YOUON JAPAN Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Sun Feng), a developer of next-generation hydrogen energy products, has become a subsidiary of Ikuyo Co., Ltd., a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed automotive Tier 1 supplier, following the completion of a funding round. The company will now leverage the Ikuyo Group's domestic factories and manufacturing network to establish a 'Made in Japan' production system and has begun recruiting sales agents (partners).

Joining the Ikuyo Group and New Management Structure

Ikuyo Co., Ltd. is a TSE-listed company that has supplied high-quality parts to domestic and international automakers as an automotive Tier 1 supplier. By fully utilizing its precision manufacturing technology, quality control systems, and nationwide supply chain, the company will transition from merely importing and selling overseas products to a 'Made in Japan' production system that meets the rigorous quality standards and consumer needs of the Japanese market.

With this group integration, Sun Feng has been appointed as President and Representative Director. The company's headquarters has also been relocated to the Ikuyo headquarters (Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo) to establish a unified business promotion structure.

"YOUON JAPAN has been committed to contributing to a decarbonized society through the practical application of next-generation mobility centered on hydrogen energy. Our hydrogen mobility demonstration at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, and obtaining Japan's first type certification for a hydrogen-assisted bicycle, the 'U200,' were major milestones. By joining the Ikuyo Group, we have combined our technical capabilities, capital, and manufacturing networks. Through our 'Made in Japan' system utilizing Ikuyo's domestic factories, we will deliver clean and safe hydrogen products to even more people."

Sun Feng, President and Representative Director, YOUON JAPAN Co., Ltd.

Core Product Areas (3 Categories)

  1. Zero-Emission Mobility

    We are promoting domestic production of the 'U200' hydrogen-assisted bicycle, which received Japan's first type certification (National Public Safety Commission, Kyo N25-92 / Kyo A25-86, obtained in October 2025). It emits only water, requires no charging due to its replaceable hydrogen cartridge system, and has a cruising range of approximately 50–60 km. It was also adopted as a means of transport for staff at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai.

  2. Green Outdoor

    We offer products that combine convenience and design while being environmentally conscious, including outdoor grills that utilize clean energy, providing eco-friendly and premium experiences for camping and leisure.

  3. Emergency and Disaster Power Supplies

    We provide portable hydrogen generators and residential hydrogen energy systems. These function as decentralized power sources independent of the power grid during blackouts or disasters. By creating a cycle of storing and utilizing hydrogen generated from solar power, we achieve both energy savings during normal times and backup power during emergencies.
