Director General tile version August 2016 extraordinary issue (Message from Director General)

Ryunosuke Haga from Saito Branch Elementary School and Rokukakubashi Junior High School won a bronze medal in the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Judo Men's 100kg class. Thank you very much! I think many inhabitants of the ward were impressed by the appearance of Haga, who grew up in Kanagawa Ward playing an active part on the world stage. Haga trained at "Asahi Dojo" in Hirakawacho, finished 3rd in the "National Youth Judo Tournament (Group Battle)" in the sixth grade of elementary school, and in the third grade of junior high school, "National Junior High School Judo Tournament (90 kg class) ”, and has been the corner since then. In addition, a student from Rokukakubashi Junior High School from Haga won the championship at the national junior high school judo tournament held from August 17 to 20. I felt that Haga's success was helping the children who worked hard toward their dreams. We look forward to seeing Haga and children's success in the future.
