Digital Entertainment Asset Co., Ltd. and SAKIGAKE JAPAN Co., Ltd. have entered into a strategic partnership to preserve and share Japan’s disaster prevention knowledge with the world by combining gamification and AI technologies.
The collaboration will use DEA’s ability to collect data through citizen participation and SAKIGAKE JAPAN’s AI-based capabilities to organize and distribute information globally. Through DEA’s social contribution game ‘PicTrée,’ the upcoming ‘PicTrée Disaster Prevention Championship 2026,’ and the ‘Local Secret Agent’ population platform, the companies will gather disaster experiences and preparedness knowledge from communities across Japan.
SAKIGAKE JAPAN will analyze and structure this information using AI, while both companies will work on developing intellectual property content such as disaster prevention knowledge cards.

As climate change ramps up the severity of natural disasters, those local, real life experiences and evacuation know how start to fade, and with that the whole understanding can slip away over time. The partnership wants to take that diminishing knowledge and turn it into something more organized, like a structured library, so communities everywhere can actually use it, not just remember it.
This work is planned in phases, first with data collection and card creation in 2026, then with content development, publishing and commercialization starting in 2027. Farther down the line, the companies are aiming at AI led disaster prevention solutions, which they say can be rolled out globally and picked up across regions.
