The saying "10,000 steps a day" originated from a pedometer advertisement by the Japanese company Yamasa Tokei, which was named "Manpo-Kei". In 1964, when Japan was preparing for the Tokyo Olympics, the slogan "10,000 steps a day" was proposed to encourage people to improve their health by increasing their walking volume in preparation for the upcoming sporting event.
