We are pleased to announce the publication of our latest feature, "Kimiyasu Kudo x SHAPE Partners Roundtable Discussion (Parts 1 & 2)," in the ARTICLE section of our website.

In this two-part series, we welcomed Kimiyasu Kudo—advisor of our company from 2024—for a roundtable discussion alongside our COO Komamiya and Principal Inoue.

The conversation explores the potential of popularizing baseball across Asia, the vision for Japan leading the regional development of the sport, and key perspectives on stabilizing sports team and franchise management.

Part 1 focuses on the expansion and commercialization of baseball, while Part 2 centers on building winning organizations.

The article also touches on approach to developing baseball as a sustainable industry rather than just a sport, as well as the future direction the SHAPE Group aims to pursue within the sports sector.

We invite you to read the full discussion.
