradually, owning a company started to give me trust and opportunities that I wouldn’t have gotten otherwise.

That’s why, if you have an idea or something you want to try, I encourage you to just start by creating your company. It doesn’t have to be perfect, and you don’t need to have everything figured out. Creating your company might just be the first step in your business journey.

Car Wash Service Provider ... Subscription Business

thread
Car Wash Service Provider ......
you live in the Seattle area, you’ve probably seen a Brown Bear Car Wash. It’s one of the most popular car wash services in the region — and a big part of its success comes from one smart idea: monthly subscription pricing.
 
For a flat monthly fee, customers can wash their car as often as they like. No need to think about it or pay each time. That simple model has turned Brown Bear into a local favorite and a steady business.
 
But this strategy isn’t just for car washes. Subscription models can be applied to many businesses — and more companies should take note.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 340 Overthinking Holds You Back

thread
Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. ...

Overthinking Holds You Back

This is impossible. No one will buy this. It's too hard to make. The market research shows poor results. Whenever we try to move forward with something, negative thoughts often overwhelm us.

But in reality, you never know what’ll happen until you actually try. Even ideas perfect in theory can fail; on the other hand, ideas that seem impossible on paper sometimes succeed for unexpected reasons.

We often try to figure everything out in our heads. But in the real world, sometimes taking action is the only way we learn. Being proactive and fast are crucial, especially in business. Rather than overthinking and staying stuck, take the first step–even if it’s risky.

Of course, you don't have to jump in recklessly. You need to manage risks and have some minimal preparation, but if you're always focused on reasons not to act, you'll keep missing opportunities.

Just do it. If what you’re doing isn't working, change it and try again.
The only way to succeed is by moving forward, one step at a time.

You send me an email using a Hotmail account.

thread
Do you trust this company? Do you trust this company?
You send me an email using a Hotmail account.
 
Using free email services like Hotmail, Gmail, or YahooMail for business can send the wrong message to potential customers. Here’s what many people may assume about your business:
 
Negative Perceptions:
 
Unprofessional Image
Using a personal email (like yourname@gmail.com) can make your business seem small, temporary, or even unreliable.
 
Lack of Credibility
Customers may question whether you're a legitimate company. They might wonder: “Why don’t they have their own domain?”
 
Security Concerns
Free email providers may raise concerns about data security and privacy, especially if you're handling sensitive or confidential information.
 
Poor Branding
You're missing a chance to reinforce your brand every time you send an email. A custom domain email (yourname@yourcompany.com) builds recognition and trust.
 
What You Should Do Instead:
 
Get a custom domain and a business-class email service. It shows:
 
You're established and serious.
 
You care about your professional image.
 
You prioritize security and organization.
 
Would you trust a lawyer, consultant, or retailer using @hotmail.com? Probably not. The same applies to your business.
 
Need help setting up a branded email? PSPINC’s Dreamersi Web & Email Hosting provides professional email services with your own domain — affordable and secure.

The suspected pneumonia from...
This morning, I went to the office, and on the way back, I stopped by the hospital for a chest X-ray. This was the final test to confirm whether the suspected pneumonia from early last month was truly resolved.
 
In the afternoon, I received a call from the hospital saying that my lungs are clear and there are no issues. With that, the suspicion of pneumonia has been completely ruled out.
 
I sincerely apologize for any concern I may have caused. So, it turns out the pneumonia scare was a false alarm — and thankfully, it’s all settled now.

The Importance of Storytelling in Marketing — and Why It Works

thread
The Importance ...
The Importance of Storytelling in Marketing — and Why It Works
 
Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools in marketing — not just because it’s engaging, but because it connects with people on a human level. Here's why storytelling works so effectively in marketing:
 
1. People Remember Stories, Not Stats
 
Facts and figures can be forgotten quickly. But a well-told story stays with people. When a marketing message is wrapped in a story, it becomes easier to recall and repeat — making your brand more memorable.
 
