A Give-Away of a "Once in a Lifetime" Ultra-Rare Experience Possible Only Because Taisho Pharmaceutical is the Top Partner of the Japan National Rugby Team

Taisho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Toshima-ku, Tokyo) will launch an ultra-premium and priceless campaign that only Taisho Pharmaceutical can realize, starting April 22, 2026, on the rugby community site "Lipo-D Rugby Fan Park (commonly known as Liporug)".

Furthermore, Toshiaki Hirose, a former captain of the Japan National Rugby Team who continues to lead the Japanese rugby world, has been appointed as the Liporug Cheerleading Captain. As a "bridge" connecting fans and the Japan National Rugby Team, he will further enliven Liporug.

The A Prize of the campaign is an invitation to be a "Ball Delivery Kid" or "Escort Kid" at a Japan National Rugby Team match.
This is a right to participate in a "special place where only chosen children can stand." Stand on the same pitch as the players and feel the tension before the match starts. We will deliver such an unforgettable moment exclusively to Liporug members.
