Kioxia Holdings Corporation (/kiˈoʊksiə/),[2] simply known as Kioxia and stylized as KIOXIA, is a Japanese multinational computer memory manufacturer headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. The company was spun off from the Toshiba conglomerate in June 2018 and gained its current name in October 2019;[3][4] it is currently majority owned by Bain Capital which holds a 56% stake, while Toshiba holds a 41% stake.[5]

In the early 1980s, while still part of Toshiba, the company was credited with inventing flash memory.[6] As of the second quarter of 2021, the company was estimated to have 18.3% of the global revenue share for NAND flash solid-state drives.[7]
