Tokyo Power Technology Celebrates Silver Medal Win at the 2025 Deaflympics

Tokyo Power Technology Co., Ltd. is thrilled to announce that Ryoto Takizawa, a prospective employee set to join in 2026, made a remarkable appearance in the Deaf Football finals against Turkey at the ongoing Tokyo 2025 Deaflympics. Takizawa came off the bench in the second half, contributing to a hard-fought game that ended with Japan securing the silver medal.

Tokyo Power Technology, headquartered in Koto, Tokyo, is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion (D&I) within its workforce. The company’s philosophy emphasizes that the diverse values and experiences of its employees can lead to the creation of new value. This commitment extends to supporting the athletic endeavors of athletes with hearing impairments, with a particular focus on fostering their participation in high-stakes events like the Deaflympics.

In a heartfelt post-match interview, Takizawa expressed his determination, stating, “After being unable to play in the World Cup final previously, I was driven to step onto the final stage this time.” He recounted a pivotal moment in the tournament—the joy of scoring his first goal in international competition against Australia. Despite the disappointment of not claiming gold, Takizawa is motivated by this experience and plans to prepare diligently for future competitions, ready to seek redemption.

“Throughout the tournament, there were challenges, but the support from everyone served as a tremendous source of strength. I sincerely appreciate all those who stood behind us,” he added, highlighting the importance of team spirit and community support.

Underlining its commitment to fostering a more inclusive society, Tokyo Power Technology has forged partnerships with organizations like the Japan Deaf Athletics Federation and the Japan Deaf Soccer Association. These collaborations serve to promote the development and awareness of disability sports across the nation, ensuring that every athlete has the support they need to excel.
