all the possibilities of laughter, with everyone, with you.
You can share and rediscover the power of laughter.

From smiles to laughs,
we want to create a space filled with all kinds of laughter.
Yoshimoto has always believed in the power of laughter,
and we have poured everything up until now, to this.
Hand in hand with the talents and technologies of the future.
