About

Background

Sonagraf was originally founded in 2022 in Japan as 株式会社SonaGraf by award‑winning CG artist Jaakko Saari. Since then, we have collaborated with leading brands across Japan, Europe, and Finland, expanding our work into localization and cross‑cultural communication.

Sonagraf has been then established as Oy in May 2026 in Finland.

Our portfolio includes projects for high‑end clients such as Lexus, Canon, and Nikon, along with immersive XR experiences, real‑time graphics training, and broadcast‑ready visual solutions for companies in Japan and worldwide.

We also support Japanese companies visiting Finland by facilitating cross‑cultural B2B connections with innovative European high‑tech partners.

Focus

Sonagraf specializes in immersive storytelling, cinematics, and XR production. We build complete virtual worlds supported by high‑end multichannel audio and spatial sound design.

Unreal Engine is at the core of our workflow. Our team frequently works on Virtual Production stages as advisors and content specialists, supporting studios with real‑time pipelines and on‑set problem‑solving.

We also provide corporate training with a focus on in‑camera VFX, photorealistic real‑time graphics, and practical Unreal Engine workflows for broadcast and production teams.

Mission

To craft human stories that resonate.

To help our customers to realize their vision for virtual worlds that exceed their expectations.

To aid cross cultural communication between Finland and Japan.

Values

We believe in honesty, respect and justice.

We believe in equal opportunities regardless of one’s culture or background.

We stay ahead by exploring new technologies and integrating them into our creative process. When a project demands extra effort, we lean in—not back—so our clients receive results that surpass expectations.

Environment

We have a scientific world view. We recognize the ever growing importance of preservation of our environment as well as the massive impact climate change is causing.

We strive to minimize the carbon footprint caused by our operation by utilizing solar powered render farms and servers, but also by minimizing unnecessary paper consumption, opting for digital signing of documents.
