Takahiro Okimasa

I started playing Ultimate after I entered ICU, and I am very happy to have been chosen as a member of the Japanese team. I will do my best to fulfill the role assigned to me and hope to contribute to the victory of our team. So, please root for us! I hope this occasion will become a catalyst to draw more attention to ICU's sports clubs and help them grow further.

Kentaro Nakao

I wanted to become a member of the Japanese team ever since I was a first-year student. Now, my dream has come true. I will do all I can for the team to win the gold medal. ICU has produced Japanese team members for the third consecutive tournament. I will give it everything I've got so ICU people will get to know ICU WINDS better and cheer for us.

Noritoshi Miyachi

We will go full blast to win gold. I hope our team will come up with the best results, which will cap the four years of my activities at ICU. I will do all I can as a representative of ICU WINDS so I will have no regrets! On this occasion, I hope you will begin following what ICU WINDS will be doing in the future. Please give us your support!

*Ultimate

Ultimate is a team sport using a flying disc (so-called Frisbee). The seven members on a team pass a disc toward the opposing end zone located within 18 meters of both ends of a court 100 by 37 meters. A point is scored when one team catches the disc in the opposing team's end zone.
