Kiroshi

Kiroshi Opticals, sometimes referred to as Matsushima-Kiroshi Optics or simply the Kiroshi Group, is a Japanese corporation that originated in the mountainous region of Nagano Prefecture. Though relatively small compared to the massive conglomerates that dominate the global economy, Kiroshi has carved out a powerful niche for itself as the world’s leading producer of optical cyberware. The company is composed of two main divisions: Kiroshi Optics, which focuses on visual implant technologies, and Kiroshi General Cybernetics, which handles broader cybernetic enhancements. Together, they’re known simply as the Kiroshi Group.
What sets Kiroshi apart isn’t just the quality of its implants—it’s their precision, reliability, and innovative design, all of which have been refined over decades. The company’s roots actually trace back to a traditional watch manufacturer in Kamisuwa, established long before they entered the cyberware business. In the 1980s, they began to expand beyond timepieces, and by 2013, they officially rebranded from “Kiro-shiya” to “Kiroshi” to reflect their broader technological ambitions.
Their breakthrough came when they partnered with JAB and Kenjiri Technology to launch an orbital manufacturing facility. This move allowed them to produce optical components in zero-gravity environments—ideal for crafting the kinds of ultra-precise equipment used in cyberoptics. With this advantage, Kiroshi quickly rose to dominance in the optics field, rolling out products like the Optishield HUD system, the Opti-Flash anti-dazzle protection, and advanced remote cyber-cams.
By the early 2020s, Kiroshi had solidified its position as a global leader in cyberoptics. They maintained strong ties with Kenjiri, even establishing a joint design firm in orbit to remain close to the manufacturing process. At the same time, they were aggressively expanding into markets across Asia, particularly in Hong Kong and Shanghai, where counterfeit Kiroshi products were being produced. To protect their brand and market share, Kiroshi took direct action to dominate these regions.
Kiroshi's corporate footprint isn’t limited to Japan. While their headquarters remain in Nagano, they’ve established major offices in cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Seattle, Night City, Washington, D.C., Hong Kong, and Singapore. Their products are available nearly everywhere, from massive electronics chains to back-alley ripperdocs.
By 2077, Kiroshi had further entrenched itself as a powerhouse in the cyberware industry, particularly in optical tech. Most of their manufacturing had shifted to their orbital stations, and they had doubled down on their marketing efforts. They began heavily promoting their implants through pop culture, sponsoring musicians and celebrities—most notably the Japanese idol group Us Cracks, whose distinct and flashy eye implants are instantly recognizable. Around this time, Kiroshi also announced their work on a new generation of tetrachromatic optic implants, claiming these would allow users to see an expanded spectrum of light, pushing the boundaries of human perception even further.
All told, Kiroshi Opticals has grown from a humble watchmaker into a global leader in cyberoptics, defined by cutting-edge technology, a deep commitment to orbital manufacturing, and a savvy understanding of branding in a hyperconnected, cyber-enhanced world.
