We build your helmet by hand. We each have a specific job, yet all of us know every step that goes into building it, and how our individual jobs fit into the final result that you wear.

  • ON the RECORD: Michio Arai, President and CEO, Arai Helmet
    SPORTBIKE STANDARD/NAKED CRUISER DUAL-SPORT/ADVENTURE TOURING/SPORT-TOURING OFF-ROAD/MOTOCROSS SCOOTERS You are here: Home / People / ON THE RECORD: Michio Arai, President and CEO, Arai Helmet, LTD ON THE RECORD: Michio Arai, President and CEO, Arai Helmet, LTD A rare interview with the man who helped shape the modern motorcycle helmet. May 6, 2015 By Matthew Miles 7 Comments My father didn’t go to college. He didn’t even finish high school. He was the son of a hat maker in Tokyo, and his hobby was motorcycling. He rode a motorcycle with no helmet—just a straw hat. In those days, there weren’t any motorcycle helmets. My father used to say, “I am a good rider.” I don’t think he was, but he loved to ride a motorcycle. I like motorcycles, too. I really like motorcycles. During World War II, Japanese soldiers were sent to Southeast Asia, and it was really hot. They needed something for heat isolation, but at the same time it had to have ventilation. My father came up with something new. He cut bamboo and made a cage. Over that, he put something like a washcloth. The army liked it, which was good for him; he didn’t get drafted. After the war, he tried other businesses. He liked to invent things, not just making, buying, and selling. The first headgear he could think of was for construction and mining workers. They needed protection. In those days, even the construction helmet was new. He had to make everything. My father could have survived by making helmets for construction and mining workers.
