The company began with telephone equipment
Fujitsu started as Fusi Tsushinki Seizo K.K., formed from Fuji Electric's communications business. It moved to its own Kawasaki plant in 1938. The company listed in Tokyo in 1949 and introduced the FACOM100 relay computer in 1954.
The Fujitsu name followed the original telecommunications business
The company adopted the Fujitsu Limited name in 1967. Today the group includes Fujitsu and its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates. Its headquarters remain in Kanagawa, with shares listed on the Tokyo and Nagoya exchanges.
Cohere is a model-development partner
Takane launched on 30 September 2024. Fujitsu and Cohere jointly developed it from Command R+, with additional Japanese training. Fujitsu became its exclusive global supplier and integrated it into Kozuchi and Data Intelligence PaaS.
Fugaku-LLM came from a multi-organization research project
The May 2024 release credits Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tohoku University, Fujitsu, RIKEN, Nagoya University, CyberAgent and Kotoba Technologies. The team adapted distributed training software for the Fugaku supercomputer. The model is a shared research result, not a Takane checkpoint.
Kozuchi combines models with other AI technology
Fujitsu's current technology library separates Takane from Kozuchi. Takane is a business language model. Kozuchi combines generative AI, predictive tools, AI agents and physical AI. These platform components do not establish additional named language-model releases.
This catalog uses documented release names
Practical guidance. Takane remains one unversioned model record here. Numbered roadmap milestones and customer-specific compressed models are not treated as released checkpoints without a named release and access evidence. The two Fugaku-LLM records retain the consortium's authorship and terms.
