IKEUCHI ORGANIC has added new athletes to its list of supported athletes. They are Keita Sunama, the Tokyo 2020 backstroke champion; Shoji Otani, a kickboxer trained by the Self-Defense Forces; and Shungo Tamaki of Nankatsu SC, a soccer team owned by Yoichi Takahashi, the author of the soccer comic “Captain Tsubasa. We will continue to support athletes in various sports through towels. We look forward to your continued support for our new athletes.

〜Comment from Sunama
Swimming is a sport where towels are used a lot, both in practice and in competitions, so I was looking for a tough towel with quick-drying properties.
That is when I came across Organic 120.
I thought I should not look for satisfaction in towels, but this towel changed that common sense.
Soft touch, quick-drying, water absorbency, everything took me to a world I had never experienced before.
Now I use Organic 120 towels for everything from practice to competitions instead of swim towels, which used to be the norm in the swimming world.
It is my favorite towel that I cannot live without.
