Model Card
Sakana Namazu is a Japanese-specialized large language model from Tokyo-based Sakana AI, built on Moonshot AI's Kimi K2.6 and further tuned on Sakana's own data.
The tuning targets the nuances of Japanese language and business practice, including keigo honorifics, business customs, and everyday slang that general-purpose models often miss. Sakana AI reports the tuning also improves neutrality and factual accuracy on topics specific to Japan, while keeping reasoning, knowledge, and coding performance in line with the base model.
The API is OpenAI-compatible and ships with built-in web search and code execution tools, so it can be dropped into existing agent and chat integrations with minimal changes.
Sakana Namazu suits developers building Japanese-language products, such as customer support, business writing, and research or coding agents that need to work naturally in Japanese.
