Toyama, the hemVR founder, was born and raised in Nagoya, Japan before leaving for his Bachelor’s Degree in the U.S. and China. 

Currently, Toyama lives in Sweden with his family of 3 kids & a rabbit. He loves to read, reading 100+ books per year on top of thousands of Manga. He also loves working out in the gym during his free time. 

Toyama has over 2 decades of experience in running various businesses. During his free time, he dabbled in VR headsets. As a workout enthusiast, he eventually fell in love with VR gym training. Yet, he couldn’t find a product that could keep him comfortable with the headset on throughout his workout sessions. He also often got motion sickness using existing VR headsets. In 2016, he decided to start his own VR Bike Project to solve these problems. 

Toyama hired a team of Unity programmers, plugin programmers, electronic engineers, 2D/3D designers, 3D printing designers, factory inspectors, & patent lawyers from over 10 different countries. Finally, after 4 years of development, hemVR was brought to life.
