He expressed his thoughts about the development of Para-Badminton.
He said, ”February this year, I met and spoke to Sir Philip Craven, President of the International Paralympic committee. When I asked him for advice with regards to Daihatsu’s further support towards Para-Badminton, he said that first and foremost, he wished for the work of many people towards spreading awareness of Para-Badminton. Since Daihatsu has stores spread out all over the country, I intend to utilise them and support Para-Badminton with a method incorporating a grassroots movement style.“

Athletes’ Comments

Osamu Nagashima

I have been waiting for a tournament like this to be organized in Japan. A male class like WH1 (Wheelchair) has many competitors and is extremely competitive. However, I will work hard in order to beat as many and remain till the last day.

Yuma Yamazaki

My aim is to secure a medal. But first, I wish for many people to watch me play and thus learn the charm of Para-Badminton. I will be happy if people who wish to play together with us emerges from this.

Mamiko Toyoda

I wish to win in order to repay all those who have supported me thus far. As SU5 class (Upper Limb Impairment) is well stocked with good players even within Japan, we are all rivals of each other, and having many rivals close to each other is a good stimulus. I hope that these rivalries polishes each of us up as we all work hard together.

Daisuke Fujiwara

I am honored to be able to compete in Japan’s first international tournament. As I was able to win the first Japanese championships in 2015, this time, I once again wish to display a great performance in the presence of everyone and aim for the champion. Then, during the 2020 Paralympic in Tokyo, I hope to win and carve my name into history.
