Visual Bank positions itself as an "IP x AI Enabler," combining rights-cleared visual content and AI to support creators and the IP industry. Its core products include Visual Library (the inherited Amana Image stock-photo business), Qlean Dataset (rights-cleared AI training datasets), and THE PEN, an AI-assisted tool for manga creators run via a subsidiary. The company leads a government-supported GENIAC project with Japan's METI and NEDO to build a next-generation data library tailored to the domestic IP sector. Visual Bank plans to use new funds to accelerate THE PEN product development, expand IP×AI services derived from the data library, pursue strategic M&A, and recruit core talent. Financially, it completed a Series B equity round of approximately ¥1.1 billion; the company was founded in April 2022 after acquiring Amana Image and previously executed fundraising totalling ¥2.1 billion at founding. Visual Bank leverages rights-processing, data-structuring, and large-scale data management capabilities to enable coexistence between IP holders and AI.
