【comment】
It’s been about a year since I last competed, but I’ve been practicing and training a lot since then. In addition, the women’s def futsal players who belong to the KAI Challenged Athlete Team won the world championship, which gave me a good motivation. I will continue to do my best to become number one in the world!

[画像2: ]

In April 2019, we launched the KAI Challenged Athlete Team, a group of para-athletes who not only overcome disabilities but also continue to challenge themselves to reach even greater heights, with the philosophy of being the most challenging athlete team in Japan.
There are currently nine members, and they are active in the following sports: “Deaf futsal,” “Deaf soccer,” “Judo for the deaf,” “Wheelchair basketball,” and “Wheelchair badminton.”
While continuing to train and compete at a high level as a top athlete, I am also involved in in-house training instructors and product development, as well as actively working to raise awareness of parasports through events and trial sessions. To date, we have held trial sessions and parasports championships mainly in Honjo City, Saitama Prefecture, in collaboration with companies, local governments, and educational institutions within and outside the prefecture, and more than 1,200 people have had the opportunity to experience parasports.
