The sponsorship agreement between the OGAWA Group and Earthfriends Tokyo Z began in 2018 and marks its 9th year this season. We will continue to support Earthfriends Tokyo Z, which will join B.LEAGUE ONE from the 2026-27 season, as a Silver Sponsor.

[Background of Sponsorship Agreement Renewal]

As a company that supports people's dietary lives through the supply of meat, the OGAWA Group has continued to support professional sports teams while valuing the affinity between "food" and sports.

Earthfriends Tokyo Z is a professional basketball team based in Ota Ward, Tokyo. The team continues to engage in community-based activities, primarily in the Jonan area, which is close to Shinagawa Ward, where our company operates.

As a company involved in the same Jonan area, the OGAWA Group wishes to support the challenges of Earthfriends Tokyo Z, and also to connect this to revitalizing the community through sports and creating opportunities for employees and their families to interact. With these aspirations, we have renewed our sponsorship agreement for this season.

[Initiatives with Earthfriends Tokyo Z in the 2025-26 Season]

In the 2025-26 season, as part of our partnership with Earthfriends Tokyo Z, we held a basketball clinic and game viewing event for OGAWA Group employees and their families.

Approximately 25 people participated in the basketball clinic, including employees belonging to the OGAWA Group's basketball club, as well as employees and their children who wished to participate. Under the guidance of the Earthfriends Tokyo Z staff, it was a time to experience the fun of basketball, from basic drills to practical drills.

After the clinic, participants watched an Earthfriends Tokyo Z home game. For the participants, it was a valuable opportunity to enjoy basketball throughout the day, from "learning" and "playing" to "cheering."

Furthermore, we will deepen our partnership with Earthfriends Tokyo Z while valuing connections with the community through sports and creating opportunities for employees and their families to participate.
