前大会からMLPオフィシャルパートナーの東レ様より、吸水速乾素材「BYOKAN」のTシャツをご提供いただいています。

初めて袖を通した瞬間の衝撃は、今でも忘れられません。
汗をかいた後のサラサラ感が、これまでとは別次元。もう手放せません。
先週の大会もこれまで以上に集中してプレーできました。

これからのPPAツアーは、このBYOKANとともに。
世界一へ、もう一度ここから。

Starting from the PPA Atlanta Slam, I’ve been wearing “BYOKAN” shirts provided by Toray, an official partner of MLP.

I still remember the feeling the first time I put one on.
Even after long matches and heavy sweating, the comfort is on another level.

It helped me stay more focused throughout this tournament.

I’ll continue competing on the PPA Tour with BYOKAN by my side.

Back on the journey to becoming the best in the world.
【日本語は下↓】Semifinals at the PPA Atlanta Slam.

This week meant a lot to me.
Hearing so many fans cheering for me made me truly happy.

I came from Japan and have dedicated everything to pickleball for moments like this.

I will keep working for my dream.

I’m not satisfied yet.
I want to be a champion.

Arigatou 🙏🇯🇵

PPAアトランタスラムでベスト4でした。

ここ最近は、TOP4の壁に何度も跳ね返されてきました。
正直、何度も悩み、苦しみました。

それでも今回、ようやく結果を出すことができて、
自分の中で確実に一歩前に進めたと感じています。

これまで積み上げてきたセオリーをあえて捨てたり、
自分のスタイルに変化を加えたり。
とにかく考えて、考え抜きました。

諦めず、突き抜けるまでやり続ける。
そして考え抜く。
それが今の自分のすべてです。

次はメダル、そして優勝へ。

これからも僕のPickleball Journeyを、
温かく見守っていただけたら嬉しいです。

They said it was impossible—but I just achieved one of my goals.
A dream that once felt out of reach is now a reality—I’m officially the first Japanese player in MLP.

I started from the bottom and worked my way up, step by step. This journey hasn’t been easy—every challenge and setback has made me stronger.

But this is just the beginning. I’ll keep grinding every day to win a championship.

Huge thanks to everyone who has supported me along the way. Let’s make history together!
不可能だと言われていた目標のひとつをついに達成した。
かつては夢のように思えていたことが今、現実になった。
MLP史上初の日本人選手になることができた。

ゼロからのスタートで、決して楽な道のりではなかった。
挑戦と挫折を繰り返しながら、そのたびに少しずつ強くなってきた。

でも、これはまだ始まりにすぎない。
優勝を目指して、これからも努力を続けていく。
ここまで支えてくれたすべての人に、心から感謝します。
そして僕の旅は続きます。
