Chairman and Director - Kiyomi Wada
ASICS Corporation started as a manufacturer of sports shoes founded in Kobe in 1949. Our founder,
the late Kihachiro Onitsuka aimed to promote sound growth of the young generation through sports.
The origin of the company name "ASICS" came from the famous phrase by a Roman lampoonist named Juvenails,
"Mens Sana In Corpore Sano" ("If you pray to God,
you should pray for a sound mind in a sound body") and took the initial letters of the phrase,
changing the "Mens" to "Anima" which gives more of an active nuance of the mind.
President and CEO: - Motoi Oyama
Sports is now playing an indispensable role in our everyday life.
They are deeply connected to the society and culture, buidling up a phrase "sports culture" to exemplify this.
It is our great pleasure that "sports" have now become an universal form of entertainment
and one of the keys to world peace.
We will keep making the utmost effort to bring health and happiness
to the people all over the world through sports.
