Toyota and its Sports Clubs Operate in Unison, Mirroring a Single Pulse
In an inspiring display of support, Akio Toyoda, the President of Toyota, and Takanori Azuma, Deputy Chief Officer of the General Administration & Human Resources Group, have been actively engaging with the sports clubs within the Toyota community.
Takanori Azuma, who is also a sports enthusiast, frequently visits club games and practice sessions. His passion for sports is not limited to being a spectator; he is deeply involved in the support and development of these clubs.
Akio Toyoda, on the other hand, draws on his own athletic background to connect with the sports clubs. Having been an athlete in his youth, he finds energy and empathy from these clubs. His commitment to sports extends beyond mere attendance; he goes as far as visiting training venues and experiencing training with the players.
The second episode of Toyota Times Athletes Now, a re-launched show, focused on the history and relationship between Toyota and its sports clubs. The theme of the episode was "Why does President Akio Toyoda attend sporting events in person?" The episode, which was broadcast live on October 13, featured special guest Takanori Azuma and Kento Nakamura, a cleanup hitter for Toyota and third pick by Hiroshima Toyo Carp in the recent NPB draft.
The General Administration & Human Resources Group plays a significant role in supporting these sports clubs. Their members' efforts create energy and unity within the company, fostering a shared spirit of taking on challenges. Moreover, the Group also considers the second and third careers of every club player, aiming to capitalize on their experience and personality.
Toyota has a total of seven representative sports clubs and 26 non-competitive sports clubs. One of the oldest clubs is the track and field club, which was established in 1937, the same year as Toyota Motor. This long-standing tradition of sports involvement reflects a unity in taking on challenges between the vehicle manufacturing side of Toyota and its sports clubs.
President Akio Toyoda has been seen cheering on the baseball team at Tokyo Dome and visiting the locker room to rouse players' spirits. His personal involvement in sports events is a testament to the importance Toyota places on its sports clubs.
Toyota Times Athletes Now is a Japanese-language show that provides a platform for discussing the relationship between Toyota and its sports clubs. The second episode was a thought-provoking conversation that delved into the history, culture, and future of these clubs within the Toyota community.
