　Tokyo aims to create an inclusive society where everyone can enjoy sports, regardless of whether they have a disability or not, and will be holding the first ever "Exhibition Match with Para Esports Players (Street Fighter 6)" to provide a forum where people with and without disabilities can compete on an equal footing through esports initiatives.
　On the day, we will be welcoming Jeni, a fighting gamer who uses a chin-operated controller and is active in global esports tournaments, and NAOYA, a blind gamer who utilizes sound accessibility features, and we will be holding a competitive networking event where para esports players will compete against general participants in the popular fighting game "Street Fighter 6."
　Therefore, we are looking for someone to compete against Jeni and NAOYA.
　Why not take this opportunity to challenge a Street Fighter 6 Master Rank para esports player?
　On the day, we will be joined by special guest Yuka Kuramochi, producer of the female e-sports team G-STAR Gaming, who will be taking part in an exhibition match.
　We look forward to receiving many applications.

■ Street Fighter 6　　　　　　(Manufacturer: CAPCOM)

　This popular fighting game was released in 2023 and by June 2025 had sold over 5.2 million copies worldwide.
　The game features a "Modern Type" control mode that allows you to perform special moves without having to input complex commands, and a new feature not seen in previous games in the series, "Sound Accessibility," which assists in a gaming experience that does not use visual information (such as being able to tell the distance between you and your opponent by sound).
　During development, Jeni and NAOYA also participated as sound design supervisors.
