As Tokyo prepares to host the 2020 Summer Olympics and Paralympics, an increasing number of Japanese companies are throwing their support behind athletes with disabilities.
From hiring athletes to developing clothing for them, a wide range of firms are getting involved.
Toyota Motor Corp., one of the top sponsors of the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics, recently became a supporter of Special Olympics Japan, which hosted an international athletic event for children and adults with learning disabilities in Niigata Prefecture in February.
