Scenes from the 2nd Drone Fight World Championship
The Japan Drone Fight Association (Representative Director: Yukio Kanomata) is developing activities to spread the "peaceful use of drones" to the world through "Drone Fight," a sport originating in Japan that uses toy drones.
To allow more individuals to participate easily, we have launched a subscription service for individuals starting at 660 yen per month. Furthermore, as a launch campaign, we are offering a special perk where all registrants will receive one toy drone for free.
While drones are often associated with military and surveillance images, this initiative to spread the peaceful values of "play," "education," and "communication" is drawing attention from both inside and outside Japan.
■ From ages 5 to 79. A "peaceful sport" where everyone can compete under the same rules.
Drone Fight is a highly safe competition using toy drones, and its biggest feature is that anyone can participate regardless of age, gender, nationality, or presence of a disability.
In past tournaments, participants ranging from 5 to 79 years old have competed in the same bracket, making it a highly talked-about "ultra-multigenerational inclusive sport" rarely seen in other sports.
It overturns the stereotypes of "drones = dangerous" and "drones = military," spreading a drone culture as "technology that makes everyone smile."
■ August 8th designated as "Enjoy Toy Drones Day"
Making it a movement originating in Japan to spread peaceful use.
To promote the safe and peaceful use of toy drones, our association has registered August 8th as an anniversary called "Enjoy Toy Drones Day."
■ Hosting the World Championship. A "peaceful drone culture" spreading from Japan to the world.
In 2025 and February 2026, we will host an online "Drone Fight World Championship" where players from around the world will participate. Such efforts to internationally broadcast drones as "play, competition, and culture" are practically unprecedented globally and are attracting attention as a new movement originating in Japan.
This activity, which delivers drone utilization entirely unrelated to military or surveillance to the world, is gaining international interest, with increasing inquiries from educational institutions, local governments, and overseas organizations.
■ New Service: Launch of individual subscription (660 yen/month)
Under the theme of "bringing peaceful use into daily life," creating a system anyone can join.
To make Drone Fight more accessible and enjoyable, we have newly launched a subscription service for individuals.
