Yukio NISHIMOTO (Toyama Prefecture School Children Badminton Federation Chairman)
Many players participated again this year. There were also a great number of family members who came and cheered loudly for the players, which made them play with lots of energy and made it a very good tournament.
I hope the players learn from their games and improve their weaknesses in this tournament during their training.
Daihatsu brought energy to the tournament by providing cheering goods and sports drinks, as well as carrying out free car inspections, so I felt the motivation of the players was raised.

We knew that Toyama prefecture has a large badminton population, but after participating in the matches over the 2 days including the qualifying rounds, we were really amazed at the number of participants.
Seeing the happy faces of the players receiving their cheering goods and drinks gave us energy as well. We will continue to participate in conducting the tournament next year and beyond. We hope to keep helping the popularization of badminton in our own small way.
