The humanoid programme is funded internally, and no separate funding round for Kaleido is disclosed. I found no sourced figure for KHI's pre-IPO capital, IPO gross proceeds or later share placements, so funding_usd is left empty rather than estimated. The profile gives paid-in capital of JPY 104,484 million as of 2026-03-31; that is a share-capital account balance, not a sum of raises, so it was not used. I did not source a market capitalisation, so valuation_usd is empty.",
