What rYojbaba does

rYojbaba Co., Ltd. is a Fukuoka-headquartered, NasdaqCM-listed (ticker RYOJ) professional services firm that provides labor and corporate consulting to Japanese companies, labor unions, and individual employees, alongside directly-operated osteopathic and beauty clinics through its wholly-owned subsidiary Sakai Seikotsuin Nishi Co., Ltd. (24 locations in Fukuoka). The firm sells two core consulting practices — Corporate Consulting (policy standardization, dispute resolution, whistleblowing and stress-check programs, harassment resolution) and Labor Union Consulting (membership growth, member-benefit design, union operations support) — supplemented by add-on services in government-subsidy application and social-insurance premium optimization, with a stated differentiator of impartial three-party (company/worker/union) advisory and an industry-first no-dues union model. Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based B2B consulting engagements and recurring clinic services, with pricing not publicly disclosed. In late 2025 the company launched an AI-Powered Worker Risk Intelligence Platform that integrates data from its business units and international partnerships to deliver predictive analytics to corporations, insurance providers, and municipalities, and signed four strategic partnerships (Koyamada International Foundation, Guardian Girls International, China Zhongqing International Holdings, and supporting AI/data partners) to extend legal and health services into Cambodia, ASEAN, and China-linked foreign-worker programs.
