Japan’s 'Wheelchair CEO' Overcomes Financial Crisis to Reach Stock Market Listing
Summary
Mirairo, led by Toshiya Kakiuchi, grew from a niche accessibility consulting business into a public company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market. The company helps organizations understand and remove physical and emotional barriers for people with disabilities and older adults through training and consulting. Demand fell sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic, pushing the business close to negative net worth, but a new strategy helped it recover. Mirairo now serves more than 1,200 businesses and continues to expand its barrier-free solutions across Japan.
