Keisuke Nakamura
Born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, based in Inzai, Chiba. A software engineer and researcher at heart — but above all, a creator. Engineering is my means of creative expression: combining technical experience with a researcher's methodology, I am driven by the desire to make people smile and say "wow!" through everything I make.
My vision is to master AI as a tool and help build a future where people can live richly. A personal AI agent — one that exists for you alone, learns who you are, and works entirely in your interest — that dream is what led me to research at age 20, and I am still chasing it. Designing a future where humans and intelligent machines coexist in harmony: that is what K.N.Lab. is all about.
Master of Management and Information Science
Member, Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ)
Began software development under the name NCDS (Nakamura Computer Development Studio)
Discovered the joy of video editing through Adobe Premiere, bundled with a VAIO his mother splurged on.
B.S. in Management and Information Science, Hokkaido Information University
M.S. in Management and Information Science, Hokkaido Information University
Completed all required doctoral credits, Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, Hokkaido University. Founded K.N.Lab. and launched full-scale freelance activities.
Relocated to Tokyo and began basing activities there. Joined SALOP Inc. as an engineer, taking a central role in AI and related projects
Moved from Tokyo to Inzai, Chiba. Set up a dedicated workspace in the larger home and ramped up activities in smart home IoT, video production, and more.
Conducting cross-domain research and development centered on AI, spanning IoT and edge devices.
Engaged as an engineer in a chatbot R&D project for approximately 12 years. Led the design and development of chatbot development frameworks, with deep involvement across all aspects of dialogue system design and implementation.
Short-term research on VR application development technology and streaming video packet analysis.
Technical research on PDF parsing applications for a web printout service.
Performance testing of a localization module using next-generation wireless technology, evaluating indoor positioning accuracy.
Development of a digital cable distance meter for cable camera localization.
The culmination of personal agent research pursued since age 20. A long-standing effort to design and develop agent systems that support human intellectual activities, now realized as 'MAiD', a Neuro-Symbolic AI platform. Natural language processing is handled by AIML 2.0 via a self-implemented AIML engine (Python-based), while the reasoning core is powered by RAG and Web Ontology inference. Developing the Japanese dialogue agent 'MAHORO'. MAiD = Multi Agentic identity-Daemon; MAHORO = Memory-Aware Hybrid-Ontology Reflective Oracle.
Independently established a live streaming workflow connecting Hokkaido and Tokyo via phone call, routing and mixing audio and video in real time for YouTube broadcast.
Self-built IoT button devices triggered by ARP packets, deployed throughout the home with individual roles — controlling appliances, executing web services, and more. This smart home experiment laid the groundwork for later development of a home IoT security system.
Research and PoC development of a spatial recognition model using Intel RealSense Depth Camera. Explored spatial mapping and motion detection leveraging depth data.
Design, construction, and operation of a home IoT security system with sensor integration and notifications. Also includes AI speaker and lighting integration to deter intruders during extended absences. Looking ahead, the system is envisioned to connect with MAiD for agentic control of home appliances, enabling the agent to handle expanded skills such as home security.
Bachelor's thesis, Department of Management and Information Science, Hokkaido Information University. "Prototype of an Information Retrieval Agent Using Natural Language Processing: A Study on Natural Language-Based Information Access Technology"
Master's thesis, Graduate School of Management and Information Science, Hokkaido Information University. "Implementation of a Learning Material Reasoning Agent Based on Semantic Web Technology"
1 peer-reviewed journal article, 4 peer-reviewed international conference papers, and multiple domestic conference presentations. Member of IPSJ.
A record of software development since 1998.
Design and development of a web API for a smartphone application.
Contract development of a client management and data entry support system for a tax accounting office.
Design and implementation of a data warehouse module for a commercial management system.
Development of a password encryption module for an online supermarket customer management system.
Research on applying image recognition technology to an advertising video library, including PoC evaluation of celebrity face detection and identification.
Construction of a SIP-protocol-based intercom system using Raspberry Pi and 4GPi, with support for external call routing.
Design and construction of a load testing system for the backend of a chatbot service for the delivery industry, simulating high-concurrency web service conditions.
Engaged as PM and engineer in a chatbot development project leveraging LLM/RAG to answer queries based on internal FAQs and company documents.
Developed two inspection camera video capture applications: one that captures real-time video streamed over UDP, and another that captures video from UVC devices.
Contributed to the SDK development community for Pandorabots, the chatbot platform provided by US-based Pandorabots, Inc. From 2026, began releasing OSS tools built on years of hands-on experience: a PHP API client (pb-php, first released in 2014 with v2 arriving 12 years later in 2026), a deployment CLI (pb-migrate), and an interactive REPL (pb-talk).
Construction and operation of a self-hosted server environment on a low-power Raspberry Pi. Later expanded to serve as the central server of the IoT home security system, acting as a hub for sensors and connected devices.
A self-built smart lighting system integrated with a central server. Features automatic brightness control based on time of day and weather conditions, alongside a security mode that activates light and sound sequences to deter intruders — forming an intelligent layer of home defense. Side note: during development, the hallway was briefly turned into a full-on disco, much to the amusement of coworkers. Hence the GitHub bio: "Home rave architect 💡🌈".
Designed and built a home information display system showing weather, schedules, news, and more — inspired by the clean, always-on style of public transit signage. Packaged into a portable panel using a small display and Raspberry Pi. The concept traces back to an even earlier project: a "cat-ear clock" built to commemorate February 22, Nekomimi Day — a story that predates 2010.
Self-made game implemented in Visual Basic 6.0 during student years.
Bullet hell shooting game implemented in Visual Basic 6.0.
Self-built visual novel game engine that interprets a custom script language.
A text editor built during student years. A remake is planned as an AI Chatbot editor for the MAiD project.
Developed a set of Ajax applications integrated with Google Calendar and Google Docs. Used to dynamically display event schedules for a music event organization on a website limited to static hosting.
Video production, internet broadcasting, and contract work — a record of activities driven by human connections, and a continuing reflection on the right relationship between people and technology.
A blog covering maid cafés and subculture events, primarily in Sapporo. The connections made with fellow creators through this activity became the foundation for later work in video production, internet broadcasting, and beyond.
Planned development of a system for interacting with AI agents in VR space, as part of the MAiD project.
Short film series produced by returning to Hokkaido several times a year to film and edit. In 2019, filmed in Sapporo in collaboration with a professional narrator based in Tokyo.
Launched an internet video and audio broadcast service from a home server in 2003. Currently operating a remote live streaming system using YouTube, including remote broadcasts between Hokkaido and Tokyo.
