With each passing day becoming more fast-paced than ever before, balancing career, chores, and other personal endeavors has become more complicated. Toshiba took this as a challenge to break the boundaries of convention and develop enhanced functionality, enabling its consumers to experience true comfort and convenience all while having enough time for other things that also matter to them. 

At the forefront of its campaign are its newest regional and local brand ambassadors who are known for their exceptional achievements, dedication to their respective crafts, and commitment to serve for a higher purpose. They also perfectly exemplify the “Takumi Spirit” coming from the Japanese concept of Takumi meaning “master craftsman”, a title given to individuals who have developed their skills with experience, judgment, and expertise. 

For its Regional Brand Ambassador, Toshiba introduced no other than Takashi Sorimachi, highly acclaimed Japanese actor and singer. He is well-known for his role as Eikichi Onizuka in the 1998 adaptation of the popular manga, “Great Teacher Onizuka”.
