Miki Review and Profile

MIKI Corporation, formally Miki Shoji Co., Ltd., is a Japanese health and wellness direct-selling company founded by Toshikazu Kadota. The business began in Osaka in 1964 as an importer of textiles and tableware and was incorporated in January 1966. MIKI gradually shifted its focus toward nutrition and wellness, introducing its best-known product, MIKI Prune Extract, in November 1972. The company remains headquartered in Osaka, with its Tokyo headquarters located in Shibuya Hikarie. As of January 2026, MIKI reported approximately 220 employees, Ã'Ã'Â¥60 million in capital, and Jun Kadota as president.

MIKI built its reputation around MIKI Prune, a concentrated prune extract produced from California-grown prunes. The company established its own prune orchard in California in 1990 and has continued developing nutritional products around vitamins, minerals, protein, dietary fiber and other food ingredients. MIKI's current nutritional line includes MIKI Prune Extract, MIKI ECKO37, MIKI BIO-C, MIKI Protein95 Supreme, MIKI AspriPlus, MIKI FlowLife Trinity, MIKI G6, MIKI Joint Beauty and MIKI Glucoade L. The company also markets cosmetics and household products, including the Biodroga skin-care line, hair-care products and household cleaners. MIKI Prune Extract was certified as a Japanese Space Food by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in 2013.

MIKI distributes its products primarily through an established direct-selling agency system rather than conventional retail stores. Consumers who use the products can become sales agents and introduce them directly to other customers. The World Federation of Direct Selling Associations identified Miki Shoji as one of Japan's established domestic direct-selling companies, and MIKI remains a full corporate member of the Japan Direct Selling Association. The company's own corporate profile identifies its customers as MIKI sales agents, with the English-language company information historically listing agents throughout Japan, Taiwan and Malaysia.
