25.6% of Marital Hunters Say They've Reached Their 'Limit': Naco-do Research Institute Releases Survey on Mental Health in Marriage Hunting

On April 20, 2026, the Naco-do Research Institute, a research organization of Iromono Inc. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ryo Yamada), which operates the personal marriage hunting service 'naco-do', announced the results of its '2026 Survey on Mental Health and Marriage Hunting' conducted on 800 single individuals, including 500 currently hunting and 300 who have stopped.

In Part 2 of Vol. 1 of this survey, the institute reports on the correlation between self-understanding, measured by the proprietary index 'Personal Marriage Hunting Score,' and the sense of continuing marriage hunting.

Key Findings 1. Self-understanding is Key to Continuation: Based on the 'Personal Marriage Hunting Score,' individuals currently hunting scored an average of 16.82, while those who stopped scored 14.02, showing a difference of 2.80 points. 2. One in Four Feel Marriage Hunting Fatigue: 74.8% of individuals currently hunting feel fatigued, and 25.6% stated they feel they have reached their 'limit' or want to quit. 3. Demand for Self-Analysis Support: In addition to matching services, there is an equal demand for 'support to understand and organize one's inner self.'
