How to pitch Kato, step by step

  1. 1

    Check that your channel fits

    Kato sponsors channels of 1M+ subscribers most often, across travel, hobbies/collectibles. If your size band says "Rarely" or "Not seen" above, pitch with a strong reason it fits your audience, or start with a brand that already sponsors channels like yours.

  2. 2

    Watch a few of its recent integrations

    Note where the read sits in the video, how long it runs, and whether there's a promo code or a link. Your pitch is stronger when you show you know the format Kato already buys.

  3. 3

    Find the right person

    Brands like Kato usually run sponsorships through a partnerships, creators or influencer marketing team; start from kato.co.jp. A named person beats a general inbox.

  4. 4

    Lead with your numbers

    Open with your average views per video, your audience's countries and age, and one sentence on why your viewers would buy. Quote a price anchored on your views instead of waiting for an offer.

  5. 5

    Pitch while the budget is open

    We last detected a Kato sponsorship in Jun 2026. Brands buy in campaigns; a short, specific pitch can land as the next one is planned.

Brands to pitch next

Same niche, similar reach.

Counts cover sponsored videos published in the last year, detected from public YouTube data via the official YouTube Data API. A sponsored video is one whose description or paid-promotion disclosure names the brand. A detected sponsorship is not confirmation of fees or contract terms, and does not mean Kato is currently taking new creators.
