■ From Local Roots to Global Reach: A Fukuoka-Based Company Broadcasts Its Vision for the Future from Times Square

rYojbaba Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: RYOJ, Headquarters: Fukuoka Prefecture, President and CEO: Ryoji Baba; hereinafter 'rYojbaba') announces that President and CEO Ryoji Baba rang the opening bell at the Nasdaq Opening Bell Ceremony held at the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square, New York, USA, on Tuesday, May 26, 2026.

At the Nasdaq Opening Bell Ceremony, a symbolic event in the financial markets watched by investors, corporations, and media worldwide, rYojbaba broadcasted its corporate vision to 'Fight Poverty' to the world.

The event was also attended by rYojbaba's management team and board members. The rYojbaba logo and visuals were projected onto the giant Nasdaq Tower in Times Square, New York, marking a new step forward as a company originating from Japan.

■ 'Measuring Success Not Just by Profit, but by How Many Lives We Can Change'

Taking the stage at the ceremony, President and CEO Ryoji Baba delivered the following message to the world:

'Our mission is to create opportunities for the next generation by fighting poverty. I believe that AI and technology have the power to cross language barriers and connect people. But what is more important than technology is the "spirit." In Japan, there is a word called the "Samurai Spirit." It is the spirit of never giving up, protecting people, and constantly moving forward.'

He continued:

'We do not measure success solely by profit. We measure success by how many people's lives we have improved. Ringing the opening bell at Nasdaq is a great pride and a new beginning for us.'

At the venue, he strongly conveyed the company's values and social mission as a Japanese enterprise to global investors and stakeholders. rYojbaba's stance of balancing 'economic growth' with 'social contribution' garnered significant attention.

■ Originating in Fukuoka: From Community Focus to the Global Market

rYojbaba's origins lie in the 'Sakai Osteopathic Clinic,' founded in 1989.

For over 30 years, it has been rooted in local communities across Japan, working to improve people's health, restore physical functions, and enhance the quality of life.

What has been built through the osteopathic clinic business is not just a track record of treatments. It is a relationship of trust with local communities, human connections, and the philosophy of 'supporting those in need.'

Based on that spirit, rYojbaba currently operates a labor consulting business and a health services business.

It has built a unique model that integrates law, labor relations, medical care, and community support, comprehensively assisting companies, working people, patients, families, and local communities.

Furthermore, the company employs experts well-versed in Japan's labor environment and employment issues, with national certified professionals such as Labor and Social Security Attorneys working in tandem with medical professionals.

They not only address human resource challenges and labor issues faced by companies but also work to ensure the health and stability of the living foundations of working people.

■ Creating Opportunities for the Next Generation Through the Fusion of AI and Human Power

rYojbaba is also actively focusing on the potential of AI and technology.

The company believes that the evolution of translation and communication technologies powered by AI is narrowing the opportunity gaps previously divided by language and geography.

On the other hand, what rYojbaba values most is 'human power.'

They believe that for challenges that technology alone cannot solve, a compassionate heart, a culture of mutual support, and a spirit of unrelenting challenge are the driving forces that move society forward.

As a symbol of this, the company upholds the 'Samurai Spirit.'

They have adopted the Japanese values of 'never giving up,' 'protecting people,' and 'constantly challenging' as one of their corporate philosophies and are broadcasting it to the world.

■ The Corporate Vision of 'Fighting Poverty'

The phrase 'Fight Poverty' promoted by rYojbaba does not merely mean providing financial assistance.

The company aims to create a society where people can forge their own futures through health support, employment assistance, regional revitalization, and improved access to specialized services.

'A lack of opportunity' closes off future possibilities.

rYojbaba continues to approach this social issue from the multiple perspectives of medical care, labor relations, community support, and technology.

This Opening Bell Ceremony on the Nasdaq market is not just a symbol of corporate growth, but also a declaration of intent to challenge the global market as a 'company that solves social issues.'

The broadcast footage of the day is available on the official Nasdaq website.
