# In Japan, humanoid “Miyazawa Noa” is due to join Kakuichi as a new recruit in April 2027

> Japanese company Kakuichi unpacked the humanoid robot “Miyazawa Noa” and ran it in front of its employees, according to a company press release relayed by the site Robotstart.

Published on 2026-10-19

The presentation took place on 6 October 2026 at a Kakuichi Kenzai Kogyo factory. Employees of Kakuichi Kenzai Kogyo and Kakuichi Seisakusho attended.

For now, the robot works mostly by remote control or with basic programs. According to Kakuichi's press release, AI autonomy has yet to be developed.

Kakuichi plans to welcome “Miyazawa Noa” as a new recruit at its entrance ceremony in April 2027, as it announced in August.

The company says the terms “new recruit” and “hiring” are specific to the project and do not correspond to any employment contract in the legal sense.
