The event was officiated in the presence of key government stakeholders and supporting agencies, including the Board of Investment of Thailand (BOI), Eastern Economic Corridor Office (EEC), Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT), Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), as well as strategic partner AMATA.
The expo underscores DayOne's growing commitment to Thailand, where the company is developing the country's first 1GW digital infrastructure platform. DayOne first entered Thailand with a US$1 billion investment commitment, followed by the groundbreaking of its Chonburi Tech Park Data Center Campus in 2025. The development is progressing toward a multi-phase rollout, with more than 100MW of IT capacity expected to go live in 2026, and renewable energy integration beginning in 2027 through collaboration with Amata B.Grimm Renewable Energy Company Limited (AMBRE) and PEA.
Speaking at the event, Jamie Khoo, Chief Executive Officer of DayOne, emphasized the importance of aligning infrastructure development with talent and ecosystem growth. "As we move from one wave of technology to another, from traditional systems to cloud and now AI, what remains constant is the need for people with the right skills and mindset to build the economy of the future. Thailand is an important part of our regional journey, and we see strong opportunities to develop not only infrastructure, but also the talent and capabilities that will support the next phase of digital growth," she said, adding that DayOne is committed to working closely with government and universities to create pathways for young talent to participate in this transformation.
She noted that while each technological shift has historically brought concerns about job displacement, it has also created new roles and industries. "Every wave of technology brings change, but it also creates new opportunities. AI is no different. The key is to continue learning, adapt, and embrace the changes ahead," she added.
At a national level, digital infrastructure investment is also accelerating broader economic transformation. Narit Therdsteerasukdi, Secretary General of the Board of Investment of Thailand (BOI), highlighted the broader economic impact of digital infrastructure investments. "This event demonstrates what the digital economy looks like in practice — not just investment, but jobs, skills, and opportunities for Thai people. Data center development is driving a structural transformation of Thailand's economy, creating value across construction, engineering, renewable energy, and operations, while strengthening local supply chains and long-term talent development," he said.
As AI-driven demand for data centers continues to grow, the infrastructure supporting it must evolve in parallel — particularly in how energy is generated, managed, and optimized.
Mr. Warit Rattanachuen, Deputy Governor, Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), said this transformation is creating new opportunities. "As digital infrastructure scales, energy systems must evolve alongside it. Data centers require new approaches to energy efficiency, renewable integration, water management, and system optimization, creating opportunities not only in technology, but across the broader ecosystem, including engineering, materials, and financial innovation," he said.
In addition to industry discussions and career engagement, the expo featured dedicated data center modules that provided participants with a practical understanding of the infrastructure supporting cloud and AI technologies. The event also showcased AI project demonstrations by leading universities, highlighting applications in robotics, computer vision, and digital learning platforms, and reinforcing the importance of academia-industry collaboration in developing future-ready talent.
As part of its long-term commitment to talent development, DayOne also introduced its talent initiatives in Thailand, including the DayOne internship program and the graduate program. Designed to provide early exposure, hands-on experience, and accelerated career pathways, these programs aim to build a strong pipeline of talent to support Thailand's growing digital infrastructure and AI ecosystem.
The DayOne Tech & AI Career Expo marks the first in a planned series of regional initiatives, reflecting DayOne's broader strategy to develop talent and digital infrastructure ecosystems across the region. By bringing together stakeholders across government, industry, and academia, the platform aims to support Thailand's ambition to strengthen its position as a leading regional hub for digital infrastructure and AI.

TOKYO, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Anime Kagurabachi, based on a next-generation flagship title from Weekly Shonen Jump, has announced that Tomokazu Seki has been cast as Kunishige Rokuhira. Alongside this announcement, a new character visual, trailer and comments from Seki have also been unveiled.
Kagurabachi (Original Author: Takeru Hokazono), currently serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump, has surpassed a cumulative circulation of 4 million copies.
A stellar team of creators has been assembled for the project. Production will be handled by CyberAgent group company animation studio, Cypic (Umamusume: Cinderella Gray, The Summer Hikaru Died), the anime boasts an all-star staff, including Director Tetsuya Takeuchi (Action Animation Director on Sword Art Online II, Battle Scene Storyboards/Episode Director/Animation Director on Heavenly Delusion) and Character Designer Keigo Sasaki (Blue Exorcist, The Seven Deadly Sins). The protagonist, Chihiro Rokuhira, is voiced by Taihi Kimura, winner of the Best New Actor award at the 2025 Seiyu Awards.
Tomokazu Seki Cast as Kunishige Rokuhira!
Tomokazu Seki will play Kunishige Rokuhira, the father of Chihiro Rokuhira. To commemorate the announcement, comments have arrived from Seki.
Full Comments from Tomokazu Seki:
Q. What are your impressions of the character you voice, and what did you keep in mind while voicing them?
Kunishige Rokuhira is a legendary swordsmith, but at the same time, he is also a warmhearted father. I voiced the role with the aim of conveying the charm of both of those sides naturally. I would be happy if viewers could feel the bright and fun nature of his everyday humorous side, as well as the weight behind every single word in the scenes where he speaks of his convictions as a swordsmith.
Q. How did you feel when you were cast, and what are your thoughts on the anime?
I was truly happy when I got the role of Kunishige Rokuhira. Kagurabachi is a series loved by so many fans, and Kunishige is an important presence in the story. I'm doing my best to convey the manga's passion and the feelings of the characters in a way that only anime can.
Q. What were your thoughts when you first read the manga?
When I first read the manga, my impression was, "This is such a passionate series!" Not only does it have powerful action scenes, but emotions like resolve, loss, and revenge are also depicted with real depth, and I was drawn in immediately. It also has unique worldbuilding, making it the kind of series where you keep wanting to know what happens next.
Q. What is Kunishige's greatest charm?
I think Kunishige's charm lies in the strength with which he upholds his convictions, as well as his ability to love deeply. I'm also the type of person who throws myself completely into the things I love, so I may relate to him a little in that sense.
Q. How would you describe the appeal of the series in one phrase?
"A spirit passed down."
Kunishige Rokuhira Character Visual & Trailer Unveiled!
