About Us

anosa.ai is a Japan-based technology company dedicated to bringing meaningful conversation back into everyday life.

Inspired by the gentle Japanese phrase “anosa (あのさ)” - often used to start a conversation with someone close - we create warm, safe, and human-centric talking soft toys for children, adults, and elders.

We believe conversation is how people connect, learn, and feel understood. Yet as technology has evolved, genuine dialogue has quietly declined.

At anosa.ai, we blend advanced voice AI with comforting, expressive characters to nurture curiosity, support learning, and help people feel connected across generations.

Our mission is simple:

To make technology feel more human - one conversation at a time.

Benefits

Why Choose Us

Safety First

We design with care. Your child’s safety and privacy come before everything. All interactions are secure, child-appropriate, and transparent to parents.

Technology with Purpose

We use cutting-edge AI to empower children’s learning - not for profit, but for progress. We bring the latest innovations to where they matter most: at home, in play.

Curiosity-Driven Learning

We believe curiosity is the root of all growth. Our products are built to spark wonder, invite questions, and help children explore the world in their own way.

Human Connection Always Comes First

Technology should support families, not replace them. Our toys are designed to encourage more real conversations between kids and parents, not less.

Play is Powerful

We honor the magic of play. It’s how children learn best - when they’re laughing, exploring, and fully engaged. We build tools that keep that magic alive.

AI with Integrity

We believe in ethical AI - transparent, inclusive, and safe. We’re committed to responsible design that puts families, not algorithms, in control.

Aska Kuwabara

Founder / CEO

Aska Kuwabara, Founder of anosa.ai, has spent nearly twenty years building and leading digital products across Asia, North America, and the Middle East. She has worked in finance, telecommunications, and e-commerce, helping global organizations turn complex technology into solutions that genuinely serve people.

Aska was exposed to the recent generative AI boom around 2022, when she became the Head of Applications at AI Singapore. She came to realization that as technology becomes more efficient, real human conversation is fading.

anosa.ai was created in response to that insight.

The company develops AI-driven character companions that support children, adults, and elders through warm, natural, and human-centric dialogue. By combining advanced voice AI with approachable character design, anosa.ai aims to make technology feel more supportive, more intuitive, and more human.
