About / ナイツについて

A late-night Tokyo guild for people who look for the seams in the world

Comfy, curious, cracked

Why NAITS

Understand the system from every angle.

NAITS(ナイツ)brings together people working across cybersecurity, AI, AI safety, and adjacent technical fields. We believe difficult systems become safer when thoughtful people are willing to question their assumptions, study how they fail, and share what they learn.

The name carries a quiet reference to knights: fellowship, courage, precision, and craft. The sword is a symbol of controlled attention—not aggression. The night is where long conversations have room to become interesting.

An evolving constellation

Security is broad.

The agenda follows the work people bring, not a fixed conference track.

Our ethos

Challenge ideas rigorously. Treat people generously.

Curious, not dogmatic

Interesting questions matter more than credentials.

Adversarial, not toward each other

Break assumptions, not trust.

Builders welcome

Research is valuable. So is shipping code.

Share what you learn

Turn discussions into open knowledge whenever possible.
