[Panther Ogata] Awarded the 9th Super Daddy Award

Akatsuki Media Studio (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Shoichiro Hiwachi) announces that Takahiro Ogata, a comedian affiliated with Yoshimoto Kogyo and MC of the YouTube channel "Thank You! Japan's Most Positive Child-Rearing Support Group," has been awarded the 9th Super Daddy Award. This award was prompted by his contributions on the aforementioned channel. What is the Super Daddy Award: The Super Daddy Award selects the most super dad of the year annually. SDA researches "fathers" who were active in various fields throughout the year and deliberates to select recipients. Past recipients include professional soccer player Yoshito Okubo in 2017, calligrapher Souun Takeda in 2018, Rugby World Cup Japan national team player Isileli Nakajima in 2019, Tomoyasu Ishii, President of Ishii Food Co., Ltd., in 2020, Hideu Uda and Hifumi Abe, who won silver medals in triathlon at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics and gold medals in judo (60kg class) at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, respectively, in 2021. In 2022, Shuichi Gonda, goalkeeper for the Japan national team in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and affiliated with Shimizu S-Pulse, was selected. We hope that the awards received by these super dads active in various fields will inspire fathers nationwide to actively participate in childcare, leading to further momentum for gender equality. Reason for Takahiro Ogata's Award: Takahiro Ogata of Panther actively engages in child-rearing amidst his busy work schedule. He also actively disseminates information related to child-rearing, having launched the YouTube channel "Thank You! Japan's Most Positive Child-Rearing Support Group" in December 2025. This lifestyle of Takahiro Ogata as a father perfectly aligns with the "Work, Family, Childcare" philosophy promoted by Super Daddy-ism, resonating with many fathers in our association and leading to his selection. What is "Thank You! Japan's Most Positive Child-Rearing Support Group": "Since there's no 'right answer' in child-rearing, let's create a place where we can teach and share with each other." The Ogata couple themselves have a daughter in the second grade and are currently in the midst of raising her. While there are daily joys and delights, they also face endless worries and anxieties. There is no absolute "right answer" to child-rearing. Each family has its own way of doing things and its own form of happiness. Therefore, this channel will not be a place for one-way information dissemination. We sometimes ask viewers for advice and think, "We want to be taught by you" regarding the wonderful ideas from each family. We will also share our worries and failures without hiding anything, so please lend us your wisdom. Through Mr. Ogata's always full-effort and unpretentious personality, we aim to build a warm community where both dads and moms can feel reassured that "it's not just us," and can think and grow together. Akatsuki Media Studio is responsible for video production and YouTube operation. [Channel Outline]: Channel Name: Thank You!
