Mizuno has concluded a “Future Co-creation Partnership Agreement” with Kamikawa Town in Hokkaido.
This agreement aims to revitalize local communities and promote sustainable community development through sports, with the following four objectives:
1. Healthy development and education of children
2. Creating opportunities for intergenerational and inter-regional exchange
3. Enhancing and promoting local attractions
4. Contributing to sustainable community development
Mizuno has formulated and published a general business owner Action Plan based on the Act on Advancement of Measures to Support Raising Next-Generation Children .
Mizuno has entered into a partnership agreement with Suminoe Ward Office of Osaka City to promote growth and development of the ward. Through this partnership, we will collaborate on initiatives to support children’s healthy developments and education, as well as the maintenance and promotion of health., showcasing the appealing aspects of the community, and urban development, working to revitalize the local community within the ward
Mizuno received the “Eruboshi” certification on May 13, 2024, and the “Kurumin” certification on May 16, 2024.
Mizuno is holding the Mizuno Baseball Dream Cup Junior Tournament, a children’s baseball tournament with the principle of “Don’t get angry at failure and everyone helps each other.”
In sports, kids are sometimes subjected to coaching that is too harsh in the interest of improving their ability. In this tournament, however, our hope is to have as many children as possible experience the joy of simply playing baseball.
Mizuno is working to create opportunities and launch programs that enable anyone to enjoy sports and move their bodies.
Mizuno and World Yuru Sports Association jointly developed 500-step football and are selling the program to corporations, shopping centers, and municipalities.
In recent years, female athletes at competition venues and other locations are increasingly the victim of hidden photography and filming taken for illicit purposes, the images and videos of which are then disseminated over the internet. Mizuno has developed an infrared blocking fabric to help combat this illicit photography.
Mizuno has commercialized the white cane, MizunoCane ST, for the visually-impaired.
Until now, plate spring sports prostheses were designed for top athletes wanting to break records and compete for positions in competitions.
General prostheses designed for daily use like walking cannot be used for running. Also, plate spring prostheses for sports were expensive and difficult to maintain and adjust. As a result, lower limb amputees generally had no choice but to give up sports that involved running.
The Adachi City General Sports Center (Tokyo,Japan) is managed and operated by Mizuno and has a facility called the Special Cruyff Court where people of all physical abilities can enjoy sports.
Special Cruyff Courts are barrier-free, multi-purpose sports facilities that have been established in various countries by the Johan Cruyff Foundation*1, which was founded by former Dutch professional football player Johan Cruyff. The Adachi City*2 General Sports Center is the location of the first Special Cruyff Court in Asia.
