Move Sport Brand Signs Advisory Contract with Volleyball Player Nanami Seki

Descente Japan Ltd. (Headquarters: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; President: Tsuyoshi Shimada) has announced the signing of an advisory contract for its 'Move Sport' brand, effective May 2026, for sportswear, supports, and other items with women's volleyball player Nanami Seki (Club: Busto Arsizio, Italy), a leading Japanese setter active in Italy's Serie A1. During her high school years, Seki participated in the Haruko Volley (All Japan High School Volleyball Championship) and, after graduation, led the prestigious Toray Arrows as the main setter. She has also been active on the Japanese national team and, starting in 2024, has been challenging herself in the top-tier volleyball league, Italy's Serie A. In her first year, she gained experience with the powerhouse team Imoco Conegliano, which won all titles including the Club World Championship. From 2025, at her new club Busto Arsizio, she has demonstrated her presence as the main setter with quick tosses utilizing the middle, significantly contributing to her team's victories. Selected for the Japanese national team again in fiscal 2026, she is expected to play a key role as the playmaker for the team aiming for a medal at the Los Angeles Olympics. With its concept of supporting the next step for people involved in sports through functionality and uplifting design, 'Move Sport' resonates with Seki's attitude and will support her endeavors by supplying sportswear. Furthermore, the brand will engage in product development incorporating Seki's advice and conduct promotions such as in-store sales, aiming to widely convey the charm of volleyball and the joy of sports through her image, while further enhancing the brand value of 'Move Sport'. [Comment from Nanami Seki] 'I am delighted to have Descente Japan Ltd.'s 'Move Sport' brand as my partner. The products, with features meticulously designed for athletes, share the same goal as my position (setter), which demands impeccable precision in setting, and that is why I decided to sign this contract. I believe that the moments when athletes can exert their performance to the absolute limit are infinitely 'cool' and 'beautiful', and I think 'Move Sport' products are supporters that can truly create those moments. From now on, I will strive with high aspirations to achieve the best performance ever, together.'
