【Development of an AI-Based Mold Forecasting System Integrating Meteorological and Building Data】
Hokari Hideki is a mold-prevention specialist and the founder of Haezrich Inc., a company that has supported more than 10,000 households and buildings struggling with mold issues and completed over 5,000 professional remediation projects across Japan.
After completing graduate school, he joined a mid-sized construction company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market, where he worked in construction management for condominium and commercial facility projects, and later served as site manager for a new farmers’ market development.
He then moved into developer-affiliated property management. During that period, his father suffered fatal pneumonia caused by indoor mold. Despite searching nationwide, he could not find a reliable mold-removal company—leading him to conduct the remediation himself.
This experience fundamentally changed his career trajectory.
Determined to ensure that no one else would lose their home, treasured belongings, or loved ones to mold, he founded Haezrich Inc. in 2014. Since then, he has dedicated himself to advancing mold-prevention technology, on-site remediation, and public awareness.
