Mankun Mankun Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sado City) has recently concluded a sponsorship agreement for K-1 fighter Takeshi's retirement match, providing support.
■ The Origin of Our Founding and Our Relationship with Takeshi
Our company started when our Chairman and CEO were involved as an owner and an outsourced video editor, respectively, on the YouTube channel "Lucky Punch Channel," operated by former K-1 fighter Tsubasa Horii.
From that time, being deeply involved in the martial arts industry, we developed a connection with Takeshi, building a relationship of trust through appearances on YouTube and other engagements.
Furthermore, an apprentice of our Chairman has had a title match experience with Takeshi, making Takeshi a special presence for our company.
Given this background, it is no exaggeration to say that "our company would not exist today without Takeshi," and this sponsorship is a tangible expression of our gratitude.
■ Congratulations to the World Champion
We sincerely congratulate you on this achievement.
Congratulations, truly, to the World Champion.
■ Sponsorship Effects and Recruitment Reinforcement
Through this sponsorship activity, our company's recognition has significantly improved, and job applications have rapidly increased.
Our on-site purchasing business operates nationwide, which sometimes involves work styles requiring hotel stays. Despite such conditions, our offer acceptance rate remains extremely high, exceeding 95%.
While our offer decline rate previously reached approximately 50%, our recruitment situation has vastly improved due to the sponsorship initiative and enhanced brand recognition, now updating to the highest level ever.
With business expansion, we have no upper limit on recruitment and are accelerating organizational growth under the policy of "unlimited hiring."
