One-on-One Online Coaching Service CR Gaming School
In February 2023, in collaboration with Crazy Raccoon, one of Japan’s largest esports teams, we launched the one-on-one online coaching service CR Gaming School. In April 2024, the school celebrated its first anniversary, establishing five new plans tailored to students’ goals and lifestyles to meet various learning needs. Furthermore, in August of the same year, CR Gaming School’s first free offline event was held at the eSports Gym™ Akabane Iwabuchi branch. Since then, we have continued to roll out various initiatives to promote game coaching culture.

Esports Pro Gamer Experience Camp for Elementary, Middle, and High School Students CR Fortnite CAMP
In July 2023, we began offering CR Fortnite CAMP, an esports pro gamer experience camp for elementary, middle, and high school students. The third session was held in August 2024. Sixteen participants, ranging from 4th-grade elementary school students to 1st-grade high school students, gathered for an opportunity to learn esports directly from professionals. In a post-event survey, the camp received high praise, achieving a 100% participant satisfaction rate. We will continue to undertake various business development initiatives to promote esports to the younger generation, including elementary, middle, and high school students, and to inform them about careers as pro gamers and other roles related to gaming.

AMICIS: A Creator’s Secret Workshop Developing Numerous Collaboration Goods
AMICIS is a new brand that develops IP, creator, and personality collaboration projects under the theme “As one”.
