BACKGROUND
Based in Toyama Prefecture, we're dedicated to revitalizing our community through esports. We organize event support, gaming camps for elementary and junior high school students, and esports events for seniors. Through these initiatives, we aim to foster intergenerational connection and learning, working towards sustainable community development that bridges local culture and modern trends.
In recent years, games have evolved beyond mere entertainment, becoming an essential infrastructure for culture, education, and industry. However, declining birthrates, an aging population, and weakening community ties have made it difficult for school club activities to continue. Particularly since 2023, with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) actively promoting the "regional shift of club activities," we're at a critical turning point for establishing new educational opportunities outside of schools. Creating points of contact for communities and culture to reconnect is an urgent task.

CONCEPT
We view esports as a "common language across generations."
For children, we provide opportunities for challenge, learning, and growth. For seniors, we foster community engagement and a sense of purpose. For the community, we offer renewed involvement in local development and a rediscovery of their role. We believe that the collaborative, creative, and competitive nature of esports, when linked with local communities, can contribute to a sustainable social system.

SERVICE
Gaming Camps for Elementary & Junior High School Students
Through gaming, we cultivate cooperation and creativity, foster connections with the local community, and provide hands-on learning experiences.
Esports Meet-ups for Seniors
Aimed at revitalizing communities and preventing care needs, these events support seniors in improving their health and building new friendships through esports.
Community Event Support
We collaborate with local businesses and municipalities to host events, workshops, and competitions. Examples include regular tournaments at commercial facilities and community centers, and modeling local club activities.
Future Developments
We plan to establish local esports clubs and expand the "utilization of esports in local society" by partnering with welfare facilities, educational institutions, and regional resources. This will allow us to build a sustainable ecosystem of connections and learning within the community.
