Matsumotokiyoshi Co., Ltd. (株式会社マツモトキヨシ, Kabushiki gaisha Matsumoto Kiyoshi) is a Japanese drugstore chain headquartered in Matsudo, Chiba Prefecture. It was founded in 1932 as Matsumoto Yakusho, a sole proprietorship operated by founder Kiyoshi Matsumoto in Matsudo, and it was incorporated as a company in 1954. In 1987, the company expanded its product offering, which previously only included drugs for people in ill health, to include cosmetics and personal care products. In June 2020, it opened a location in Wakayama Prefecture, becoming the first drugstore in Japan to open stores in every prefecture under the same brand.
