General Incorporated Association "Ashi no Bannin" announces its dream to create a future where no one loses the ability to walk, by fostering societal awareness of foot health and early detection, rather than solely relying on medical treatment.

That abnormality, if noticed, might be preventable.

People assume they can walk naturally.

But in reality, every year in this country, 10,000 people lose their feet.

And what's more, it's not due to accidents, but progresses quietly, unnoticed.

That's why we advocate for a slightly unusual dream.

"Creating a future where 'no one loses the ability to walk'."

Instead of saving through medical treatment, we aim to stop it before it starts.

To achieve this,

we will create a society where "everyone" in this country looks at someone else's feet.

Therapists notice. Nail technicians notice. Shoe store staff notice. Family members notice.

"This foot, it might be a little strange."

A society where people can naturally say that one phrase.

Just that alone will surely increase the number of futures that could have been protected.

"Making it 'normal' to be able to walk until 100 years old."

It's not something special.

We will create a society where "knowing your own feet" becomes a part of daily life.

Protecting your feet means protecting your life.

Looking at your feet leads to protecting your feet.

Until we realize a society where walking until 100 years old is commonplace,

look at feet, touch feet, connect at-risk feet to specialists.

You, who protect feet, are the Foot Guardian yourself.
