It isn’t a new company as such but an avast Japanese language site for avast. The server/s is/are actually in the USA, see image and there are a number of different IPs assigned to this domain name.
The UI shouldn’t automatically change to Japanese, usually it is based on the Localised language used in Windows when you install avast. So it should really remain that way unless changed by the user, I haven’t seen anything in the forums that Scott mentions.
