After three years, Horigome has officially parted ways with the company and is now joining All Nippon Airways.
ANA recently shared a post celebrating the partnership.
The post talked about how Yuto developed his love for skateboarding through daily visits to the skatepark with his father.
The post also expressed admiration for his continued dedication to refining his skills and exploring new opportunities on the board.
This collaboration with ANA opens a fresh opportunity for Horigome to expand his presence and connect with a brand that supports his goals on and off the skateboard.
Skaters can expect to see him continue to represent skateboarding at major competitions while also being a face for an airline that supports him as he grows personally and professionally.
This development also shows a fresh approach in athlete sponsorships, demonstrating that brands outside of traditional skateboarding circles are recognizing the appeal and influence of athletes like Horigome.
