KINUJO Announces Title Sponsorship of International Tennis Tournament 'KINUJO Tokyo Ariake International Open 2026' to Support Young Athletes Aiming for the Global Stage

KINUJO Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda City, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tomoaki Hamada), a company that operates a beauty appliance brand, announces its title sponsorship of the international tennis tournament 'KINUJO Tokyo Ariake International Open 2026' currently being held at Ariake Tennis Forest Park (Event Period: June 9–14, 2026).

Since its inception in 2006, this tournament has been a historic international event that has launched numerous top players onto the global stage. In the 2026 edition, young athletes from Japan and abroad are competing fiercely every day, aiming for the highest levels of international competition. As a brand that supports the desire to 'be oneself and be beautiful' in everyday life through beauty appliances, KINUJO will support the athletes striving to reach the global stage and the passion of everyone involved in making this tournament a success.

■ Background of the Title Sponsorship: The Shared Value of 'Daily Accumulation' in Sports and Beauty

The 'KINUJO Tokyo Ariake International Open' has served as a gateway to the world for many players, including Kimiko Date, Ayumi Morita, Misaki Doi, Yosuke Yonekura, and Sho Shimabukuro.

Behind the glamorous performances in sports lie immeasurable efforts, solitary training sessions, and countless hours of overcoming obstacles. These resonate deeply with KINUJO’s product development philosophy: 'small daily efforts accumulate to foster positive mindset and confidence.'

Just as athletes prepare their minds and bodies through daily training before stepping onto the court, KINUJO supports customers in grooming themselves and starting each day with confidence through products such as hair irons and hair dryers. Throughout the tournament, KINUJO will fully support the young athletes battling on the court as they strive to become future stars.

■ Message from the Representative Director of KINUJO Co., Ltd.

'The Tokyo Ariake International Open is a highly significant tournament where young athletes from Japan and abroad challenge themselves to reach the global stage. We are excited to see players emerge from Ariake to compete in Grand Slams and on the world stage. KINUJO is a brand that supports the desire to 'be oneself and be beautiful' in everyday life through beauty appliances. In both sports and beauty, the common thread is that 'daily accumulation leads to great achievements.' By supporting this tournament, we hope to contribute, even in a small way, to the athletes’ challenges and the passion of everyone involved in organizing this event.'
