Wunderbar Secures Debt Financing from Japan Finance Corporation and Shizuoka Bank

Wunderbar Inc. (formerly Skettt Inc., renamed in September 2026), a Shibuya, Tokyo-based startup, has obtained debt financing from Japan Finance Corporation and Shizuoka Bank. The funding date is September 1, 2026. The amount and lead investor were not disclosed.

Led by CEO Keito Nagao, Wunderbar operates Skettt, an IP marketing platform that allows companies to use pre-cleared celebrity promotional materials on a subscription basis. The platform is backed by partnerships with over 150 talent agencies, covering more than 5,000 talents. The company claims a 95%+ supply-side share in talent material-usage services.

Since 2026, Wunderbar has been extending its platform from talent IP into anime, character, and manga IP, leveraging accumulated data and AI for IP selection, planning, and creative support.

The debt financing will likely support these expansion efforts, though specific use of funds was not detailed.
