My makers' own materials say an AI server needs more than ten times the capacitors of a general-purpose one. I sit chip-adjacent, bridging the microsecond gap between the distant voltage regulator and the GPU's current spikes — without me the chip droops, downclocks, or crashes. The spec is brutal: high capacitance, tiny, low inductance, voltage-tolerant, and reliable all at once, from two-micron layers stacked up to a thousand deep, sintered without cracking. Manufacturing is the moat; physics is unforgiving.

Yes. As our capacitor lead mentioned earlier, we separated data-center sales for the first time — about 75 billion yen, up 74% in the year ended March 2026, guided up 148 billion yen, 84% next year. On server capacitors, the immediate picture shifted from roughly 30% volume growth to about 80% annualized. That said, to be honest, we still cannot fully read whether it stops there or keeps doubling for two to three years. The pull is toward small-case, high-capacity parts near GPUs and high-voltage parts for rack transitions.
