Mr. Ono, General Producer of Capcom Street Fighter, and Mr. Kazushi Kobayashi, Deputy General Manager of Otsuka Foods Beverage Division, crossed paths on stage.
I have a feeling a street fight is about to begin...! But that's a lie, Otsuka Foods has also announced its entry into e-sports!

They will sponsor e-sports tournaments and promote their products through e-sports.

Otsuka Foods also announced a product for e-sports! The image character is Tokido!

Otsuka Foods announced a new e-sports product! The image character is Tokido, a famous professional player who needs no explanation!

It is not unusual for food and beverage companies to enter e-sports in 2019.
However, most of them are mainly sponsoring or supporting e-sports tournaments.

This is an energy drink for e-sports with the catchphrase "BRAIN SPORTS DRINK"! Tokido in the image poster with his top half naked!
Tokido, who was (apparently) nervous about being photographed with his upper body naked.
Tokido's body is so toned that it is hard to believe that he is an e-sports player.... Strong fighting game players have good bodies, don't they?
Our editorial staff has been participating in the Tokyo Game Show for many days, and our bodies are getting fatigued.

The commercial for BRAIN SPORTS DRINK "e3" was released on YouTube at the same time as this announcement, so be sure to check it out!

While there are many different energy drinks available, the main difference between "e3" and other energy drinks is that "e3" is a "sports drink for the head" and is specialized for e-sports.

It contains caffeine, glucose, and Palatinose®, and is expected to provide the fast-attack and long-lasting effects necessary for head-to-head competitions.

It is a sports drink (energy drink) for e-sports that combines all the elements necessary for e-sports.
