Partnership Between KohMori and Yokohama B-Crane

On October 11, 2023, KohMori LLC, headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, announced a significant partnership with Yokohama B-Crane, a team in the X2 League under the Japan American Football Association. This agreement not only includes sponsorship but aims to create a supportive environment for athletes pursuing both sports and professional careers.

Background and Goals of the Partnership

KohMori aims to establish a world where athletes can continuously challenge themselves, focusing on creating new revenue streams for small- and medium-sized sports clubs. By partnering with Yokohama B-Crane, KohMori aspires to develop a model promoting economic independence for such sports clubs while enhancing the quality of their competitive environments. This collaboration is seen as a crucial step in contributing to the development of Japan's sporting landscape.

In addition, KohMori looks to increase its brand recognition and expand its business capacity through collaboration with the sports industry. Unlike traditional funding, this partnership will leverage both KohMori's business resources and the human and social networks that the sports club provides, thereby creating synergies that can bring value back to the sports community.

With the current scenario in amateur sports where athletes often juggle work and sports, supporting such an environment aligns strongly with KohMori's philosophy. The partnership with Yokohama B-Crane is thus seen as a natural fit, engaging the strengths of both entities in a collective effort towards mutual growth.
