Summary
Otsuka Corporation
business japan nsp corporate
The AS handle AICS Otsuka Corp. is held by Otsuka Corporation, a Japanese food and beverage company.
What it's used for
- The address space carries corporate infrastructure, evidenced by netnames
JOINUS-NET,AICS-CIDR-BLK-JP, andOTSUKA-NET, and reverse DNS entries pointing tomsc.aics.ne.jpandalpha-prm.jp. - With 83,968 IPv4 addresses across 23 prefixes and 16 observed neighbours, the ratio suggests a large internal corporate estate with site-by-site segmentation rather than a public access network.
Notable
- Registrants include
IRT-JPNIC-JPandJapan Network Information Center, which align with the announcer's identity as a Japanese entity. - The inventory is dominated by the
157.205.0.0/16block, subdivided into numerous /19, /20, /21, /22, and /23 prefixes, indicating a finely managed internal network. - A single IPv6 prefix
2403:6c00::/32is also announced.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
