Company profile
researched Aug 2026株式会社ノーコード総合研究所 (Nocode Research Institute) is a Kyoto-based contract software development company specializing in no-code development, primarily with the Bubble platform. It builds web applications and business systems and provides ongoing operation and maintenance, positioning itself as able to deliver in roughly one third of the time and cost of conventional development, and up to about one tenth of typical cost when public subsidies are applied. The company describes itself as one of Japan's largest no-code development firms and states it is an official Bubble agency (代理店), with its founder among Japan's certified Bubble developers.
The business spans five lines: no-code development solutions (new-business PoC development in as little as two weeks, low-cost in-house DX and operational apps, and project accompaniment bridging management, front-line staff and developers); an AI solutions business (LLM-based product development support, rapid PoC and prototyping, and full AI system construction/internalization support); a community business (a practice-oriented learning community, online and offline); a no-code school business (project-based curriculum with practicing developers as mentors, aimed at side work, career change and freelance project acquisition); and corporate training (workshops, "in-house development leader" development, and support for reskilling subsidies). Reported delivery categories include EC sites, SNS services, native apps, CRM, project management, HR management and internal communication systems.
The company was previously named 株式会社Earlywolf and changed to its current name in August 2024, relaunching its website on 1 September 2024. Its registered corporate number is 7011003017437.
Founding story
Founder and representative director Taiga Ishii, a student entrepreneur enrolled at Kyoto University, began contract development after encountering Bubble in December 2021 and went on to work on more than 100 service builds over roughly four years. He runs the official Bubble Japan Community and the YouTube channel "アプリ開発ゼミ with Bubble", and was the 12th person in Japan to pass Bubble's official "Bubble Developer Certification". The company is described as a Kyoto University-originated startup.
Business model
Fee-based contract development of web applications and business systems using no-code tools, complemented by operation and maintenance, AI implementation support, subsidy application agency work bundled with development, a paid no-code school, a learning community and corporate training programs.
Project-based development fees—stated as typically JPY 1,000,000–5,000,000 with 1–3 month timelines for Bubble projects—plus maintenance and accompaniment support, training and school tuition, and subsidy-application support bundled with delivery.
Traction
More than 100 web system and app development projects delivered, per the company site; examples include a job-hunting site for Kyoto University students built in 10 days, an antique-dealer CRM system, a pachinko store management service, a high school portal service, an additive- and pesticide-free restaurant search platform (two weeks) and a Bubble development estimate simulator (two weeks). Headcount is stated at 120 including contractors, with capital of JPY 16,000,000 including capital reserve.

Market position
Positions itself as a no-code-specialized contract development firm and one of the largest no-code development companies in Japan, citing the highest number of Bubble official certification holders domestically and official Bubble agency status; recognized by Bubble in June 2025 as a top Japanese company by development capability.
Specialization in Bubble with official agency status and staff trained in-house, claimed leadership in the number of Bubble certification holders in Japan, delivery in about one third of conventional time and cost, subsidy application support that can cut costs further, and an integrated offer spanning strategy, development, marketing, training and community.
Technology
No-code and low-code platforms, chiefly Bubble (hosted on AWS), together with the no-code AI tool Dify and LLM-based development for AI products, agents and prototypes. Company materials note Bubble constraints including limited SEO, page-load speed ceilings, difficulty with very large-scale processing, no infrastructure control and no code export.
Go-to-market
Inbound lead generation via its website (a one-minute pricing simulator, downloadable materials and free executive-level web consultations), content marketing through a blog and the YouTube channel, monthly free webinars, press releases via PR TIMES, the Bubble Japan Community, and partnerships such as the joint package with ENロジカル.
Small and medium-sized enterprises and startups with limited resources, corporate new-business and DX teams seeking to internalize development, and individuals seeking no-code skills for side work, career change or freelance projects.
Geography
Headquartered in Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto, with a second Kyoto office in Hyakumanben (Sakyo-ku); earlier releases listed a Tokyo address in Jingumae, Shibuya. Operations and clients are in Japan.
History
Representative director Taiga Ishii encountered the no-code tool Bubble in December 2021 and began contract development. The company was established in August 2023 under the name Earlywolf, renamed 株式会社ノーコード総合研究所 in August 2024 and relaunched its website on 1 September 2024. In October 2024 it announced an investment from Skyland Ventures. Subsequent launches included a Dify-based AI app development offering and the Dify College training program (2025), a bundled subsidy-application-plus-development service (June 2025), a CRM development package (June 2025), a joint "AI agent in-house development" package with ENロジカル (February 2026) and publication of a Bubble textbook (June 2026).
Risks & controversies
Dependence on the Bubble platform, whose acknowledged limitations include weak SEO, page-load speed limits, constrained capacity for large-scale services, no infrastructure access and no code export; the company also notes that lax developer configuration can lead to information leakage.
