Leifras Co., Ltd. Welcomes 2026 with Renewed Purpose

As we step into the new year of 2026, Leifras Co., Ltd. extends heartfelt greetings and gratitude to all those who have supported us. This year marks not only a new beginning but a commitment to our unwavering vision: "Transforming and Designing Sports."

Japan stands at a significant turning point in both education and sports environments. In our capacity as social business practitioners, we are dedicated to addressing pressing societal issues, including shortages in local sports program initiatives, the decline in children’s physical fitness, and the increasing number of children facing school avoidance and developmental disabilities. Our mission is to continuously offer effective solutions that leverage the power of sports.

We firmly believe in the importance of enhancing non-cognitive skills, an initiative we have pursued since our founding. These skills are critical for children to thrive in a rapidly changing society. Sports should not be viewed merely as competitions; they are platforms for fostering humanity. Our aim is to create environments across Japan where every child, whether excelling or struggling in sports, or facing disabilities, can take center stage.

Last year, we achieved a landmark milestone by becoming the first Japanese sports company to list on the NASDAQ market. We are determined to make 2026 a transformative year as we accelerate our global expansion. We will share our expertise in developing non-cognitive skills through sports, cultivated in Japan, with the world, continuing our commitment to support the smiles and growth of children across borders.

This year, all employees at Leifras will unite to drive forward our mission of expanding corporate achievements, which equates to creating a better society. We sincerely ask for your continued support and encouragement as we embark on this journey together.
