Kizuna Holdings Co., Ltd. and five affiliated companies received a bankruptcy proceeding commencement decision from the Osaka District Court on November 2, 2026, and were appointed as bankruptcy trustees. The court also granted permission to continue business operations and indicated its intention to continue the business succession to sponsor companies.
The Osaka District Court dismissed petitions for corporate reorganization proceedings filed by Kizuna Holdings Co., Ltd. and four affiliates and issued orders for provisional administration. Attorney Masaki Nogami was appointed provisional administrator. The provisional administration order for NPO Lien, which filed for bankruptcy, remains in effect.
This notice summarizes the Q&A from the creditor briefing held on June 25, 2026. It includes only matters considered appropriate to share with creditors and has been edited and summarized to avoid identifying questioners. The materials are available as a PDF through the link.
The company received from the petitioners’ counsel materials distributed at the creditor briefing held on June 25, 2026, and published them with a link. The materials outline the petition for commencement of corporate reorganization or bankruptcy proceedings and an explanation by the administrator. A summary of the Q&A is scheduled to be posted on the website later.
Kizuna Holdings Co., Ltd. filed a petition with the Osaka District Court to commence corporate reorganization proceedings on June 22, 2026. The court issued a preservation order the same day and appointed an administrator. The administrator now has exclusive authority over the company’s management and property, and a provisional order prohibiting repayment has also been issued. Related companies have likewise had administrators appointed.
Kizuna Holdings Co., Ltd.’s Type A continuous employment support facility will close today. The company thanks everyone for their relationship and wishes them success in the future. For inquiries, contact the public relations representative.
Kizuna Holdings Co., Ltd. apologizes to service users following reports that a user laid off after the revocation of a facility’s designation was mistakenly treated as involved in wrongdoing and refused admission by another provider. The company says it has not verified the reports, but stresses that neither users nor frontline staff committed misconduct. It asks for cooperation to ensure users are not disadvantaged and says it is working with government authorities to prioritize smooth transitions to other services.
Kizuna Holdings Co., Ltd. received notice that Osaka City would revoke the designation of the group companies operating the Type A continuous employment support facilities Lien Uchihonmachi, Liberara, Reve, and Mirrime. As a result, the company decided to close the facilities at the end of April 2026. The revocation takes effect on May 1, 2026.
Kizuna Holdings Co., Ltd. reported that media had covered facilities operated by its group companies and said the company had not issued the reports. It will promptly disclose any matters that it determines should be made public. Contact the public relations representative with inquiries.
Since November 2, some media outlets have reported on Type A continuous employment support facilities operated by the company’s group. The group says the facilities were operated appropriately under the national system and that it has been improving and strengthening its support based on advice and guidance from government agencies. It will maintain close communication with authorities and continue providing sincere, legally compliant support for the independence and employment of people with disabilities.
