Taro's team consisted of a few fellow developers, designers, and a project manager. Together, they set out to create a suite of apps that would showcase the capabilities of Windows Mobile 6.
Although the rise of iOS and Android eventually led to a decline in popularity for Windows Mobile 6, Taro's legacy lived on. His apps had left a lasting impact on the city of Tokyo and the world of mobile development. Even today, some of his apps remain available for download on archive websites, serving as a nostalgic reminder of the early days of smartphone apps.
Their first app, called "Tokyo Transit," was a simple yet useful tool that helped commuters navigate Tokyo's complex subway system. The app provided interactive maps, route planning, and real-time train schedules. Taro's team developed the app using the .NET Compact Framework and C# programming language, which allowed them to create a seamless and intuitive user experience.
