“MEDIROM is a location partner for the World Network, co-founded by Sam Altman and
Alex Blania,to promote domestic adoption of proof of human technology.”
Tokyo, Japan – October 28, 2025 – MEDIROM Healthcare Technologies Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kouji Eguchi; NASDAQ: MRM), today announced that as of October 23, 2025, the Company surpassed 10,000 verifications of World ID at its Re.Ra.Ku and other wellness salons throughout Japan. The Company plans to further expand the installation of the Orb, an advanced camera that verifies humanness, to 200 stores.
Benefits of Increasing World ID Verifications
MEDIROM has joined the “World,” a “proof of human” protocol co-founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania. As the number of World ID verifications increases, more individuals across society will be able to prove their humanness, enhancing the convenience and reliability of this new digital social infrastructure. Furthermore, the increased in such authentication transactions is expected to contribute to our revenue growth.
About World ID
World ID is a global authentication technology that proves “humanness,” not identity. In recent years, with the rapid evolution of generative AI, we are entering a society where it is difficult to distinguish between humans and AI. Against this backdrop, World ID aims to provide “digital proof of human.”
The Orb, an advanced camera, is used to verify humanness of individuals without identifying them. Once verification is complete, a verified World ID is issued and stored in World App, enabling its use across various compatible services.
