Morishita Jintan's Sponsorship of the 2026 Asia Triathlon Cup at Osaka Castle

Morishita Jintan Co., Ltd., based in Osaka, has announced its sponsorship of the upcoming Asia Triathlon Cup set to take place on May 31, 2026, at Osaka Castle. This prestigious event aims to showcase Osaka to the world while providing local children with an opportunity for international experiences and rekindling connections between residents and sports.

Commitment to Self-Medication

Founded in 1893, Morishita Jintan has been committed to the philosophy of "Zaisei Rinnen," which emphasizes the importance of helping people lead healthier lives. The company has launched a wide range of healthcare products over the years, including their well-known ‘Jintan’ and ‘Chou-Tech’ series. In the 1970s, Morishita Jintan recognized the importance of self-medication and ventured into wound care, developing the “Medical Care” series to address this need. This long-standing commitment to individual health is integral to the company’s identity.

As part of its ongoing initiative to support the local communities, Morishita Jintan decided to sponsor the Asia Triathlon Cup for the second year. The aim is to provide comprehensive support within the competitive environment that requires players to be prepared for potential injuries and issues.