2. Stories Build Emotional Connections
 
Emotion drives decision-making. A good story can make your audience feel inspired, empathetic, curious, or even nostalgic. These feelings create a bond between your brand and the audience that goes beyond products or services.
 
3. It Makes Your Brand Relatable
 
Rather than just talking about what your company does, storytelling allows you to show why you do it. Sharing challenges, customer journeys, or your brand’s origin story helps people see the human side of your business — making it easier for them to trust you.
 
4. Differentiation in a Crowded Market
 
Many businesses sell similar products or services, but your story is unique. Sharing it helps set you apart from competitors who may only focus on price or features.
 
5. Drives Action
 
When done well, storytelling leads the audience on a journey — with a beginning, middle, and clear call to action at the end. It doesn’t feel like a hard sell, but it motivates people to take the next step.
 
In short:
Storytelling makes your marketing more human, more memorable, and more persuasive. People don’t just buy what you do — they buy why you do it. And the best way to show that "why" is through a story.

Made in USA

thread
Made in USA
At PSPINC, we take pride in the fact that we have never outsourced our development or operations overseas. Every product we create — from software design and coding to support and infrastructure management — is built and maintained entirely in-house by our team based in the United States.
 
That said, we do have a trusted team member based in Japan who supports us with Japanese-language software development. This ensures that our bilingual solutions are not only technically sound but also culturally accurate and relevant for Japanese users. Even in this case, the work is done by someone who is part of our team, not a third-party vendor.
 
Why does this matter?
 
Because it means we have full control over quality, security, and support. It ensures faster response times, better communication, and a deeper understanding of our customers' needs. It also means we’re investing in local talent and contributing to the communities where we live and work.
 
For us, outsourcing may save money — but it often sacrifices accountability, reliability, and innovation. That’s not a trade we’re willing to make.
 
At PSPINC, when you work with us, you’re working directly with the people who build and support your solutions — not a third party across the globe.

Do you need someone with Harvard Law Degree?

Do you need someone with Ha...
Do you need someone with a Harvard Law Degree?
No.
 
Unless you're a government agency or a large corporation dealing directly with government regulations and policies, you don’t need someone with a Harvard Law degree.
 
For most businesses, what truly matters is practical legal knowledge, experience, and the ability to deliver results — not where someone went to school.

How PSPINC Is Managed Differently

thread
A year and half before Kenichi... A year and half before Kenichi started PSPINC.
How PSPINC Is Managed Differently
 
PSPINC is not your typical tech company. Since its founding, we’ve followed a unique and disciplined approach to business management:
 
Founded with Personal Investment
PSPINC was started in 1987 in Kenichi Uchikura’s apartment with just $5,000 of his own money. There were no outside investors, no venture capital — just vision and determination.
 
Debt-Free Philosophy
PSPINC has never borrowed money, except for the mortgage on our Bellevue building — which is now fully paid off. We’ve built this company without relying on loans or credit.
 
Cash-First Equipment Policy
We do not purchase equipment or invest in infrastructure unless we have the cash to pay for it in full. No leasing, no financing — we believe in owning what we use.
 
Financial Stability
PSPINC always keeps enough cash reserves to operate for several months, even with no incoming revenue. This allows us to weather economic uncertainties without panic.
 
Privately Held Ownership
The company has only two shareholders: Kenichi Uchikura (owning over 80%) and Otsuka Corporation (owning less than 20%). This gives us the freedom to make decisions quickly and independently.
 
Employee-Centered Benefits
We provide one of the best healthcare coverage plans for our employees and their families. We believe a company is only as strong as the people who build it.
 
Flexible Work Environment
While we support remote work, it is offered selectively and not on a regular basis. We value in-person collaboration while maintaining flexibility when needed.
 
All In-House Operations
PSPINC does not outsource Development, Support, or Administration. Everything is handled internally by our dedicated team to ensure quality, consistency, and accountability.
