The Launch of the Innovative Sports Wig®

The sports industry has always been about breaking barriers, and now, a groundbreaking product is making its debut: the Sports Wig® from Harhi Corporation. This product is designed with the intention of providing a stylish yet practical solution for individuals suffering from hair loss due to conditions such as alopecia or chemotherapy. Starting from May 25, 2025, the Sports Wig® will be available for purchase, marking a significant step forward for those looking to regain their confidence and enjoy sporting activities.

Creating Opportunities for Joy

Inspired by a desire to create joyful experiences for those affected by hair loss, Harhi Corporation's CEO, Junko Ikeno, envisioned a day filled with running and socializing while wearing the Sports Wig®. The company aims to be a beacon of hope for those who have been sidelined due to loss of hair.

This eyewear engages innovative features such as an unusual resin material that secures the wig to the scalp, allowing for comfort and minimal displacement, effectively to eliminate concerns over wig slippage during active pursuits. Furthermore, it incorporates seamless 3D knitting technology typically seen in high-performance sports apparel, greatly enhancing breathability and weight reduction.

Launch Event Highlights

To celebrate this monumental launch, Harhi Corporation will organize a special event at the iconic Imperial Palace, promoting the Sports Wig® as a conduit for renewed activity and self-expression for individuals affected by hair loss. Notable guests will include Mochida Koshihikari, a popular YouTuber who openly discussed her experience with alopecia, demonstrating the wig’s performance effectively during the event.

Additionally, renowned athletes will lead various running sessions, offering guidance and encouragement. The lineup includes Akihiro Konno, a former Japanese kickboxing champion with personal experience battling cancer, and Ayako Murai, Japan's first female Triple Crown athlete. Their presence not only assures participants of the sports wig’s reliability but also provides unwavering support for attendees looking to integrate into the fitness community once again.

The Face of Change

Ikuno Junko herself experienced hair loss due to alopecia in 2018. Having grown tired of the traditional wigs that constantly shifted during her activities, she felt compelled to design something innovative that allowed for both functionality and style. Her rich background in apparel design, coupled with her own experiences, fueled her passion to create a wig that would empower people to reclaim their vibrant, active lives.

A recent U.S. statistic posits that 0.1% to 0.2% of the population suffers from alopecia, translating to around 126,000 individuals in Japan alone. Additionally, roughly 209,000 undergo chemotherapy treatments, presenting a staggering estimation of 330,000 people facing hair loss. Conventional full wigs often utilize adhesive or double-sided tape for skin adhesion, rendering them impractical for sports activities where movement is essential. The launch of the Sports Wig® could very well revolutionize how individuals perceive hair accessories while engaging in physical activities.
