TKP Extends Partnership with Oita Trinita

In a significant development, TKP (Tokyo Kaikan Planning Co., Ltd.), based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has confirmed its sponsorship renewal with Oita Football Club for the 2021 season, marking six continuous years of support for the J-League team, Oita Trinita. This partnership reflects TKP's dedication not only to the club but also to enhancing community engagement through sports.

Since its first sponsorship agreement in 2012, TKP has been instrumental in supporting Oita Trinita. The two entities deepened their relationship further by entering into a capital and business alliance in 2019, culminating in TKP becoming a uniform sponsor beginning in 2021. As part of this ongoing commitment, TKP will once again adorn the J-League uniforms on the club’s chests for the upcoming season.

President's Message - Takaaki Kawano

Takaaki Kawano, TKP's President, shared insights on the significance of this sponsorship during a time of transformation. He stated, “We believe it is crucial to continue our support during these changing times.” Kawano expressed pride in being part of Oita Trinita’s journey as they transition under the new head coach, Shuhei Shikata, and move towards new aspirations.

Having faced challenges over the years, Oita Trinita’s determination to persevere has deeply resonated with TKP. The unwavering support from the club's fans and the collective spirit of the community have been motivational forces for the company.

Kawano emphasized that this partnership is not merely about branding. TKP aims to create initiatives that bring the club closer to its supporters. Among these initiatives is the introduction of the “Nitan Room” at the newly opened APA Hotel Oita Station in December, designed to foster a welcoming space for fans and players alike.

This enduring relationship exemplifies TKP’s commitment to stand alongside Oita Trinita, sharing both the joys of success and the trials of challenges alike. This year, positing it as a crucial stepping stone, TKP seeks to support Oita Trinita as it embarks on important new changes aiming for greater heights.

“We hope that this new season will be a pivotal year for the club’s advancement. We pledge our utmost support to help the team rise,” Kawano added passionately.

Future Goals

As both organizations look forward to the new season, their collaboration aims to inspire dreams and vitality within the community. TKP remains resolute in its objective to contribute positively to the region’s revitalization through sports, viewing each venture with Oita Trinita not merely as a sponsorship but a shared journey of growth and aspiration.

With TKP's longstanding history and commitment to supporting Oita Trinita, both companies are optimistic about forging a brighter future for the club, its fans, and the broader Oita community.
