While at Keio University, Kikugawa was an avid event planner and would rent out clubs in Tokyo's Roppongi district where students could gather.

With the expansion of the internet in the early nineties, Kikugawa, inspired by his university events, founded Gala Inc. to bring people together online.

The initial business approach was to create home pages free of charge and then share the advertising revenue.

In November 2005, Gala-Net Inc. opened as a North American subsidiary and online games publisher with its office in Sunnyvale, California.

In October 2006, Gala-Net established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Gala Networks Europe, based out of Dublin, Ireland.

The company offered data mining and information analysis services for corporate clients through its e-mining and buzz reports.

Gala also released a statement outlining the changes to their compliance management system and procedures put in place to prevent insider trading from happening again.
