In 1971 it sold Japan's first electric wheelchair, and over the following half century it continued research, development, manufacture and sale of electric wheelchairs, prostheses and walking-support devices. The company itself was established on April 2, 1982. In recent years it has also focused on research and development of carbon sports prosthetic running blades to promote disability sports.
