The origins of HADO
HADO began with a childhood dream of Hiroshi Fukuda, founder and CEO of meleap Inc. – to unleash powerful energy blasts like the heroes of Japanese manga and anime.
In 2014, that dream became reality, transforming imagination into HADO, the world’s first Augmented Reality (AR) techno-sport.

INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION THROUGH SPORT & TECHNOLOGY
HADO used as an educational tool
HADO is more than just a sport – it’s an innovative educational experience that combines Augmented Reality (AR), physical activity, teamwork, and strategic thinking to inspire young minds.
In Japan, institutions such as Shibaura Institute of Technology Junior High School in Tokyo have introduced HADO into their educational programs, recognizing its potential to engage students with emerging technologies while encouraging active learning.
Through HADO, students can develop essential skills such as communication, problem-solving, coordination, decision-making, and teamwork, all while discovering the exciting possibilities of AR technology.
By combining digital innovation with real-world movement, HADO creates an engaging environment where students don’t just learn about technology – they experience it firsthand.
BRINGING INNOVATIVE LEARNING TO NORTH MACEDONIA
At HADO Arena Skopje, our vision is to introduce HADO to schools and educational institutions across North Macedonia, creating new opportunities for students to learn, stay active, and grow together.
