Koei Tecmo Group Announcement
As the new coronavirus (COVID-19) infection spreads worldwide, we would like to offer our deepest condolences to all those who have lost their lives due to this infectious disease. We would also like to express our deepest sympathies to those who have been infected, their families, and all those involved, and our deepest respect to all medical personnel and those who are struggling to fight infection.
With the cooperation of our overseas business partners, we have decided to secure medical supplies (worth \100 million JPY) and donate them to the City of Yokohama. As a first step, we will donate 6,000 high-performance masks.
Currently, medical institutions in Yokohama City are short of medical supplies such as protective clothing used by medical staff to prevent infection by the new coronavirus. This may threaten the safety of the medical staff who are struggling daily. Taking this situation seriously, we have examined what we can do to help, and have found that we may be able to procure these medical supplies through our overseas business partners.
We have relocated our head office to the Minato Mirai 21 district of Yokohama in March, and we would like to contribute more than ever to the local city of Yokohama and its citizens.In the spirit of "Creation and Contribution", the KOEI TECMO Group will continue to create game software that enriches people's hearts and minds as an entertainment company, while making active contributions to society through academic and cultural development and regional contributions.
We hope that the situation will be brought to an end as soon as possible.
*The names, quantities, timing, and distribution destinations of the donated items are currently being coordinated.
