.takamiya
Is .takamiya a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.takamiya is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Takamiya Co., Ltd..
A company-name TLD for one applicant's own use; no open registrations and no resale market to speak of.
the applicant company itself, for its own corporate sites and services; not available to outside buyers
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Same bet: a Japanese surname-derived corporate name with essentially no meaning or recognition outside Japan, applied for by a mid-size B2B manufacturer as the home of its own single corporate identity rather than as anything a market would ever search for.
Same bet in the same shape — a Japanese surname/place-name string carried by an industrial equipment maker putting its one corporate identity on it, with the string's value resting entirely on the company's own name recognition and nothing generic underneath.
Same kind of string and same kind of buyer (a Japanese family-name corporate brand owning its own namespace), but the bet is slightly different because it is a diversified group identity spanning many operating companies rather than one focused manufacturer's name.
What a .takamiya domain is
.takamiya is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Brand. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list.
Is the .takamiya domain extension real yet?
.takamiya is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. It is a string applicants have put forward in the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, the process that decides whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .takamiya domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .takamiya name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .takamiya was .hisamitsu, delegated on 2 June 2016.
Is .takamiya a real TLD?
Not yet. .takamiya is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .takamiya is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list of applied-for strings. Every entry on this page links to its source.
- Takamiya Co., Ltd. · first recordedICANN
- Band chosen: 1-9, no realistic market. The verified record shows one application, filed as a brand type by Takamiya Co., Ltd., and the string reads as a company or family name with no generic meaning in English; a brand-type application implies a closed registry where only the applicant registers names. It is not in the 10-29 band because there is no third-party buyer at all, so there is no vanity, event-driven, or memorable-name demand to measure; the only value is internal utility to the applicant. It sits at the top of the 1-9 band rather than lower because a closed brand TLD still has genuine utility to its one user if adopted as a primary identity. By analogy (flagged as such), dot-brands from the 2012 round were often lightly used, with many companies keeping the string defensively or on a few redirects rather than as a primary identity, and a meaningful share were later terminated; a minority adopted them as the main corporate web identity. Main market uncertainty: whether the applicant will actually move its primary web presence onto the TLD over the next 5 years, which would raise end-use utility for the one buyer without creating any aftermarket.
