ULUCUS PARK Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sapporo City, Hokkaido; Representative Director: Kei Akasaka; hereinafter "ULUCUS PARK") is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; President and Representative Director: Hidetoshi Segi; hereinafter "Rohto Pharmaceutical") to form a capital and business alliance.

〜Co-creating a next-generation education model for improved well-being〜

Through this alliance, both companies aim to build Japan's first "well-being education model that comprehensively acquires and analyzes data such as children's exercise, sleep, and nutrition, and applies it back to education and development." The goal is to promote the creation of new value through the fusion of education and healthcare, with the objectives of "building an education model based on scientific evidence" and "nurturing future human resources."

Background of the Alliance

In recent years, issues such as children's lack of exercise, decline in sleep quality, imbalance in nutrition, progression of myopia, and mental health problems have become apparent, necessitating a comprehensive approach that cuts across physical health, lifestyle habits, and education.

ULUCUS PARK, as Japan's first specialized multi-sport facility, develops an educational business that comprehensively nurtures "action acquisition, sleep ability, nutritional intake ability, and non-cognitive abilities," which are considered most important for children's growth up to 12 years old, through multi-sport. This aims to enhance children's "ability to live" and contribute to the development of future human resources. Under the philosophy of "maximizing future choices through physical development up to 12 years old," they aim to create a state where children can independently choose challenges after age 12 by visualizing and optimizing each individual's growth. Globally, physical development up to 12 years old is considered the "foundation of life" and an important area that impacts the improvement of healthy life expectancy, reduction of medical costs, and overall societal productivity. However, in Japan, its importance has not yet been sufficiently systematized. Currently, primarily in the Hokkaido area, they are promoting regional co-creation through partnerships with diverse companies, local governments, and educational institutions, and are working on building a town development model starting from physical development education. Through this physical development, they aim to not only maximize individual potential but also to contribute to the construction of a new infrastructure that realizes a sustainable region and society across sports, education, healthcare, and town development, as a "starting point" for fostering human resources who will create the future of society.

Rohto Pharmaceutical leverages its research and development capabilities in pharmaceuticals, food, and healthcare to promote businesses that contribute to "people's health and happiness," including eye care centered on eye drops, skincare, and health food/supplement businesses. Under the 2030 Comprehensive Management Vision "Connect for Well-being," they aim to contribute to the health and happiness of people worldwide and are actively promoting initiatives that contribute to the extension of healthy lifespans for the realization of a sustainable society. The company is also focused on supporting the next generation of children and promoting healthcare awareness.

In this context, the alliance was formed with the belief that combining the knowledge, technologies, and resources of both companies would enable the construction of a new education and healthcare model that scientifically supports the growth of children aged 12 and under.
