About Studio Kobune
A journey that began with friendship, guided by the philosophy of the small boat.
The Beginning
After more than 8 years creating WordPress plugins with a friend, I wanted to start my own adventure. Studio Kobune was born from a desire to craft genuine products that bring value to all users, whether they choose our free or premium offerings.
The name "Kobune" means "small boat" in Japanese. It represents the spirit of adventure while serving as a constant reminder to stay humble on this journey. Just like a small boat navigating vast waters, we believe in steady progress, careful attention to detail, and respect for the journey itself.
Philosophy & Values
Genuine Value
Every plugin is crafted with the user's needs at heart, delivering real solutions to real problems.
Quality for All
Both free and premium users deserve excellence. We never compromise on quality, regardless of price point.
Humble Growth
Like the kobune, we navigate with humility, learning from every wave and wind.
About the Captain
I'm a French front-end developer who has called Japan home for the last 8 years. This unique cultural journey has shaped my approach to development—blending French creativity with Japanese attention to detail and craftsmanship.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring the Japanese countryside with my camera, crafting leather goods with my hands, or enjoying the great outdoors. These hobbies teach me patience, precision, and the value of creating something beautiful that lasts.
