Overview of the agreement
| Name | Agreement on the Demonstration of Digital Content Creation Using Generative AI |
|---|---|
| Date signed | August 18, 2026 |
| Parties | Kita City, Tokyo, and Mavericks, Inc. |
| Purpose | To use a generative AI video creation tool to turn print materials and pages of the Kita City official website into video, so that information reaches residents in a clearer form |
| Scope | A demonstration of turning the city’s public relations materials and website content into video with the video generation AI NoLang |
Background of the agreement
Kita City has been working actively to improve its public services by streamlining operations, reducing the administrative workload on staff, and reforming how they work.
Against that background, the city looked at turning pamphlets, flyers, and website content into video as a way to make its communication with residents clearer. NoLang was chosen because it generates video from existing documents and materials without requiring specialized skills, and that led to this agreement. Using it as a starting point, the two parties will promote more efficient operations with generative AI, improve the quality of public services further, and work toward higher resident satisfaction.

The ceremony took place at the Kita City Office on August 18, 2026, attended by Shota Okuno, President and CEO of Mavericks.

Shota Okuno, President and CEO of Mavericks, commented: “We want to help Kita City work more efficiently and communicate more fully, so that city information and the appeal of Kita City reach as many people as possible.”
What comes next
Through the demonstration under this agreement, Mavericks will support the creation of video content that conveys city information and the appeal of Kita City, and work to make public communication clearer for residents. Mavericks will continue to contribute to more efficient operations and richer communication in the public sector, including local governments, through the generative AI technology it develops in house.
