Brand Story

Born in 1973

ROIHI-TSUBOKO™ is Japan’s first round-shaped warming Patch developed by Nichiban Co., Ltd. in 1973. Inspired by the concept of acupressure points in Oriental medicine, the small round design allows precise application to stiff or painful spots.

A long-selling product loved in Japanese households for over 50 years since its launch. Nichiban, founded in 1918, is a long-established manufacturer that has introduced many trusted brands such as "Cellotape®" and "Battlewin®." Among them, ROIHI-TSUBOKO™ is supported across generations as a product that combines "effective warming," "easy to apply," and "discreet appearance."

Currently, users are increasing not only in Japan but also across Asia and worldwide, and it is internationally known as "ROIHI-TSUBOKO™."
