Hibiki Yoshida Profile
Born in 2002, from Shizuoka Prefecture.
Born on August 20, 2002, in Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture. He began track and field in junior high school and distinguished himself as a long-distance runner at Tokai University Shizuoka Shoyo High School.
After entering Tokai University, he garnered attention with a strong run on the 5th leg of the Hakone Ekiden in his first year. He later transferred to Soka University, where he honed his competitive skills with a focus on ekiden races. In the 101st Hakone Ekiden (2025), he made a 13-position overtake in the prestigious 2nd leg, setting a new Japanese all-time record of 1 hour, 5 minutes, and 43 seconds. After graduating from university, he continues to challenge himself on a wide range of stages, including marathons and trail running, with a global perspective as a professional runner affiliated with Sun Belx.
<Hibiki Yoshida's Comment>
I have been a long-time user of many Phiten products, especially the "Phiten Power Tape," since my Soka University days. Additionally, all rooms in our dormitory were treated with "Nano-Metax Coating," so I realized from my student days that I could maintain my condition without accumulating fatigue. A major characteristic of Phiten products is that you can feel the change from the moment you apply or use them. I believe this is necessary to aim for even higher levels as a professional runner, which led to this contract. I am very excited now, as I believe that with even greater support from Phiten, I will be able to achieve even higher performance beyond my current limits. I will do my best to show you a new style of running, not only in marathons but also in ekiden and trail running.

<Hibiki Yoshida's Product Comment>
This is an indispensable item not only for daily training but also for races. By applying it not only to my legs but also to my arms, shoulder blades, and shoulders, I can keep my upper body relaxed. Also, when I apply it around the sternocleidomastoid muscles, temples, and cheeks, I feel less clenching and a sense of loosening from my neck to my back. In marathons, which last over 2 hours, relaxation is an important factor to avoid wasting energy, so this is very helpful.
Titan Chain Necklace
Price: \17,600 (tax included)
Size: 40cm

<Hibiki Yoshida's Product Comment>
When I wear the Titan Chain Necklace, I notice a difference in the movement around my shoulders and shoulder blades. It feels lighter when worn, and it also creates smoother arm swings. While legs are undoubtedly important for running, efficiently converting upper body movement into propulsion is also a crucial element, and being able to do so without strain is essential for long races like marathons. It's a necessary item for maintaining my natural form without hindering movement.
Kenko Yoku Series
Kenko Yoku Shower (Set of 2)
Monthly fee: \4,400 (tax included)

<Hibiki Yoshida's Product Comment>
I use it for daily muscle relaxation and conditioning, and I like that it's easy to carry around for trips. I also have a routine of applying the "Kenko Yoku Shower" to the soles of my feet for about 30 seconds before practice or races. This changes my sense of ground contact, allowing me to use the ball of my foot firmly to gain rebound from the ground, making my footwork smoother and allowing me to move my pitch faster. It's a preparation I always do, whether running on roads, tracks, cross-country, or trails.

<Hibiki Yoshida's Product Comment>
With the Nano-Metax Coating, my shoes feel incredibly light. And when I put my feet in, I feel increased flexibility in my legs, and I can grip the ground firmly with my footing. I haven't used it in an actual marathon yet, but the feeling during practice is so good that I expect to maintain my running form even in the latter stages of races exceeding 42km. I want many people to experience this sensation.
