Dayacom is a Dayashinese multinational technology conglomerate that specialises in consumer electronics, software, entertainment media, and various online services. It is Dayashina's second largest company by revenue, and the nation's largest technology company. It is one of the foremost smartphone and computer manufacturers in Septentrion and is considered one of the "big four" Dayashinese technology companies alongside Ibaraki, Hoko, and Masaoka Group.
Dayacom has a high degree of brand loyalty, especially within in Dayashinese Association countries, and is widely praised for its unique ecosystem built upon the wide array of products and services they offer. Dayacom is the owner of the social media platform known as Tōku, a premier photo and video based social networking service globally, and the creator of the DCX gaming console. Not only is it a technological giant, but also significantly competitive in entertainment media industries such as music and television/streaming through Dayacom Entertainment. The company receives a high degree of criticism in Dayashina and globally for anti-competitive practices, ethics, and labour practices.
Dayacom's headquarters in Nakazara, Dayashina, designed by Tomoyuki Iekami, is one of the world's tallest buildings and one of the world's greatest architectural feats. Dayacom leases 40% of the building out to other businesses and individuals, and it serves as one of Dayashina's most popular community hubs.
