Fennel Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “FENNEL”), which operates the professional esports team “FENNEL,” announced that it is supporting Toyohashi Sekkei Co., Ltd . (hereinafter “Toyohashi Sekkei”) in establishing an in-house esports club and managing its operations during its first year.

FENNEL Supports the Establishment and Operation of Toyohashi Sekkei’s Esports Club!

FENNEL has previously supported the launch and operation of in-house esports clubs at multiple companies.
Toyohashi Design is a company specializing in 3D mechanical design and the development of AI for design.
The company established the in-house esports club to foster communication and promote interaction among employees located throughout Japan, as well as those working fully remotely.

Toyohashi Design’s in-house esports club prioritizes employee interaction through gaming over pursuing competitive results.
FENNEL is supporting the operation of this club, which allows everyone—from beginners to experienced players—to come together in a relaxed atmosphere.

Going forward, the club plans to incorporate a wide range of genres—including FPS, racing, fighting, and party games—and host internal tournaments and team matches featuring cooperative play.
Additionally, events featuring interactions with professional players and streamers affiliated with FENNEL are in the works.

Comment from Katsumi Shibata, Head of the Esports Club at Toyohashi Sekkei Co., Ltd.

“We aim to create a space where games serve as a catalyst for casual connections among members from different departments—people who don’t usually have the chance to talk—as well as between junior and veteran employees.
We warmly welcome not only those who love games, but also those who say, ‘I’m not very familiar with them, but I’m interested.’
We’ll build a club where we can have fun and interact together.
I’d be delighted if this becomes an opportunity to foster new connections and conversations that transcend departmental and generational boundaries.”

Comment from Ryo Takashima, President and CEO of FENNEL

FENNEL’s strengths lie in both the “know-how to win” cultivated through managing professional teams and the “ability to entertain” honed through streaming activities and event planning.
With this initiative, we value employee interaction through gaming and aim to create a club activity where anyone—regardless of experience—can participate freely.
We will work together to ensure that this becomes a place where connections naturally form across departments and generations for everyone at Toyohashi Design—a place where people will want to participate again and again.
