The Japan Swimming Federation has its roots in Japanese swimming styles and, by incorporating modern swimming styles, has progressed to top-class level in world swimming. In 2024, the Federation will commemorate the 100th anniversary of its foundation. Today, the JSF holds competitions in the five Olympic aquatic events, namely swimming, diving, water polo, artistic swimming (AS), and open water swimming (OWS), and is engaged in athlete development and other activities.
To date, the JSF has won a total of 22 gold medals (counting relays as a single medal) at the Olympics. One of Japan’s most famous swimmers is Kosuke Kitajima, who won gold in two events at two consecutive Olympics - Athens in 2004 and Beijing in 2008. The JSF also won gold medals in two events at the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games, namely the men's 400 m individual medley and the women's 200 m breaststroke.

As the governing body for competitive skating, the Japan Skating Federation was founded in 1929 with the aim of popularizing and promoting the sport, and in doing so, contributing to the sound development of body and mind of the Japanese people.
The Federation will celebrate its 90th anniversary in November this year. As we stride forward toward the next milestone, our centenary, we have declared a vision of establishing “Japan, the Skating Kingdom,” and we have formulated the following four missions: elevating our competitive capabilities, expanding the skating family, developing the skating environment, and promoting the Winter Olympic and Paralympic movement. Our goal is to become the country where skating is stronger, more popular, and more beloved than anywhere else in all the world.
We ask for your continued warm support and cooperation.

I am Shingo Kunieda, a professional wheelchair tennis player. The 2020 Tokyo Paralympics are now less than a year away. I would be delighted if you would all make your way to Ariake Coliseum to watch Shingo Kunieda play. My immediate goal is to win the remaining three Grand Slams. In particular, I have never taken the Wimbledon singles title, so I am working hard to win that one. Then, I will do my best to take out the Gold Medal at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics!
