Message from the Chairman

Bringing technology proven in the world’s harshest environments to healthcare in Japan.

Our products have been recognized and chosen in demanding medical environments around the world: regions with limited electricity and water, mobile hospitals, and equine facilities treating high-value racehorses. From the freezing Everest Base Camp to zero-gravity space missions, MIKASA X-RAY portable systems continue to perform reliably under extreme conditions.

Today, 97% of our sales come from overseas markets. Our sincere wish is to bring this globally proven technology and trust back to Japan, where our company was founded.

Balancing Durability and High Image Quality

Because our systems are portable, they are used far beyond hospital walls. For frontline settings where every second matters, we have consistently pursued both rugged durability and high image quality.

Each unit is carefully built through skilled craftsmanship: component selection, precision assembly, and meticulous inspection and calibration. This uncompromising manufacturing process creates the robustness required for harsh environments. At the same time, our systems are lightweight enough to carry with one hand while delivering high output and very short exposure times, enabling clear imaging even of moving subjects. We believe this accumulation of technology has earned the trust of professionals working at the front lines of care.

Protecting Both the Operator and the Patient

Safety is as essential as toughness. Leakage radiation from the device is controlled to less than one-tenth of the FDA standard, helping protect not only patients but also physicians and radiologic technologists who perform imaging every day. Protecting both those who image and those who are imaged is a responsibility we will continue to uphold as a manufacturer.

Contributing to a New Era of Outreach Medicine

As Japan faces rapid aging and frequent natural disasters, the healthcare delivery model itself is changing. We believe in supporting an era where healthcare goes to the patient, not only the other way around. In home care, disaster sites, and medically underserved areas, portable X-ray systems can provide high-quality primary diagnosis on site.

From Our 100-Year Heritage to the Future

As we mark over 100 years since our founding, we are actively integrating advanced technologies such as AI and cloud connectivity. At the same time, our core DNA remains unchanged: to deliver accurate diagnosis with compact, lightweight systems.

Infectious disease outbreaks, conflict, and natural disasters continue to leave many people without access to care. Bringing the power of primary diagnosis to everyone who needs it is our enduring mission.

We will continue to advance our technology as one team to support healthcare in Japan and around the world. We sincerely appreciate your continued support.

Message from the President

Moving into our next transformation, powered by bonds with partners around the world.

Since expanding overseas in 1952, MIKASA X-RAY has focused on developing global markets and extending its reach around the world. In countries with different cultures and market backgrounds, the strong relationships of trust we have built steadily from the ground up with local distributors and component suppliers are our greatest asset.

I have personally been involved on the front lines, supported by many partners, in building a global supply foundation. Drawing on this dependable network we have cultivated worldwide, I will lead MIKASA X-RAY into its next transformation.

Pursuing Ease of Use in Mobile Healthcare through Digital Integration

In recent years, the use of digital technologies such as DR panels, image processing software, and cloud connectivity has expanded the range of options that support imaging sites. While continuing to value the strengths of the hardware we have developed over the years, we aim to create an easier-to-use environment for healthcare professionals involved in mobile healthcare through collaboration with peripheral equipment and partner companies.

Toward the Realization of a “Hospital Anywhere”

As my vision for the future, I have set forth the concept of a “Hospital Anywhere.” This is an initiative to create an environment where patients can receive high-quality diagnosis even outside hospitals, and where healthcare professionals can more easily acquire and share images. It is not something that can be achieved all at once, but by steadily building on our efforts over the next 10 and 20 years, I hope to create a foundation that will carry forward to the next generation.

This grand concept of a “Hospital Anywhere” cannot be achieved by our company alone. It requires the knowledge of healthcare professionals, partner companies with strengths in AI, sensors, software, sales and maintenance networks, and the capabilities of each of our employees.

By fitting each strength together like pieces of a puzzle, we hope to work with all of you to create systems that are truly easy to use for medical settings. We will continue moving forward as one team, and we sincerely ask for your continued support.
