Life Reversal Gaming (Location: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Mitsuharu Takagi) will launch the 'Game Caster Training Program' on August 3, 2026 (Mon), a short-term, intensive online course designed to teach the knowledge and skills necessary to become a game caster (tournament commentator). In conjunction with this, applications for the first cohort (maximum of 5 participants) open today, June 8, 2026 (Mon).
Unlike standard YouTube streaming, this program aims to cultivate 'Game Casters' who prioritize the tournament, players, and audience, effectively conveying the value of the match and the energy of the venue. The program will be led by company director and former pro gamer Nobuo Takagi (NOBUO), a six-time world champion in racing games, who will provide small-group instruction on techniques required in live gaming tournament settings.

Background of Program Development In recent years, e-sports and game-based events have expanded beyond professional competitive tournaments into regional events, corporate campaigns, and education/welfare sectors. In these settings, the presence of 'Game Casters' who can clearly explain the game situation while conveying player charm and venue energy has become increasingly vital.
However, hiring professional external casters can be prohibitively expensive. Many regional events or small-scale corporate initiatives often struggle to find talent with the necessary know-how in game-context commentary, leaving organizers to struggle through the process themselves.
To meet these现场 needs, we developed this program. Based on the insights gained from our planning and operations experience, we provide a learning environment to cultivate the fundamental skills and practical capabilities needed for game casting.
Program Features 1. Direct Instruction from a Former Pro Gamer Instructor Nobuo Takagi (NOBUO) is a former pro gamer with six world championship titles in racing games. Leveraging his perspective as a player and experience as a commentator/MC, he will teach techniques for selecting and assembling words to convey the value of matches to the audience.
2. Hands-on Support via Small Class Sizes This program is limited to a maximum of 5 participants. In addition to weekly group lectures, participants receive weekly 1-on-1 feedback tailored to their individual challenges.
3. Practical Path to Professional Opportunities For participants who pass the final test, the company will provide support, including placement opportunities for field tasks at events managed or affiliated with us.
