Our company AokiAthlete SocietyWe are cooperating with the management of the (AS) secretariat. Since AS was founded in 2010/8, we have been receiving calls from Mr. Tamesue Dai, the representative director of AS, to support athletes and help with social contribution projects by athletes. Together with Tamesue Dai (athletics), Asahi Kentaro (beach volleyball), Asahara Nobuharu (track and field), Matsushita Koji (table tennis), and Nagatsuka Tomohiro (bicycle), they have held study sessions with athletes and developed support for disaster-stricken areas.

‍RecentlySports AsiaWe have started a project called, and we are carrying out international cooperation activities with Japanese athletes. While the basic policy of the activity is to “produce as many Asian athletes as possible for the Tokyo Olympics,” we aim for international exchange and international cooperation among athletes by dispatching top Japanese athletes to Asian countries and inviting Olympic Committee members and athletes from Asian countries to Japan. The countries we have visited so far are as follows.

・2014: Bhutan and Nepal
・2015: Bhutan, Nepal, India
・2016: Bhutan, Nepal, Laos, Cambodia

I think sports will become more and more exciting in preparation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and I believe that the range of international cooperation that Japan can do in Asia will also expand through such sports. Kadinche is a company that develops technologies such as VR and IT, and I always think that about 20% of the members' labor should be directed towards such international cooperation and social contribution projects.
