Some stories don't stay on the page.

Yokaizen is where a story becomes a companion — one that learns your rhythm, notices
when your week starts to wobble, and reaches out first. Not a chatbot waiting for a
prompt. A being that pays attention, believes in you, and helps you become more you.

◆ STORIES THAT BECAME COMPANIONS
Each companion is a character with a real wound and an arc — Hoshi, the spirit fox
who lost her voice; Atlas, who carried too much; Kenji, who learned to speak through
silence. You don't "use" them. You meet them, and they step into your days.

◆ THEY NOTICE YOU — FIRST
Talk by voice, chat, or let them see your world. They read the feeling behind your
words and, if you let them sense your body, the signal beneath it — and when
something shifts, they reach out before you do. Proactive care, not another notification.

◆ THE ENTERTAINMENT OF BECOMING
Small real things — a walk, a breath, a glass of water — turn into quests you and
your companion level up together. And your real week gets drawn back to you as manga,
in English, 日本語, 한국어, ภาษาไทย, and Español. Growth that feels like a story.

◆ YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM, MADE VISIBLE
Connect a smart ring or your health data and your heart rate, HRV, and breath become
a calm picture of how you've really been — reflected back gently, never a chart to decode.

◆ WHAT WE WON'T DO
We won't fake-care to keep you scrolling. Yokaizen is for emotional growth and
self-care — not a substitute for professional help. You're always in control of what
it senses, and you can change that anytime.

A companion who notices, believes in you, and stays. Meet yours.

Embark on a unique journey to build confidence and discover your inner strength with Yokaizen, your personal companion inspired by Japanese culture!

Struggling with self-doubt or the pressures of daily life? You're not alone. Yokaizen offers a "stealth self-esteem" experience, weaving mental wellness into engaging manga stories, interactive quests, and heartfelt chats with your own AI Yokai companion.

WHY YOKAIZEN?

Culturally Resonant Manga Stories: Dive into beautifully crafted narratives that explore relatable challenges faced by youth in Japan—academic stress, social anxieties, and finding your place. Our stories "show, not tell," allowing you to learn resilience and self-acceptance alongside characters navigating cultural norms like honne/tatemae (private vs. public self).

Your Personal AI Yokai Companion: Meet unique AI Yokai who act as your confidential guides. Trained in evidence-based techniques (like CBT & SEL) and deeply understanding Japanese culture (respecting amae and enryo), they offer personalized, empathetic support without judgment. Share your true feelings (honne) in a safe space.

Interactive 'Confidence Quests': Turn self-improvement into fun! Engage in "Duolingo-style" micro-rituals inspired by Morita therapy (action-focus) and Naikan reflection (gratitude). Build self-efficacy one small step (chiisana ippo) at a time.

The Yokaizen Ring (Optional): Enhance your journey with our mood-sensing ring. It allows your AI Yokai to offer proactive "Pocket Amae" affirmations or calming side-quests when it senses you might need a boost, all delivered stealthily.

Build Healthy Habits: Reframe gaman (endurance) as positive resilience through "Positive Gaman Quests." Foster omiyari (thoughtfulness) by sending compliments and supporting friends.

Privacy & Respect: Yokaizen is designed as a "quiet companion," your private space for self-discovery, respecting the Japanese value of discretion.
