From Ehime to the World: "A Rising Star in Sport Climbing
A current Matsuyama University student who holds one of Japan's top records in the speed event of bouldering, a sport in which Japanese teams competed at the Tokyo Olympics. Climbing the huge 15-meter-high wall in an instant, the speedster of Generation Z quickly developed his talent when he started bouldering in the 5th grade of elementary school.
In 2022, he broke the Japanese record three times, making him Japan's top athlete in both name and reality, and although the record will be broken again in early 2023, he is always in contention to break the Japanese record in the highly competitive "speed" events.
He is expected to do well at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the stage of his dreams, and says humbly, "I will challenge the world from my hometown Ehime, and do my best to repay everyone who has been supporting and cheering me on.

The Unique Story of Osei
Omasa is a fierce contender for the Japanese record in the sport climbing “speed” event, and after making his World Cup debut in Korea in May 2022, he broke the Japanese record three times between June and July, reaching the final of the World Cup in Chamonix, France in July, where he placed 16th.
In addition to being an active top athlete, he is also a current student at Matsuyama University. He trains at a climbing facility in Saijo City, a neighbor of Imabari.
IKEUCHI ORGANIC will do its utmost to support this Ehime-born, Ehime-raised speedster so that he will shine brightest at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Comment from Ohmasa
When I was climbing, I was not particular about towels. However, I was surprised when I came across IKEUCHI ORGANIC’s towels. They are absorbent, light and fluffy, and now I can’t do without them.
My favorite towel is called Organic Air. This towel is thinner than other towels and is so light that I don’t feel anything when I hang it around my neck. It also absorbs sweat very well, and using this towel has improved my performance on the climbs!
