EAGLYS CEO Hiroki Imamura to Enhance Mihara City with AI



On May 15, 2025, EAGLYS Corporation announced that its CEO, Hiroki Imamura, has taken on the role of AI Coordinator for Mihara City, Hiroshima. This collaboration aims to leverage AI technologies for city improvement and innovation. Mihara City, under the leadership of Mayor Yoshihiro Okada, has been actively pursuing the integration of digital platforms, co-creation with innovation coordinators, and the application of AI technologies.

The rapid evolution of AI technology presents an opportunity for local governments to improve operational efficiency and enhance citizen services. Mihara City has taken significant steps in this area, having implemented generative AI services across all its employees. Within just six months, the city has successfully reduced approximately 2,000 hours of work time. This freed time can now be dedicated to policy planning and intellectual production, ultimately increasing citizen satisfaction and service quality.

However, as the demand for further AI utilization grows, it becomes increasingly challenging for non-expert city staff to keep up with the latest developments in AI while managing daily tasks. Recognizing this issue, Mihara City has identified the need for external expertise in AI technology and knowledge. Through collaboration with Chihiro Yoshida, the City Innovation Coordinator from ABeam Consulting, EAGLYS and Mihara City realized this synergy. Imamura's willingness to contribute his technical skills and knowledge to local governance made his appointment as Mihara City's first AI Coordinator a natural fit.

This fiscal year, the agenda includes conducting training sessions about AI technology, its potential risks, and its applications within the city to foster a deeper understanding among staff members. Looking ahead to the next fiscal year, activities are planned to facilitate service implementation discussions between businesses and the city, bridging the gap to ensure comprehensive adoption of AI technologies.

Role of the AI Coordinator


Term: May 1, 2025 – March 31, 2026
Main Responsibilities:
1. Analyzing the latest trends in AI technology and providing information on case studies.
2. Advising on the applicability of AI technologies within local governments.
3. Supporting training initiatives to improve AI literacy among city staff and assist in AI application workshops.
4. Introducing case studies of AI applications to local businesses.

The collaboration showcases not only an advancement in local governance but also reflects a broader trend toward integrating advanced technologies in everyday operations.
