The concept of walking 10,000 steps a day originated as a marketing campaign rather than a scientifically-backed health goal.

This idea was introduced in Japan around the time of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.

A Japanese company called Yamasa created a pedometer named "Manpo-kei," which translates to "10,000-step metre".

The choice of 10,000 steps was partly due to the fact that the Japanese character for 10,000 (万) resembles a person walking, making it a catchy and visually appealing figure for marketing purposes​.
