Shizuoka Blue Revs Players Visit Hashimoto Gumi Headquarters

Hashimoto Gumi Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yaizu City, Shizuoka Prefecture; President/CEO: Masanori Hashimoto) recently hosted Justin Sangster and Yanco AuCamp of the Shizuoka Blue Revs, for whom Hashimoto Gumi serves as an official sponsor, at its headquarters.

This visit was part of the annual end-of-season greeting conducted for sponsor companies.

On the day of the visit, discussions were held in a friendly atmosphere with President Yamaya and other company officials, covering reflections on the past season and future outlooks.

## Common Ground as Supporting Roles

Both players who visited play the 'lock' position, carrying a crucial role in supporting the team during scrums and lineouts.

This 'power to support' resonates with our company's work in supporting regional and social infrastructure, providing an opportunity to feel shared values despite being in different fields—competition versus corporate activity.

## A Visit from Generations Connecting the Present and Future

Furthermore, having both the主力 star Sangster and the promising young player AuCamp visit provided a sense of both current strength and future possibilities.

The way they support the team across generations overlaps with our company’s focus on human resources development and technical succession, reinforcing the importance of connecting values to the next generation.

## Sharing Values Through Exchange

This exchange served as an opportunity to reaffirm the importance of both the 'power to support' and the 'power to connect to the future.' We look forward to the continued success of the Shizuoka Blue Revs, and we will continue our own path as a company that supports the local community.

## Comment from CEO Masanori Hashimoto

'Hashimoto Gumi (TEAM HASHIMOTO) started supporting the Shizuoka Blue Revs because I resonated with President Yamaya’s words about 'aiming for the world.'

His belief that the most important thing to compete globally is creating an environment where individual players (employees) can shine, regardless of nationality or age, matches ours perfectly.

TEAM HASHIMOTO will continue to support the Shizuoka Blue Revs!'

## Future Outlook

Hashimoto Gumi will continue to contribute to the development and revitalization of local sports culture through its support for the Shizuoka Blue Revs.
