At the 66th Kanto Student Bodybuilding Championships, Kei Izumi (4th year, Faculty of Economics) placed 15th out of over 100 competitors, earning him the right to compete in the bodybuilding division of the All Japan Student Bodybuilding Championships. Furthermore, he received an award in the "legs" category in the partial awards judging, which evaluates the muscles of each part of the body. At the Kanto Student Championships, in addition to the winners, participants for the All Japan Student Championships are also selected from among those who did not place. From our university, Kosuke Hasui (2nd year, Faculty of Economics) was selected and earned the right to compete in the All Japan Student Championships.
Furthermore, at the 7th Kanto Student Physique Championships, more than 60 athletes competed in each weight class, with student athletes from the Kanto region competing against each other.
