Comment

I am pleased to announce that I have recently joined Samty. I specialize in backstroke for Deaf swimming.

With the goal of winning a medal at the 2025 Tokyo Deaflympics, I will devote myself every day while breaking my personal best and setting a new deaf Japan record.

In addition to achieving results, I would like to spread the appeal of deaf sports in Japan.

Thank you in advance for your support.
