Decorated Paralympian Joins Staff at Mitsubishi Corporation

TOKYO, Oct 1, 2015 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) is pleased to announce that blind marathoner and Paralympic athlete Yuichi Takahashi has joined the staff at its Tokyo headquarters.

Takahashi, formerly employed to IT Frontier (now Tata Consultancy Services Japan), is well known for his successes in international long-distance competitions. In May 2004, he clocked a world-record time of 2 hours, 37 minutes and 43 seconds at the Kasumigaura International Blind Marathon in Ibaraki, Japan, and went on to capture a gold medal in the men's marathon at the Paralympic Games in Athens later that year.

Takahashi also dedicates much of his time to social contribution activities. He is currently a goodwill ambassador for MC's "DREAM AS ONE." project, which was launched in October 2014 to help raise awareness about and promote understanding of para-sports.

At MC, Takahashi will focus mainly on assisting the company with its efforts in support of para-sports, including participating in events and delivering lectures in his capacity as goodwill ambassador, while at the same time continuing to pursue his passion for participating in international competitions.

Takahashi says he is "delighted to become a member of staff at a company that supports para-sports." "With everyone's backing," he adds, "I intend to take on even more challenges going forward."

Working together with Takahashi, MC remains committed in its efforts to help raise the profile of para-sports.
