As an athlete, I have always had a lot of respect for SEIKO’s precise timing technology and attitude of valuing challenges. Also, just as small gears can be converted into great power by meshing with larger gears, it is essential for athletes to have companions who understand them. The partnership with SEIKO, which has supported the sports field for many years and has continued to take on challenges with many athletes, is very reassuring, and I am excited that we will be able to write a new time in the history of sports together. With this momentum, I would like to pursue my own performance at a higher level. I am looking forward to the future challenges together with everyone who supports me. ・Tanaka player site
