I’m Matt Ketchum, a Tokyo-based consultant and cultural strategist with a passion for blending technology, real estate, and entertainment to create unique, high-impact solutions. Through my work with businesses and creative projects in Japan and the U.S., I bring an unconventional approach to advisory—one rooted in cultural insight, immersive experience, and forward-thinking strategies. Founder of MKUltraman, I specialize in guiding clients to break out of their comfort zones, reimagine their potential, and achieve real growth.

When I’m not consulting, you’ll find me in the Japanese countryside exploring akiya (vacant properties) through Akiyaz, supporting underground music with Kaala, or working on innovative community projects like Digital Springs. Driven by curiosity and a passion for discovery, I’m constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in business and beyond.
