The Ketsujo Corporation is a conglomerate that focuses on the health and well being of the commonwealth, as well as personal interests and finances for the public. They have been known to take interest in specialized treatments and medicines that work for the general public, including those with quirks that may have resistances to certain cures. With recent absorbtion of other bussinesses, they have also begun to mass sell foods and produce in supermarkets and a few superstores. The corporation is one entity that operates under several names. Most of them tied to the proud Ketsujo family name.

The industry was founded in 1962 by Seijin Ketsujo as a small credit union under the name of "Ketsujo Funding".
In 1998 Seijin had passed down the company to his youngest son, Shinsei. The company was re-branded as "The Ketsujo Corporation" and had begun to advance into banking and loans.
In 2048 it was passed down to Sato Ketsujo, where the company took a heavy interest in heath and medical advancement. A board of members was founded, and Sato resumed as chairman.
In 2073 Sato Ketsujo had stepped down from his position, nearly vanishing from the public entirely. Hain Musei was elected the new Chairman of the board. Ketsujo Corp attempted to rebrand a "K-Corp" but later instead licences both names, reserving K-Corp as a shorthand of their true name.

Loan & Investments
The original purpose of the company, K-Corp had given loans to families for both homes and small businesses. The Ketsujo Funding Group's purpose was to put money in the hand of the common working man to provide new and fresh ideas on the market. It was their belief that having new business open up, would promote competition, and overall improve the goods for all of society. Often top investors, or high ranking members within the company have a unique gold pin of the company's logo. This is both a status of power within the corporation, as well as respect. After all, money makes the world go around.

Banks & Businesses
The newly renamed Ketsujo Corporation had taken a direction to seize ownership of failing businesses and sold them to much larger companies to make their money back. In other cases, they would buy out a business completely and allow the original owners to continue to operate it freely, K-Corp profiting, and the original owners able to work without worry of investment while still making money.

Produce, Farms & Supermarkets
With the fallout from failing business, the Ketsujo Corporation had begun to own and operate an variety of small stores. The most common shops were cafes, restaurants and liquor stores. By extending their reach to farms, they had begun the basis for cheap food, allowing them to operate all of their existing stores for an even lower investment. It wasn't soon after that these places were renamed and rebranded. K-Mart had become a success, and one of the main sources for supply for their other businesses. After all, who doesn't want to make their own cereal?

Novelties:
With their research on quirks Ketsujo Corp had taken an interest in public outlook on certain quirks and heroes, and had produced a line of collectibles, from figures, posters all the way to shoes and trading cards. While the card game HEROES is growing in popularity, some have been taking an interest in the few people to appear on cards who aren't as well known. Speculation has led a group of people thinking that they have supported crimes by monetizing these figures, but what is a Hero to do but fight villains? A game about heroes fighting each other wouldn't be a good game. Someone has to be the loser.

Medical Industry
Having a few clinics operate under Ketsujo Corp, Sato had taken a heavy personal interest. With the dozens of small clinics and the few larger private hospitals, he had begun to create uniform policies for all of them to operate. With the rise of quirks, he had begun to invest in research to properly access quirks, and quirk related injury. Some patients had begun to be categorized based on their quirk to ensure that any medical professional would be equipped with deal with any issues they may arise. Medicine has evolved, having less and less side effects, becoming more accessible with far less risks than ever before.

Quirk Advancement
While their focus isn't necessarily on making quirks stronger, it has been a byproduct of their research. K-Corp has taken time to learn how quirks function, as well as the main categories they can fall into. With this in mind, K-Corp strives for a world where learning about your quirk is as easy as reading a book from your local library. Any incident avoided from breaking a building with super strength, or lighting your house on fire when you get mad is a win in their book. No one wants to have that neighbor. Some programs and test groups have been started as voluntary study. All information is gathered, then distributed for free to the public. After all, if the people are safe, then the world is safer. The Ketsujo Corporation is here to help you make a better you.
