The Japanese national basketball team begins the challenge of a new stage. Last month, it was announced that Tom Horvath would continue as head coach, and Horvath said, “Our work and journey is far from over, and I look forward to meeting the many challenges ahead.” The team continues to improve, winning the hearts of fans and making them enthusiastic, such as pushing the French national team, which won the silver medal at the Paris Olympics, one step closer. Four years later, the fight for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics has begun again.

“Bringing diversity to world sports.”
The Player! a platform where anyone can create their favorite game, support it, and have fun.
Over the past 50 years, the sports industry has evolved through the trinity of mass sports, mass media, and mass sponsors.
Sports with few fans cannot withstand national broadcasting, lack mass media coverage, lack mass sponsors, and become more minor sports.
It was during the Showa and Heisei periods that a big difference emerged between mass games and minor games.
Is softball a small game for hard-working softball players and their mothers who support them?
The player! suggests a lifestyle that includes “my sports” rather than “mass sports.”
It’s like finding a city you like, living there, loving it, and contributing to making it more enjoyable. As for games, it’s fun when you find your own favorite game, fall in love with that game, and contribute to making the game more popular. The player! creates a world where everyone can play their own favorite sport, support it, and have fun. Bringing diversity to world sports.

In addition to professional teams, teams of various sports and categories operate daily in each region of Japan. Teams focusing on the professional category, teams competing in their own leagues, and student club activities in universities and high schools. These “local sports teams” involve the local community, connect with fans, and inspire the local area. However, many local sports teams do not have as much staff or funding as professional teams. We have to manage a lot of tasks with a small number of staff, and we have to do with a small amount of funds, so we have to focus on keeping the team alive rather than making the team stronger- on and win. At ookami, our mission is to “bring a smile to the world through sports.” We suggest “Player! WHITE” because we want to maximize the potential value of local sports teams and free up more time for important things. Currently, it is adopted by more than 200 teams, and we intend to expand further in the future.
