Executive Comments

"When taking on challenges overseas, it is essential not only to understand what coaches and teammates are saying, but also to express your own thoughts, ask questions, and engage in continuous dialogue. Such English communication skills are vital not just during competition, but also in building relationships with new teammates and navigating academic life.

Through this support, we hope the athletes gain ample speaking experience before departing for the United States, cultivating confidence in their ability to communicate in their own words. We are thrilled to back these world-challenging athletes through English education so they can fully immerse themselves in their studies and athletic pursuits abroad."

— Raiko Fujioka, Founder & CEO of QQ English Inc.

"Japan's women's basketball community is home to many remarkable talents capable of competing on the world stage, yet far too many athletes have had to give up on their international dreams due to the barrier of language. We are deeply grateful for QQ English's support in establishing an environment where our athletes can head to the United States with genuine confidence."

— Yusuke Katoku, CEO of Sporta Inc.
