KEIF  /  Company  /  Team

Built across Japan and Taiwan

Uniform planning and client contact are in Fukuoka. For materials, we work directly with a fabric maker in Taiwan, without a trading company in between. Sewing is done at partner factories, and finishing by a partner factory in Japan. We work directly so that we can answer "who made it, and where" in our own words.

Core members

Planning and records — each has an owner. With no one in between, the person who visits you can make decisions on the spot, from first consultation to specifications.

CEOShinichi HasegawaRepresentative Director
Shinichi Hasegawa

He has worked on the uniform factory floor from planning to finishing. As producer of the medical wear brand sukui, he made hemp scrubs and has run repeated trials recording product data on a blockchain. KEIF, founded in July 2026, is the next step.

Uniforms are where the challenges of HR, communications, operations and procurement meet. As someone who runs a company himself, he understands business strategy in management terms and translates it into the specification of what people wear — which is increasingly why clients come to him.

Hideki ShodaTechnology Advisor
Representative Director & CEO, chaintope Inc.

Founder of chaintope (Iizuka, Fukuoka), the developer of the Tapyrus public blockchain. He has put record systems into real-world use in local government, finance and energy — systems that make it possible to check that records have not been changed.

At KEIF he leads all recording technology: how DPPs are issued, and how they are kept in a form that can be checked. That design is decided here.
