About the Founder – TAICHI
The founder of House of NOMA is an internationally active film director and producer whose practice spans film, music, and cultural diplomacy.
Born in Japan, his work has developed across the United States and Europe, with ongoing bases in the United Kingdom and France. His career has consistently operated within international
production environments rather than within a single national or corporate framework.
His professional foundation was formed through large-scale commercial film production. He has been involved in the creation of over 500 broadcast television
commercials for approximately 400 leading publicly listed corporations in Japan, many of them global enterprises, working across senior creative, production, and executive roles depending on each
project. Alongside this work, he has planned and directed international advertising films that established industry benchmarks and continue to be referenced within global fashion and cultural
contexts.
He later expanded into theatrical filmmaking and international co-productions, taking central roles in more than 60 feature-length film projects screened
domestically and internationally. His involvement has been structural rather than peripheral, operating at the core of production architectures and decision-making processes.
In 2023, a structure he designed received an award at Cannes NEXT, an official program of the Cannes Film Festival. The recognition was not for a single work, but
for a newly proposed production and distribution system that signaled the emergence of a new industry model beyond existing formats.
House of NOMA was established not as a conventional company, but as a fully independent, highly decentralized operating structure. It functions through fine-grained
division of roles and autonomous collaboration, optimized for international creative production. While it approaches the characteristics of a DAO, it does not define itself as one, as human
evaluation and governance have not yet been fully automated.
Within this distributed framework, the founder operates as the primary architect of the system rather than as a corporate executive. All initiatives associated with
NOMA, including CANNES GALA, officially recognized by the Cannes Film Festival and the Marché du Film, and AXLR8-G, an officially recognized GRAMMY Awards acceleration program, are designed and
coordinated through this structure. The fact that internationally sanctioned platforms in both film and music are operated within a single distributed framework represents an unprecedented
configuration.
Today, House of NOMA operates with members across 26 countries, functioning as a living, non-corporate apparatus that integrates film, music, and cultural diplomacy
through execution rather than hierarchy.
House of NOMA is not a personal brand.
It is an apparatus constructed through distributed design and collective execution.
