How long has LINE been here?
Since 2011. Takeshi Morimoto studied computer science at Waseda University and spent six years as a mobile software engineer at a mid-sized Tokyo firm building internal communication tools for logistics companies. He joined the LINE platform team in 2016, working on the group chat infrastructure that handles high-volume message delivery during national holidays, when traffic spikes sharply. He left in 2022 to run upperthornhaven.com, an independent information resource about LINE for everyday users. He lives in Nerima, Tokyo, and takes the Seibu Ikebukuro line to his local library most Saturday mornings.
