Base Food Inc., based in Meguro, Tokyo, has recently signed a supplier agreement with competitive swimmer Keita Sunama. This partnership is part of their ongoing initiative, the "BASE UP SPORTS PROJECT," which aims to support health and athletic performance through balanced nutrition.
The project promotes the idea that each individual can shine uniquely while fostering a society filled with smiles. By incorporating complete nutritional food into everyday life, Base Food aims to enhance physical and mental well-being. The signing of the supplier contract with Sunama is a significant step in this direction.
As part of this collaboration, Base Food will provide Sunama with various nutritious products from their "BASE FOOD" series, specifically designed to nourish athletes and support their training. In addition to nutritional support, the partnership will involve cooperative initiatives for broader activities and educational campaigns promoting the relationship between nutrition and sports performance.
Athlete Profile
Keita Sunama, hailing from Yamato-Koriyama City in Nara Prefecture, had a challenging start in his competitive swimming career. During the 2016 Japan Championships, he was close to qualifying for the Rio Olympics, achieving the Olympic standard but missing his slot by a mere 0.24 seconds. This disappointment fueled his determination to succeed.
In 2018, Sunama finally earned his place on the Japanese national swimming team at the Pan Pacific Swimming Championships, competing in the 200m backstroke event. His journey continued to climb, leading to his participation in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where he realized his dream of swimming on the Olympic stage. Currently, he is affiliated with Entry Co., Ltd. and is ambitiously aiming for a medal at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. Traditionally, Sunama has also engaged in public speaking, reaching out to school-aged children based on his six years of experience with school absenteeism.
Sunama expressed gratitude for the partnership with Base Food, acknowledging the critical role of nutrition and daily condition management in competitive swimming. He highlighted the convenience of Base Food’s products, allowing him to easily meet his nutritional needs. As he strives for growth both in sport and as a person, he looks forward to further development as he prepares for the upcoming Olympics. With appreciation for his supporters, he invites them to continue cheering him on.
