Messages from the Management

Aligned with our mission to “uplift the world with ‘memory,’” Kioxia has supported the rapid evolution of the digital society by providing its essential foundation as a leading company in flash memory and SSDs, delivering value to people worldwide.

The name “Kioxia” reflects our strong commitment to capturing, preserving, and harnessing this “memory” to create new value and enrich lives around the world.

As AI continues to underpin the advancement of society, its applications are expanding from generative AI to agent-based and physical AI, while the use of data is becoming increasingly diverse and sophisticated. Building on our strengths in technology development capabilities, manufacturing scale, and customer engagement, Kioxia will continue to refine these core strengths to unlock the full potential of “memory” and create new value for society.

As a corporate group supporting transformation through AI, we remain committed to helping resolve increasingly complex social challenges while pursuing sustainable mid- to long-term growth.

Together, we have an exciting journey ahead.

Hiroo Oota
President and CEO
Kioxia Holdings Corporation

We have always been at the forefront of the memory industry and as such, we have accomplished many firsts. As the inventor of NAND flash memory and a world leader in the memory field, our customers place an incredible amount of trust in us.

They see us as consistent drivers of innovation, which we are able to do because of our ability to respond to ever-evolving business environments and market needs, our talented workforce and our state-of-the-art flash memory facilities.

Looking ahead, the future will bring many new challenges. Global society is becoming ever more complex, connected and borderless in the face of technological innovation. There is a tremendous amount of data being generated, analyzed and stored.

Capitalizing on our central position in this dynamic environment, we must build on our history as we started our journey as an independent company that can meet the memory demands of the future. That journey led us to becoming a publicly traded company in 2024.

I am delighted that our company marks both our evolution as well as the dawn of a new era of memory. We are Kioxia, a combination of the Japanese word kioku (memory) and the Greek word axia (value).

I look forward to collaborating with you as Kioxia—together we will enable new technologies to uplift the world with memory.

Executive Chairman
