Blue Goats Capital, Inc. and its representative Kazuhiro Aoyagi have increased their joint stake in Vector Holdings to 8.56%, up from 6.13% in the previous report. The pair now report 2,681,900 shares between them.
The split matters because the position sits across both the investment vehicle and its principal. Blue Goats Capital reports 1,463,000 shares, or 4.67%, while Aoyagi reports 1,218,900 shares, or 3.89%. Both legs of the disclosed pair increased: Blue Goats Capital's own ratio was previously 4.29%, and Aoyagi's was 3.04%.
| Holder | Shares held | Current stake | Previous stake |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue Goats Capital, Inc. | 1,463,000 | 4.67% | 4.29% |
| Kazuhiro Aoyagi | 1,218,900 | 3.89% | 3.04% |
| Joint total | 2,681,900 | 8.56% | 6.13% |
The filing says the amendment was required because the holding ratio increased by more than 1 percentage point, and it keeps the stated purpose of both holdings at pure investment.
The funding disclosure is also unusually plain. Blue Goats Capital reported ¥229.1mn of own funds for its holding, and Aoyagi reported ¥212.0mn of own funds for his. That does not tell readers what the endgame is, but it does say this is a larger self-funded position, not a holding backed by disclosed acquisition borrowing.
For readers outside Japan, the signal is narrower than an activism story but more meaningful than routine paperwork. A named investor and its representative have become larger holders in Vector Holdings while leaving the purpose unchanged at pure investment. What the filing does not provide is just as important: there is no disclosed target ownership level, governance demand, or shift in holding purpose beyond that label.
