A Shooting-Focused Sport Designed to Tackle Japan’s “Lack of Finishing Power” and Overcome the “Fear of Failure” Soccer Culture

TOKYO, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEIFRAS Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: LFS) (the “Company” or “Leifras”), a sports and social business company dedicated to youth sports and community engagement, today announced the official launch of “SIX SHOOT”, a new soccer competition focused on shooting and goal scoring. SIX SHOOT was conceived by Leifras employee and former J.League player Itta Terada, aiming to foster a mindset among young people to embrace challenges and shoot without fear of failure through sports. The Company has also launched official social media accounts for the competition and plans to share updates on how various prestigious teams across different age groups take on the SIX SHOOT challenge. The Company also plans to hold tournaments by age groups in the future.

Development Background: Addressing the Need for a Goal-Scoring Mindset in Japanese Soccer
One of the long-standing issues facing Japanese soccer is the lack of strikers. Partly due to Japan’s strong culture that values harmony, Japanese players tend to choose a “100% success rate back pass” over a “50% success rate shot” in critical moments. However, to compete at the highest levels and realize the goal of winning the World Cup, players must develop the confidence and technical ability to seize even the smallest opportunities in front of goal. Taking a shot is the very essence of “challenge” in life. SIX SHOOT was born from the belief that more players, and more people beyond the field, should develop a “shoot without fear” mindset: the resolve to shape their own future on their own terms, despite the risk of receiving criticism if they miss.

What is “SIX SHOOT”? A New Shooting-Focused Competition Format
SIX SHOOT is a “shooting-focused competitive event” where players attempt six different types of shots and compete to score the most goals. It is designed to hone the players’ shooting skills under match-like pressure and engage the social media audience with its clear outcome—whether a goal is scored or not. Promotion and rule explanation videos can be viewed via the competition’s official accounts.

• Six Designated Situations
  Penalty kick, direct shot, one-touch shot, mid-range shot, etc.
• Win or Lose Determination
  The player who scores the most goals (or the goalkeeper who has made the most saves) at the end of the sixth round is the winner.
• Match Format
  Competitions can be held in individual or team formats, with flexible structures depending on the number of participants and categories.

Going Forward: Age-Group Tournaments to Cultivate Japan’s Next Generation of Strikers
SIX SHOOT is more than just entertainment. As a serious project aimed at discovering the world’s best striker, age-group tournaments are being planned for players aged U-9 (3^rd grade elementary school) and above to determine the top striker in each age group. By focusing on shooting, Leifras seeks to improve the shooting skills and mindset of young players.

Launch of Official Social Media Accounts Under the Theme “The World’s Best Striker, From Japan”
The official social media accounts for this project have been launched. The Company plans to share the journey of founder Itta Terada’s challenges, the practice of SIX SHOOT by prestigious teams from each age group, spectacular plays from SIX SHOOT competitions, and showdown events featuring star guests.
