Osamu Yada, the personal trainer for Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, has launched a Kickstarter campaign for his revolutionary "KINETIC LAB-LINK" device and AI coaching app. The technology, developed over 35 years, brings elite-level body recognition and optimization capabilities previously reserved for top professional athletes to the general public, including student athletes, trainers, and fitness enthusiasts.

Why it matters

Yada's "BC Total Balance System" focuses on optimizing the body's "kinetic chain" and aligning disrupted biological rhythms, which he credits as a key factor in Yamamoto's success. By democratizing this advanced sports science technology, KINETIC LAB-LINK aims to empower a wider audience to improve their physical performance and well-being.

The details

The KINETIC LAB-LINK device and app utilize a specialized "Kinetic Lab Sensor" to quantify body distortions and analyze their root causes. It then employs a unique treatment approach and tailored exercises to gently address issues from the superficial to deep layers of the body. The system's AI-powered features translate complex biomechanical data into simple, actionable advice for users.

  • The Kickstarter campaign for KINETIC LAB-LINK launched on March 12, 2026.
  • Four order cutoff dates are scheduled between early March and late July 2026.
  • Shipping of rewards to backers will begin sequentially starting in July 2026.
