We are a special sponsor of the Fields Dynamite!!, mixed martial arts matches, and the K-1 World Grand Prix, a martial arts tournament, which are customary taking place at the year end.
People are now expecting a higher level of entertainment from the entertainment industry including the pachinko, as the values have increasingly diversified among people and more contents have been integrated.

We have sympathized the producing power which this new entertainment has created through the integration of various martial arts. We, thus, bring you the new leisure by sponsoring the K-1 World Grand Prix.
