The popular ninja performance that was a big hit at CES 2024 and SusHi Tech Tokyo 2025 will be powered up even further. ASHITAKA, a breakdancer who is a world Guinness record holder for the "One-Hand Rabbit" move, Ibuki, an Asia champion freestyle footballer, and other performers including a karateka YouTuber who is a現役 nurse, will perform original Japanese-style dance in ninja costumes. Sensors will react to the performers' movements, and stage lighting will synchronize. Human movement will be elevated into new entertainment by sensors. Yuto Shioda (Clay Co., Ltd.) will be the general director for this show stage, with Prototype Co., Ltd. and Medical Project Co., Ltd. participating as technical collaborators. This groundbreaking project will be realized with the cooperation of Japan's top runners in entertainment and sensing technology. In addition, real ninjas will participate this time! Will the next-generation sensors react to the ninjas' stealthy steps...!?

Even with intense performances, safety measures are perfect. "Koroyawa®" blocks, which employ a mechanical metamaterial structure that softens only when falling to absorb impact, are laid over the sensors. There is no need to hold back on performance due to fear of injury. "Koroyawa®" has been adopted by over 1,600 medical and elderly care facilities in Japan, guaranteeing a high level of safety. This perfectly embodies the concept of this demo area: "Fall with all your might! Everyone, Performer."

Outside of performer performance times, media and the general public can also enjoy the "Fall with all your might! Everyone, Performer." experience in the sensor area.

Event Concept "Fall with all your might! Everyone, Performer."
