INPEX CORPORATION (INPEX) announced that employee Tatsuya Sei has been officially selected to represent Japan in the Tokyo 2025 Deaflympics beach volleyball competition.
Sei's strengths are his high-scoring spikes, which take advantage of his physique, and his game planning, which is based on his extensive match experience. At the 4th World Deaf Beach Volleyball Championship held in August 2024, he finished eighth, his personal best in international competitions.
In addition, he won all matches in straight sets at the Deaflympics Japan national team selection tournament held in April 2025 and was selected to represent Japan.
Comment from Sei
At the end of April, I was selected to represent Japan at the Tokyo 2025 Deaflympics. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support.
At the Tokyo games, I will do my best to improve on my best result (tied for ninth) and win the first medal for Japan.
Thank you for your continued support.
