Shigeru Arakawa
For 25 years, Shigeru practised traditional Japanese ear cleaning — the mimikaki craft passed down over a thousand years. He helped design HaloraCo around a single idea: keep the direction Japan always used, and replace the scraping edge with something soft.
"A cotton swab works against the ear. A mimikaki works with it. We kept the direction and removed the scrape — that is the entire invention."
