□Kazunori YOSHIMOTO Scout Comment

I have been appointed as a member of the KODAIRA City Board of Education.
I felt extremely honored when I first received the offer. However, I also had concerns about whether I was capable of fulfilling the role. Among those, the biggest reason for accepting the offer was my desire to contribute to the city of Odaira. I have been appointed by the city council and today, I am participating in the appointment ceremony with a renewed sense of determination.
I want to convey firmly what I thought would be beneficial for the children and the city of Kodaira, based on my experiences in sports, J-League, and FC Tokyo, as well as my education at elementary and junior high schools in Kodaira.
There is also data showing that children's physical abilities have declined due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so we will make sincere efforts to help children enjoy physical activity.
