Summary
Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd.
enterprise hosting legacy
DNP is Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd., one of the world's largest printing companies and, in practice, a diversified Japanese manufacturer — packaging, display components, smart cards and IT services alongside the printing business.
What it's used for
- About 13,600 addresses across seventeen prefixes, chiefly
157.101.224.0/19and210.133.96.0/20. No IPv6 is announced. - Reverse DNS splits two ways. Most of it is the company's own infrastructure in
dnp.co.jpanddnp.ad.jp, including hosts underkdc.dnp.ad.jp— the Kashiwa data centre. The rest sits inmediagalaxy.ne.jp, the brand DNP has used for managed hosting and cloud since 1998, with machine-numbered names of thehNNNNNNNNNNNN.mediagalaxy.ne.jpform.
Notable
- Primarily an enterprise network — a large manufacturer's corporate IT — with a genuine managed-hosting business attached. Neither half is subscriber space; there are no dial-up, PPPoE or DHCP-style pools anywhere in it.
- A minority of prefixes reverse into customer-facing service domains, which is what you would expect from hosted web properties rather than from an access ISP.
Interesting
- The MediaGalaxy platform is PCI DSS certified for card-payment workloads, which is an unusual thing to find behind a printing company's AS — and a reminder that Japanese insatsu firms moved into secure data and IT services decades ago.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-13, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
