Kotaro Kitamura is the founder and CEO of TechBridge Inc., a WordPress maintenance company based in Osaka, Japan.

Before starting TechBridge, Kotaro built his career in sales and business development. Today, he combines that experience with WordPress maintenance to help clients feel confident and supported.

He was a speaker at WordCamp Asia 2026 and enjoys bringing people together by organizing casual networking events for engineers and designers in Japan.

Kotaro believes that technical expertise is essential, but trust, communication, and genuine human connections are what create lasting client relationships.

For him, many of the best opportunities in WordPress begin with conversations, not code.
