Kosugi Real Estate Holdings Sponsors 'Kumamoto Student Sports Festival' with 340 Students Participating, Creating a Platform for Student-Corporate Exchange

Kosugi Real Estate Holdings Co., Ltd. sponsored the 'Kumamoto Student Sports Festival' (hosted by Kyoei Core) and participated in competition management.

## About the Kumamoto Student Sports Festival / Background

The 'Kumamoto Student Sports Festival' is an event hosted by Kyoei Core, held for the first time with the aim of creating an interactive space where students from universities and vocational schools can connect beyond institutional boundaries.

Since the pandemic, face-to-face interaction among students has decreased, and student clubs have faced financial constraints on travel and activities. Against this backdrop, the event was conceived from the desire to create a relaxed, accessible gathering place for students to connect. Additionally, inspired by the wish for students to enjoy their university life in Kumamoto, create lasting memories with friends, and release their youthful energy, the idea of holding a sports festival was born.

Targeting university and vocational school students across Kumamoto Prefecture, the event welcomed participants from diverse clubs and circles, regardless of whether they were sports or cultural groups. Through competitions, participants deepened their camaraderie and created new opportunities for networking. After the events, a BBQ meal featuring locally sourced Kumamoto ingredients was held, further strengthening bonds among participants.

Looking ahead, the organizers aim to transition to student-led executive committees and establish the festival as an annual regional event.

## Event Format

Teams consisted of 5 to 10 members, allowing participation not only from clubs and circles but also from academic departments and friend groups. Multiple team entries from a single organization were permitted, enabling broad student participation.

The program included classic sports day events such as 'Eye of the Typhoon,' 'Four-Way Tug-of-War,' 'Ball Toss,' 'Obstacle Relay,' and 'Competitive Relay,' along with collaborative team activities like 'True or False Quizzes,' designed to be enjoyable through teamwork.

## Event Day Highlights

On the day of the event, a collaboration with TV Kumamoto (TKU)'s program 'Wakamono Land' and the participation of the comedy duo 'Tosa Brothers' as special supporters greatly energized the venue.

A total of 340 students participated, with employees from sponsoring companies joining in, creating a vibrant and enthusiastic atmosphere.

Highlights of the event will be featured in a special segment on 'Wakamono Land' (TV Kumamoto/TKU), scheduled to air on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at 4:30 PM.

## Sponsorship Rationale and Our Vision

Kosugi Real Estate Holdings supports the festival's mission of creating memorable experiences for students and enhancing interaction among students and between students and companies. This shared vision led us to sponsor the event and participate in the sports festival.

Our participation, led by young employees, allowed us to engage with students on equal footing. It also served as a valuable opportunity to introduce our company's initiatives and presence to students.

Moving forward, we will continue to contribute to regional development by nurturing connections with the younger generation who will lead the future, while strengthening our ties with the local community.
