The sports market showed solid growth even during the COVID pandemic. For the market, our operations have expanded via DESCENTE LTD. and DOME Corporation. The former operates DESCENTE and other brands in Japan, South Korea, China and other countries while the latter is the Japanese agency for UNDER ARMOUR.
In the area of shoes, we are involved with brands such as Converse, FILA and Reebok and our efforts will continue to accelerate. Because of the differences in the characteristics and customer segments of the different brands, however, we will address the demand generated by a wider range of customers by adding more brands to the lineup.
