IKOU is an inclusive brand that caters to families
with children of all developmental needs, giving them the confidence
to experience things together as much as anyone else.
We believe any child, regardless of physical disability,
grows through experience. We design products to enable that.
Our Vision
Embracing inclusive design, we turn diversity into value, fostering a world
without division.
We aspire to eliminate the societal structure divided by 'individuals with disabilities
or without disabilities.
The lack of diversity in society leads to difficulties in life for all people.
Recognizing each other's individuality from childhood and fostering a sense of "living
together and supporting each other" will bring flexibility and strength to society.
For all of us to live a secure and positive life, we would like to eliminate the gap
between people with disabilities and able-bodied people.

Our Mission
To advance opportunities for diverse individuals to engage with one
another by providing products and services that promote inclusive
usability beyond any limitations by disabilities or non-disabilities
We provide safe, comfortable, and unique products and services based on "inclusivedesign". The inclusive design takes the challenges faced by minorities as its starting
point and values the development process to work with users to solve thosechallenges.

CEO & FOUNDER: Yuri Matsumoto
Yuri spent 10 years at Toyota Motor’s headquarters as product manager, leading product planning for global
strategic vehicles such as the Corolla, as well as corporate pricing strategy. The experience at Toyota madeher realize craftsmanship has the power to change people's lives for the better.
Yuri left Toyota after giving birth to her first son in 2016, who was diagnosed with motor dysfunction due tocerebral palsy. While devoting herself to the care and rehabilitation of him, Yuri noticed that the socialwelfare system, grounded in the premise that "people with disabilities should be protected,” fosters a division
between children with disabilities and those without disabilities in terms of playing, learning, and living. It
inspired her to establish Halu Inc. in 2020.

Outlook for the Future
IKOU Kids Wear

•Expand product offerings so that both families with or without disabled children
can find products that meet their needs. In addition to the portable chair, we
had launched IKOU Kids Wear and IKOU Bib in 2022. They are also based on
an idea inspired by the experience of parents and their children with special
needs, and we aim to meet the potential needs of wider range of users.

•Through the practical implementation of product development based oninclusive design, we will actively share the knowledge and user networks that wehave accumulated.
Specifically, we will engage in collaborative development, consultation, andtraining for various products and services, starting from the challenges faced byminorities. Going beyond our business domain, we aim to practice inclusive
design in collaboration with other companies and organizations that have diversestrengths. This not only seeks to expand choices for minorities but also aims tocontribute to the creation of innovation and the revitalization of the economy
across society.
