Comment from Shigeya Koda, Representative of KohMori Co., Ltd.

We began supporting the Apostles, the American football team of my alma mater, International Christian University, two years ago, and this year marks the third year. I feel it is very meaningful to be able to support the challenges of the players in student sports. Through our activities to date, I have gained a deeper understanding of the reality of student sports, where athletes balance competition and academics, and my desire to create an environment where athletes can challenge themselves more has grown even stronger.

Going forward, I aim to create value that transcends the boundaries between university sports and business, and to contribute to the entire sports world.

Comment from Masami Kitagawa, Head Coach of the ICU American Football Team Apostles

I am Kitagawa, the head coach of the ICU American Football Team Apostles. Our team currently belongs to the Kanto Division 2 league and is working daily towards promotion to Division 1 (BIG8) this season.

Since the team's founding, we have maintained a tradition of student-led management, and our philosophy is to provide a place for developing human resources who can succeed in society through team sports.

On behalf of the team, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to KohMori for agreeing with the Apostles' philosophy and providing support through a sponsorship agreement.

We hope that this connection will further expand learning opportunities beyond the realm of competition.

We will use the support carefully to improve the environment for team activities and aim to pioneer a new era.
