At King's Hawaiian, since our founding in Hawaii in 1950, we have cherished the spirit of 'OHANA (family)' and passed down our desire to 'connect people.'

We believe that sports have the power to deepen the bonds of family and community. We are deeply honored to form a partnership with Yokohama F. Marinos, a leading club in Japan.

Through this initiative, we will share joy with children pursuing their dreams, their families, and all our fans and supporters, much like sharing a single delicious taste, and together support the development of youth sports, which will shape the next generation.

■Comment from Akihiro Nakayama, President of Yokohama Marinos Co., Ltd.

We are deeply grateful for the support we will receive from KING'S HAWAIIAN as an official sponsor. On behalf of the club, I would like to express our sincere gratitude. We are also very happy to welcome you into the Marinos Family.

Since its founding, KING'S HAWAIIAN has cherished the spirit of 'OHANA (family)' and has made 'bread that connects people' the core of its brand, earning widespread support both domestically and internationally as a brand that connects dining tables and communities with smiles.

Last year, with the desire that children pursuing dreams, and the families and communities that support them, would share joy as if sharing a single loaf of bread, you provided title sponsorship for the 'F. Marinos CUP U-10'.

The many smiles and connections born through that tournament were also very meaningful to us, and it became a major catalyst for the development of this partnership.

At Yokohama F. Marinos, we value connecting players, staff, partner companies, fans, supporters, and local communities as the 'Marinos Family' through soccer.

With this partnership as a starting point, we will continue to strive to be a club that further expands this circle and delivers 'dreams' and 'vitality' to more people.
