Comment from Takako Osawa, the President and Managing Director of Tamasu Co., Ltd.
Since this April, Butterfly has had the privilege of supporting the Japanese Deaf men's and women's national teams.
In table tennis, “sound” is an important element that provides key information, such as rally tempo, ball speed, and spin. However, deaf table tennis players compete every day in a world without sound.
We express our deep respect for their remarkable focus and relentless effort, and we are committed to supporting them to perform at their best.
We sincerely wish the Japanese Deaf national team wearing Butterfly uniforms great success at the Tokyo 2025 Deaflympics, which will be held in Japan for the first time.
