## Sponsorship Comment
Masahiro Izumisawa, President and Representative Executive Officer, Levtech Inc.
Last year, we specially sponsored 'EVO Japan' for the first time, and I was deeply moved by the excitement and passion generated by players and fans from all over the world. Gaming is a creative industry that creates enthusiasm globally, and the stage is supported by engineers and creators with skills and an adventurous spirit.
For this second year of sponsorship, we will start a new project 'VRoad' to create opportunities for creators to challenge the world, going beyond just supporting the tournament. Hoping that EVO Japan becomes a new step for all challengers, we will continue to support them with all our might.
