About Taishi: Hi, I’m Taishi! I’ve always loved staying active and first got into boxing during my university days. This event means a lot to me—one of my close family members recently fought a tough battle with cancer, so I’ve seen how hard it can be. That’s why I’m giving this everything I’ve got. I’m training hard, not just for the fight, but to show up with heart—for the kids, for their families, and for everyone supporting this cause. Let’s make it a night to remember!

Message from Taishi: To all the brave kids and everyone supporting this incredible cause—I’m in your corner. I’m training with everything I’ve got to bring the energy and excitement. Let’s fight together!

Please remember, that your pledge directly supports Shine On! Kids and their Facility Dog Program. Shine On! Kids provides innovative, evidence-based psycho-social support programs to children in 30 hospitals throughout Japan.

He was my manager and someone I deeply respect. His sincere dedication—to his work, his health management, and boxing—and the way he gives his all, no matter what challenges he faces, make him a person I truly admire and aspire to be like. I hope he gets the chance to show everything he’s worked so hard for. I’m cheering him on with all my heart!

I’m friend of Taishi Kawamoto since we’re 14 and I really am rooting for him for whatever the choice he makes. I am also a mother of a year old daughter and wishing for happiness & rooting for many of children and adults who are battling cancer.
