Notes
- I found multiple reputable media sources describing Kyuramen as founded in New York City in 2014 by Gary Lin, and describing Gary Lin as the founder of Kyuramen Group, but I did not find any transaction announcement, portfolio page, or other reliable evidence indicating current controlling ownership by a private equity sponsor.
