ABOUT SHOSABIWhat is SHOSABI

01　Visualizing Embodied Intelligence

02　Intuitive Realtime Feedback

03　Defining the ideal way to move

We possess three core technologies, which we integrate organically to create new wellness value across many aspects of daily life.
These technologies are the result of years of joint research with the University of Tokyo and have been developed with the support of many partners, including the Mitsubishi Chemical Group.
To accelerate our growth even further, SHOSABI spun out from the Mitsubishi Chemical Group and was established as an independent company on February 1, 2024.
People around the world suffer from physical discomfort, such as stiff shoulders and other chronic issues.
Many try massages, strength training, and various other remedies, yet it is common to hear that their symptoms do not fully improve.
 In principle, the coordination of brain, muscles, and sensory perception should work instinctively to create healthy movement.
However, modern lifestyles have disrupted this sense of movement. Individuals often lack the correct movement patterns that suit their own bodies, leading to inefficient exercise and even injuries that may cause long‑term problems. Until now, correcting these misalignments has required skilled instructors and, at times, complex movement analysis.
SHOSABI now enables anyone to easily perform precision training that corrects movement misalignments.
By simply standing in front of a simple 3D motion sensor, users can immediately adjust their movements. The system provides intuitive visualization, real‑time feedback, and numerical results as its core features. We support people in noticing sensory misalignments and achieving healthier results.
We aspire to live with confidence, elegance, and inner strength, and to create a society full of people who do the same. We look forward to connecting with those who share this vision.

Features of SHOSABIFeatures & Strengths of SHOSABI

Brain & Body Cordination
The unique technology developed exclusively by SHOSABI.

01　Visualizing Embodied Intelligence

By visualizing movement and decision points through the eyes of trainers and physical therapists, we help users gain awareness of their own motion, supporting better posture, smoother movement, and lasting health.

02　Realtime Feedback

In those moments, rapid comprehension and immediate adjustment are essential. We have developed a technology that leverages a simple 3D motion sensor to deliver precise, intuitive feedback and motion analysis.

03　Defining the ideal way to move

Personalized movement assessments can be accessed easily, without multiple sensors or complex expert evaluations, drawing on years of accumulated expertise.

We also hold patents related to these technologies.
The “precision of movement” essential to delivering SHOSABI refers to positional accuracy within 3D space. SHOSABI uses a simple 3D motion sensor to visualize movement in real time and convert the results into numerical data. This sensor captures up to one million surface points per second, enabling exceptional accuracy.
In addition, the viewpoint can be freely moved in 3D, allowing for highly flexible visual expression By applying these technologies to fitness, we created SHOSABI’s assessment tool. Users can perform 11 exercises while correcting their movements in real time.
Immediately afterward, they receive five functional evaluations, followed by personalized exercise recommendations. Leveraging this technology, SHOSABI will continue to expand its applications beyond fitness into corporate wellness, rehabilitation, and other health‑related fields

Achievements and future plans
Our Direction

SHOSABI is
actively expanding its global presence.

We currently provide SHOSABI across Europe, the Middle East, and North America, adapting our solutions to local needs.

Health and radiance
for everyone

There are people who move through life with effortless grace.
What they share is a sense of posture,
not only in how they hold their bodies,
but in how they live their lives.
Their physical posture is poised,
and their way of living carries the same quiet strength.
“SHOSABI” in Japanese expresses
the beautiful precision movements.
We hope to support everyone in living true to themselves,
moving with ease, and growing older with a genuine smile.
That is our wish.
