Kokuyo supports the activities of Certified NPO Kids Door, which provides support to children who lack adequate learning environments due to various circumstances. In alignment with this mission, Kokuyo has been continuously donating stationery since 2024. As part of this ongoing effort, 408 randoseru backpacks were donated in March 2026. The "Rarokku Randoseru" donated this time were produced before March 2025, when new production of randoseru was scheduled to end, and were carefully stored in warehouses. As "assets that support the learning of the next generation," by delivering them to children in need, we aim to alleviate anxieties for the new school year and support the healthy growth of children. Based on the positive feedback, a second donation is planned for the summer.
The "Campus" brand, which is part of Kokuyo's stationery business and supports students' ways of learning, has a mission to embrace each individual's desire to "write" and "learn," and to support that step forward. Through this donation, we hope to provide an opportunity for as many children as possible to engage in learning positively.

"Campus" has supported the "learning" of many people. We sincerely hope that these randoseru will become partners for children to open up new worlds, ensuring that their learning opportunities are not compromised by their circumstances. We will continue to provide multifaceted support towards the realization of a society where everyone can learn positively.
