NOK Corporation (Headquarters: Shibadaimon, Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, Group Chief Executive Officer: Masao Tsuru; hereinafter referred to as “NOK") has decided to continue its club partnership agreement with Kawasaki Frontale Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Takatsu-ku, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture; President and Representative Director: Akihiro Yoshida; hereinafter "Kawasaki Frontale"). 

The 2026 season marks a major milestone for Kawasaki Frontale, as the club celebrates its 30th anniversary and the J.League hosts its “2026 Special Season.” As NOK enters the second year of this partnership, the NOK logo will continue to be displayed on signage in the main stand of Kawasaki Frontale’s home stadium, Uvance Todoroki Stadium by Fujitsu.

And as part of NOK’s ongoing initiatives, the NOK hair tie “KKOOR,” launched in 2024 as an official Kawasaki Frontale merchandise item, will continue to be sold at Kawasaki Frontale official shops.

Kawasaki Frontale engages in a wide range of community-based initiatives, including hometown activities and youth development programs, contributing to regional revitalization through soccer. NOK shares this community-focused approach and, as a partner company, will support the club during this milestone year marking its 30th anniversary.
