Revive Co., Ltd. (Location: Click Kitahorie 1F, 1-15-11 Kitahorie, Nishi-ku, Osaka; Representative Director: Yosuke Ueno) announces the launch of "REVIVE WALK 2026 in HONOLULU," a project in which its representative, Yosuke Ueno, will challenge the Honolulu Marathon on December 13, 2026, by "walking the entire course."
A former high school baseball player, who was declared "wheelchair-bound for life" after a traffic accident at the age of 19 but regained his ability to walk through his unique training, will take on the ultimate challenge of walking 42.195km. This is a joint endeavor with his wife, Momoko, who supports her husband as his trainer. The entire journey of this challenge will be exclusively documented and broadcast on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. We are also broadly seeking sponsor companies who resonate with this project.
■ From rock bottom, to standing up again.
Yosuke Ueno was a former high school baseball player who dedicated 13 years to baseball, from second grade to his freshman year of college. At 19, when he was pouring his youth into baseball with the dream of becoming a professional baseball player, he suffered a traffic accident and was told he would "live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life."
From that day when he had no choice but to give up his dream, Ueno did not give up. He relentlessly pursued unique training and physical exploration, regaining his ability to walk. In December 2023, he established "ReviveGym Kitahorie," a gym specializing in inner muscles, in Kitahorie, Osaka. Introducing a "cognitive motor training machine" developed by a University of Tokyo professor, the gym offers unique training focused on inner muscles and the neuro-muscular system. It supports the physical conditioning of a wide range of people, including those with disabilities, those undergoing rehabilitation, health-conscious individuals in their 50s and 60s, and athletes aiming to improve their performance.
He has shared his experiences on YouTube channel "Suke-nii Channel," achieving a total of 35,000 followers and a peak of 4.02 million views.
■ A challenge walked hand-in-hand with his wife.
In this challenge, he has a strong partner: his wife, Momoko. As a trainer at ReviveGym Kitahorie, Momoko supports members' bodies daily, and for this Honolulu challenge, she will fully support Ueno's conditioning. His wife, who met him after the accident and continued to support him, will now guide her husband to the goal as his trainer. The 42km journey is a story of rebirth walked by two.
■ The reason for the challenge — not to run, but to walk the entire course.
"It's okay not to run. Walking 42km on my own feet to the finish line is the greatest challenge I can undertake right now."
He chose the Honolulu Marathon because he felt it was a "gathering place for people who don't give up," including people with disabilities and the elderly from all over the world. Instead of competing for a finish time, he will engrave his proof of rising from rock bottom by "walking the entire course," taking one step at a time.
