The initiative was featured in the local newspaper.

HADO is a 3-on-3 competitive AR sport in which players generate digital energy balls and shields and battle through strategy and teamwork. Even students who are not confident in physical activities can become the hero of the game with the right strategy.

The trial classes were conducted across multiple grade levels, where students discussed tactics within their teams and pursued victory through collaboration.

Mr. Yuu Wakamatsu, the teacher leading the initiative, shared:

“We introduced HADO with the goal of creating PE classes where anyone can shine. Different students take the lead in every match, and everyone is truly enjoying it.”

HADO will continue to support innovative and inclusive PE environments and promote its adoption in educational settings across Japan and beyond.
