ABOUT KOTOBAY

A little place for words.

For the sentence you want to find, the idea you want to save, and the video you would rather read.

An imagined pixel-art office in crimson: desks with old computers, coffee, plants and filing cabinets, a window onto the sea, and the Kotobay ninja at the shared workbench.
