KDDI ranks 219 on the Global FORTUNE list and 141 on Forbes' The World's Biggest Public Companies.

KDDI was formed by the October 2000 merger of the company KDD ( Jap. 国際電信電話株式会社 , Kokusai Denshin Denwa KK ), DDI ( Daini Denden Inc. , 第二電電企画株式会社 ) and IDO ( 日本移動通信株式会社 , Nippon Idō Tsūshin KK ).

In the mobile communications market, KDDI works with the brands au / kddi and Tu-Ka / kddi with a total of around 28 million customers and a turnover of 2.6 trillion yen and the subsidiary Okinawa Cellular Telephone in competition with market leader NTT DoCoMo . As an Internet service provider , KDDI has a market share of 6.5% among fiber optic broadband customers ( FTTH: Fiber To The Home ). For landline calls - since the market was liberalized in 2001 with free choice of service provider without the need for a prefix ( myline ) - KDDI has a market share of 9% for local calls and 14.1% for long-distance calls.

In the market for optical networks, KDDI is trying to expand its share and attack the former monopoly NTT and announced on April 1, 2008 the takeover of the fiber optic business of Chūbu Denryoku for around 28 billion yen.

In 2011, KDDI acquired the Korean full-service content delivery network company CDNetworks, which was founded in 2000 and had sales of US $ 99 million in 2010 for US $ 165 million .
