Promoting Karate: A Partnership Between MPandC and JKC

Karate is more than just a sport. It embodies strength, grace, and the spirit that enriches the mind and soul. This tradition is embraced by MPandC (株式会社MPandC), a company under the Sega Sammy Group specializing in sports business management, which has announced its support for the upcoming 4th All Japan Student Full-Contact Karate Championship. Scheduled to be held at the National Yoyogi Stadium on November 23, 2025, this event aims to elevate the profile of karate as a globally respected sport.

MPandC’s extensive expertise in marketing, planning, and coordinating for sports ventures positions it uniquely to aid aspiring athletes and clients entering the sports market. With a firm commitment to fostering the growth of full-contact karate, MPandC collaborates with the Japan Full-Contact Karate Commission (JKC), which plays an integral role in promoting and developing this martial art.

To enhance the championship's appeal, MPandC has also appointed Anri Furukawa, the 2024 Miss Earth Japan, as the event's ambassador. Slated to present a compelling image that interweaves karate's core values of strength and discipline with themes of beauty and intellect, the championship poster promises to be unlike any seen before. As Furukawa has continuously championed the theme of ‘beauty and the environment,’ her involvement further underscores the depth of karate’s aesthetic value and its cultural significance.

Anri Furukawa's Vision as Ambassador

In unveiling her role as ambassador, Furukawa expressed her views about karate:

“Karate represents a unique blend of intelligence, sensibility, humanity, inner strength, and confidence. Through practicing karate, I aim to enhance these qualities within myself and promote its allure to audiences both nationwide and globally.”

Her statement encapsulates the essence of karate as more than just physical combat; it is a holistic discipline that nurtures both character and appeal.
