'I Don't Want Anyone Else to Feel This Way' — Realizing Chairman Ohga's Vision via AI President After His Kidney Cancer Experience

THA Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Asako Nishiyama) is pleased to announce the joint development of 'AI Ohgaman Anti-aging' in collaboration with 'Heart Cross Health Checkup Plaza Akasaka Ekimae,' which will be opened in April 2026 by Anyukai Medical Corporation (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka; Chairman CEO: Takahiro Ohga). This interactive AI service aims to induce behavioral change in health checkup recipients.

'AI Ohgaman Anti-aging' is a companion AI service designed for recipients who tend to ignore abnormal values, thinking 'I'll be fine.' It conveys risks in an easy-to-understand manner and encourages them to seek medical consultation. The 'Pharmacist Soldier Ohgaman' is available 24/7 for consultations.

### About the Pharmacist Hero 'Ohgaman'
Ohgaman is a pharmacist hero whose mission is to reduce medical costs. Since his debut in 2019, he has been involved in 'Medicine Education' activities, teaching children the correct way to take medicine with his signature catchphrase, 'Drink your medicine and go to sleep.' In his anti-aging form, he promotes health checkup awareness.

As a member of the tokusatsu program 'Dogengers' from Fukuoka, he also contributes to regional revitalization alongside other local corporate heroes. His recognition rate in the Fukuoka area exceeds 40%. For this project, his personality was reflected in the AI to create a familiar and approachable presence for users.

### Development Background: Born from Chairman Ohga's Personal Experience
The origin of this project lies in the personal experience of Takahiro Ohga, Chairman CEO of Heart Cross Health Checkup Plaza. In August 2025, at age 43, calcification was discovered in his kidney during a comprehensive medical exam. Further tests revealed a 35mm tumor, and he was diagnosed with malignant kidney cancer on November 4th of the same year. He underwent surgery on December 1st, losing one kidney, but because it was caught early at Stage 1, his life was saved.

Mr. Ohga wrote on Note: 'It chills me to think what would have happened if it had grown, metastasized, and been found only after symptoms appeared. I was so lucky to find it early.' Following this experience, he felt a strong urge to reduce the number of people who leave their checkup results unattended.

In Fukuoka Prefecture, while the checkup rate is about 65%, only about 20% of those with 'C' or 'D' ratings actually visit a hospital. 'By the time symptoms appear, it's too late. I don't want anyone else to go through what I did.' This earnest wish became the starting point for 'AI Ohgaman Anti-aging.'

### Features of 'AI Ohgaman Anti-aging'
This service is not just a tool for providing health information; it is a companion AI focused on 'behavioral change.'

1. **Conveying Risks Clearly**: By explaining how 'C' or 'D' ratings specifically affect one's life, it turns vague anxiety into a 'reason to move now.'
2. **Guidance on Medical Departments**: It guides users to the correct clinical department based on their results, removing the barrier of not knowing where to go.
3. **Introducing Nearby Clinics**: It suggests clinics suitable for consultation based on the user's residential area (starting with Fukuoka Prefecture).
4. **Communication in Ohgaman's Style**: The AI reflects the worldview and character of Ohga Pharmacy's corporate hero, using language familiar to fans to create a comfortable consultation experience.

### Representative Comments
**Takahiro Ohga, President of Ohga Pharmacy Co., Ltd.**: 'I lost a kidney, but I am here today because of early detection. It's too late once symptoms appear. If I hadn't had this experience, I would have only given vague advice. I want to reduce the number of people who ignore their C-ratings. I believe this AI has the power to do that. "Prevent your bad ending before it happens" is a message I've lived with my life. I will dedicate myself to this project to protect the health of our community.'

**Asako Nishiyama, CEO of THA Inc.**: 'When I heard Chairman Ohga's story, I was deeply moved by his words, "I don't want anyone to feel this way." In developing this AI, we prioritized creating an "experience that moves people" over just a "convenient system." We aimed for an AI that sincerely pushes people who tend to think they are fine. Mr. Ohga's thoughts are the soul of this service. We are confident that this new power of AI will change the health checkup culture in Japan, starting from Fukuoka.'
