Living with six AI companions — a lifestyle, in the warmth of Japanese.
hiqoo.jp is a specialized Japanese-language store dedicated to AI companions that fit into your everyday life. We curate characters with personality, voice, and relationship, delivering hands-on tested products with onboarding, usage, and lifestyle integration guides. Note: all our AI companions speak only Japanese — these characters are designed for Japanese-speaking households, and this English page is provided to introduce the project itself.
Our Values
Designed for the Japanese household.
Honorific speech, regional dialects, child-friendly vocabulary, the temperature of eldercare — every nuance of the Japanese language is hand-designed by our editors, not auto-translated. For AI to be called a "member of the family", every word, voice, and relationship must be tuned to local life. We never skip that effort.
Working from day one.
We hands-on test every product we recommend, documenting pitfalls and workarounds. The shortest path from "arrives → boots → first conversation" is guaranteed by Japanese-language guides and pre-configured settings. Products that don't work are filtered out before they reach you.
Customers, agents, and editors raise the character together.
AI companions aren't something you buy and forget — they're raised together. Local agents you can meet, customer communities sharing the same character, and our editors delivering monthly updates form a triangle of care. "Neko-chan" and "Ani-chan" across Japan evolve every day.
Our Beliefs
- 01
Bringing AI into the family circle.
From the speakers in living rooms, from the partners in studies, from the storyteller for children — the voice of AI is quietly beginning to be heard. We want to take that first step of the era together with you.
- 02
Taking "it has to actually work" seriously.
No matter how refined a product is, if it doesn't work the day it arrives, it's just a box. We guarantee the shortest path from "arrives → boots → conversation" through Japanese-language guides and pre-configured settings.
- 03
You are not alone.
The joy of welcoming a new family member, and small everyday troubles — sharing them with others living with the same AI companion makes every day a little warmer. Let's share the learning, the laughter, and everything in between.
The era when AI becomes a "member of the family" — bringing the entry point to homes across Japan.
In 2026, edge AI hardware reached affordable price points, and cloud AI quality finally caught up with the nuance of the Japanese language. Where these two cross, AI is quietly transforming from a "useful tool" into "a member of the family".
We are the store at the entry point of that transition. Beyond delivering products, we run an agent network of people you can meet in your own neighborhood, a Japanese-language support system answering "it doesn't work / I don't know / I'd like to talk to someone", and a community for those living with the same character — all in-house.
Neko-chan, Ani-chan, Dr. Kotaro, Granny — until these companions reach the living rooms, kitchens, children's rooms, and bedside tables of care across Japan, we keep running.
