Kinko's Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Hiroki Watanabe; hereinafter 'Kinko's') is promoting a regional co-creation project together with Toyotsu Fighting Eagles Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya, Aichi; President: Hideo Naruse), which operates the B-League professional basketball team 'Fighting Eagles Nagoya' (hereinafter 'FE Nagoya'), to provide children with opportunities for social experience. On April 26, 2026 (Sunday), at FE Nagoya's home final game (vs. Nagasaki Velca), a special booth called 'FE KIDS★SHOP supported by Kinko's' will be set up to sell original goods planned and designed by the children themselves.
In this initiative, children are provided with the opportunity to experience the 'reality of work' through a series of processes: product planning, design, production, and sales. On the day of the event, the children themselves will also try their hand at customer service and sales as staff.
This project is a community co-creation education program that combines Kinko's expertise in manufacturing and printing services with the regional connections that FE Nagoya has fostered through sports. Children experience the series of processes—product planning, design, production, and sales—to give shape to their own ideas. At this home final game, the completed original goods will be sold at a special booth, and children will engage in customer service and sales through communication with visitors. This also leads to an opportunity to feel the joy of products being picked up and the response of selling.
Efforts in the 2025-26 Season: This project started in the 2023-24 season and is now in its third year. This season, in addition to students from the FE Nagoya school, children from the general public also participated, learning product planning and design through a total of three workshops. In March 2026, for the first time, they stepped outside the game venue to challenge in-store sales at the Kinko's Fushimi store. Furthermore, sales were conducted on Kinko's online site, providing an opportunity to deliver the children's ideas to basketball fans and FE Nagoya fans nationwide, not just in the Nagoya area. Through these efforts, the range of activities in which children are proactively involved is expanding.
