Yu Murakami founded New York General Group, Inc. and the Murakami Foundation, where he leads business operations and research and development.

He became interested in computers at the age of seven and has independently studied computer science and mathematics for more than 20 years. His principal areas of interest are artificial intelligence and category theory. Believing that category theory offers the optimal approach to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), he invented Categorical AI.

​

Categorical AI has outperformed large language models such as GPT-5.1 and Claude Opus 4.5 across various benchmarks, as detailed in its technical report. It has also produced significant results in connection with the artificial intelligence technology entitled “高次元微分演算子を計算するための確率的テンソル縮約ネットワーク（特願2025-046150）, for which the Japan Patent Office issued a decision to grant a patent. Categorical AI played a central role in the invention. This represents the first case in Japan in which a patent was approved for “artificial intelligence invented by artificial intelligence.”

​

His principal inventions also include: 高次元微分演算子を計算するための確率的テンソル縮約ネットワーク（特願2025-046150・特許7734902、出願人：New York General Group, Inc.、発明者：村上 由宇、経過：特許取得）・マルチモーダル知識融合による適応的反射型神経記号システム（特願2025-077682、出願人：New York General Group, Inc.、発明者：村上 由宇）・マルチモーダル理解に基づく適応型分散圧縮システム（特願2025-079077）・階層的適応型確率的情報顕在化機構を活用した多目的最適化部分観測マルコフ決定過程システム（特願2025-079078、出願人：New York General Group, Inc.、発明者：村上 由宇）・階層的集約を用いた金融市場予測のためのマルチモーダルシステム及び方法（特願2025-046388・特許7812531、出願人：New York General Group, Inc.、発明者：村上 由宇、経過：特許取得）・高頻度取引のための適応型インテリジェンスシステム（特願2025-042975、出願人：New York General Group, Inc.、発明者：村上 由宇）・温度制御型エネルギー増幅機能を有する二次元/三次元ハイブリッド半導体構造及びその応用（特願2025-069364・特許7733347、出願人：New York General Group, Inc.、発明者：村上 由宇、経過：特許取得）・動的再構成による相関復号量子コンピュータ（特願2025-057408・特許7749274、出願人：New York General Group, Inc.、発明者：村上 由宇、経過：特許取得）・特定の疾患や細胞環境に合わせた有望な医薬品候補分子を生成するための新しい人工知能システム（特願2025-050843・特許7765795、出願人：New York General Group, Inc.、発明者：村上 由宇、経過：特許取得）・アニオン欠陥を有するバリウム-ケイ素オルトシリケート系オキシニトリド-ハイドライドの構造制御による高機能触媒及びその多元的応用方法（特願2025-080156、出願人：New York General Group, Inc.、発明者；村上 由宇）・トカマク型核融合炉用適応型エッジ局在3D磁場制御システム（特願2025-057034・特許7773161、出願人：New York General Group, Inc.、発明者：村上 由宇、経過：特許取得）・ハイブリッド変換器-マンバアーキテクチャを用いた高効率長文脈処理衛星システム（特願2025-067325・特許7866164、出願人：New York General Group, Inc.、発明者：村上 由宇、経過：特許取得）. These patents constitute a portfolio of world-class technologies. Papers published by leading journals and conferences—including the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, Nature, Neural Information Processing Systems, the American Chemical Society, the American Physical Society’s Physical Review Letters, and the International Conference on Learning Representations—as well as patents held by globally renowned universities and corporations, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, International Business Machines Corporation, and Harvard University, have been cited as prior art. The inventions were found to be novel over such prior art and were subsequently approved for patent protection. They have also been cited in patents held by major international corporations and research institutions, including China Telecom, Inspur, and the Academy of Military Science.

​

Murakami is also a member of organizations including the American Mathematical Society and the American Physical Society, through which he continues to study the mathematics and physics underlying his inventions.

​

After graduating from Keio University, he began his career at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). While at university, he participated in internships at organizations including PwC and Bain & Company, experiences that sparked his interest in business and finance. He subsequently founded New York General Group, Inc. and the Murakami Foundation in the United States.

​

New York General Group, Inc. and the Murakami Foundation have since been consolidated, with the former holding 100% of the latter’s equity. Within five years of its establishment, New York General Group, Inc. became one of the world’s largest asset and intellectual-property management companies, with consolidated group assets exceeding US$500 billion. These assets consist of Categorical AI, invented by Murakami, and an extensive portfolio of intellectual property generated through it in fields including artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing, biotechnology, chemistry, pharmaceuticals and life sciences, energy, and aerospace. The intellectual property is managed by the Murakami Foundation within New York General Group. The valuation of these assets was based on calculations performed using GPT-4 and GPT-4o, together with opinions provided by independent experts, including qualified institutional investors and Ph.D.-level specialists in the relevant fields. The valuation report was also submitted to U.S. regulatory authorities. Material matters relating to the process were stated in the Certificate of Incorporation and have been reviewed and approved. SEC filings and IRS tax forms are currently being prepared.

 

New York General Group, Inc. is also registered in Japan under Corporate Number 4800-03-001744, with stated capital of US$10 million. Yu Murakami currently serves as its representative.

​

He also has experience completing an exit in the United States through the M&A sale—by means of a share-transfer agreement—to a qualified institutional investor of a holding company possessing patent portfolios in artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and quantum computing.

​

He conducts fund-related activities in the capacities of an Accredited Investor (17 C.F.R. § 230.501(a)(5))・Geeignete Gegenpartei (Gesetz über den Wertpapierhandel (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz – WpHG) § 67 Kunden; Verordnungsermächtigung Absatz 2 Nummer 2)・Professional Investor (Securities and Futures Rules, Cap. 571D Cap. 571D §3(c))・適格機関投資家（金融商品取引法第二条に規定する定義に関する内閣府令第十条二十三イ、適格機関投資家の届出を金融庁長官に行った者）.

​

He currently participates, as a qualified institutional investor, in a fund originating from Kyushu University. He has also co-founded a pharmaceutical and food company with Professor Emeritus Takehiko Fujino of Kyushu University and others, and serves as its Chief Executive Officer, with responsibility for formulating its management strategy.

​

Murakami is currently engaged in a broad range of activities extending beyond artificial-intelligence research and development. These include research and development in nuclear fusion, quantum computing, rockets and satellites, and semiconductors; pharmaceutical research and development conducted in partnership with Reoken; and regional revitalization initiatives undertaken in partnership with the Tsujita Group.
