Announcing the New KONAMI MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB Team
for the M.League 2021 Season

Konami Amusement Co., Ltd. is thrilled to introduce its new KONAMI MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB team for the pro mahjong M. League 2021 season, which is set to get underway October of this year.

This past July, KONAMI MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB renewed the contracts of two of last season's players. Then, in the player draft held on August 2, it selected and subsequently signed two new players to the team. This fresh four-player lineup can't wait to hit the tables this season, and they hope you'll continue to cheer them on!

Without further ado, we proudly present the KONAMI MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB 2021 lineup:

Re-signed players (name/affiliation)
Hisato Sasaki/ Japan Professional Mahjong League
Mari Takamiya/ Japan Professional Mahjong League

Newly signed players (name/affiliation)
Arisa Date / Japan Professional Mahjong League
Kazunori Takizawa / Japan Professional Mahjong League

We are also proud to introduce the new uniforms for the 2021 season and beyond. If the team ethos of the KONAMI MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB could be summarized in one word, it would be "attack." However, and this goes without saying, the game of mah-jong involves making both offensive as well as defensive moves with maximum ingenuity.

This is captured in the Chinese expression, "Shū gōng mò shǒu," which describes two individuals, one who specializes in attacking, the other in defense. The name of the defender includes the character for "ink," and this inspired us to create two-tone uniforms, with the white base color representing offense, and the black color representing defense. As a finishing touch, the uniforms feature a traditional ink painting style dragon that embodies the rich history of KONAMI Mah-jong Fight Club and its strong will to persevere.

We are so excited to present these new uniforms that mark the start of what we hope will be a long and successful chapter in the history of KONAMI MAH-JONG FIGHT CLUB.
