Welcome to MKUltraman: Unleashing Innovation and Creativity
Welcome, wayward traveler, to the vast and eclectic world of me, Matt Ketchum, aka MKUltraman.
Here, innovative solutions, persistent creativity, and non-standard strategic visions converge in a singularity of strangely compelling practices. My personal and professional journeys merged long ago, embracing a relentless pursuit of fringe experiences & cultures worth exploring.
Technology
With modern technologies, I often find myself spearheading initiatives to bring groundbreaking solutions to the masses. My expertise in blockchain project management, AI implementations, and web design puts me in a useful position to quickly ideate and execute on innovations. I’ve lead teams through complex projects as much as I have solo’d market development, always with an eye on future trends and practical applications.
Real Estate
With Akiyaz, I have been researching, advising, and assisting rural real estate acquisition in Japan for over 7 years. The opportunities outside of Japan’s major metro areas is staggering, from personal property to communal ryokan, and so much more.
Through Digital Springs, I delve into the untapped potential of Japan’s rural real estate and bleeding edge IT. My efforts combine passion with practicality, shaping a new vision for rural real estate through the vetting of vacant properties and countryside communities. My main goal is to efficiently breathe new life into these regions, advocating for sustainable development and modern living solutions.
Entertainment
Independent music is what got me here in the first place, and the blood of the scene pulses through my veins. I coordinate streams, events, and festivals that celebrate the diversity and depth of underground music through Kaala Music.
Through these musical efforts and more, I aim to bridge between cultures, highlighting the unique flavors of Japan’s music landscape to a global audience.
MKUltraman?
MKUltraman combines my initials, MK, with elements from the controversial MKUltra projects by the CIA in the 1960s. While those projects were infamous for their ethical breaches, they were also known for aggressively expanding perspectives. Paired with Ultraman, Japan’s iconic superhero, MKUltraman represents my mission to open minds with deep cultural insights into Japan.
Whether you’re pioneering new ventures, embracing innovation, or uncovering hidden treasures, I provide the expertise to navigate and succeed in Japan’s unique landscape.
