■ What is KAI Challenged Athlete Team?
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, he is also involved in in-house training and product development, and is actively involved in awareness-raising activities to raise awareness of parasports through events and trial sessions. To date, he has held trial sessions and parasports championships in collaboration with companies, local governments, and educational institutions both inside and outside the prefecture, mainly in Honjo City, Saitama Prefecture, and has had a total of over 1,500 people experience parasports.
