Datasection, Inc. 3905.TYO
Datasection is a front smuggling restricted NVIDIA B200 GPUs to blacklisted Tencent via shell entities and Chinese-linked financing; forced regulatory decoupling will destroy the business.
Thesis
Wolfpack argues that Datasection, a small Japanese data-center firm, is acting as a front for Tencent — a company the US Defense Department ties to the Chinese military — to illegally import NVIDIA B200 GPUs subject to US export controls. CEO Norihiko Ishihara allegedly concealed Tencent's identity as the $272 million 'mystery customer' behind orders of 5,000 and 10,000 restricted GPUs, used a related-party shell called NowNaw Japan (whose affiliate is housed in Dalian's Tencent Building) to mask Chinese backing, switched auditors to an obscure non-PCAOB-registered firm, and resorted to a China-linked Singaporean lender after Japanese banks refused the deal. KDDI has already exited the partnership and dumped its stake from 9.5% to 3.7%, with Nippon Life following from 6.69% to zero. Wolfpack has notified US and Japanese authorities and expects forced decoupling that leaves Datasection with no business worth investing in.
SCQA
Datasection is a small Japanese data-center firm that announced plans to build Japan's first NVIDIA B200 GPU supercluster for a $272 million 'mystery customer,' positioning itself as a rare Japanese player with privileged access to restricted US chips.
That mystery customer is reportedly Tencent, which the US Defense Department links to the Chinese military; the CEO used related-party shell NowNaw Japan, a China-linked Singaporean lender, and a switched auditor to mask illegal exports.
Wolfpack notified US BIS, Homeland Security, and Japanese authorities, and expects regulators to force decoupling between Datasection and Tencent, halting the GPU supercluster and exposing the related-party scheme.
Without Tencent as its only funded customer — and with KDDI and Nippon Life already selling down — Wolfpack believes Datasection faces 'near total annihilation' and is not a business worth investing in.
The three reasons
- 1
Datasection is illegally routing restricted NVIDIA B200 GPUs to blacklisted Tencent, a China-military-linked firm
- 2
CEO Ishihara used related-party NowNaw Japan to mask Chinese backing while hiding identity from staff and banks
- 3
KDDI and Nippon Life are fleeing the stock; forced US/Japan decoupling leaves no viable standalone business
Primary demands

- Japanese authorities to act on export-control violations
