Anker Japan Co., Ltd. Press release: September 18, 2025 To Members of the Press [Anker Japan] Anker becomes title sponsor of the Itsukushima Underwater Fireworks Festival! We will support the entire event, including product sales at the venue and the installation of fast-charging benches. Anker Japan has been appointed title sponsor of the Itsukushima Underwater Fireworks Festival, which will be held in Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture on Saturday, October 18, 2025. To enable visitors to enjoy the fireworks without worrying about charging their smartphones, we will be selling Anker Group products at the venue, installing fast-charging benches, and implementing various other initiatives. Anker Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ayumu Saruwatari), the Japanese subsidiary of the Anker Group, which boasts top sales of digital products primarily in the United States, Japan, and Europe, is pleased to announce that it has become the title sponsor of the Itsukushima Underwater Fireworks Festival, which will be held in Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture on Saturday, October 18, 2025. The “Itsukushima Underwater Fireworks Festival” is held in Miyajimacho, Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, a World Heritage Site famous for Itsukushima Shrine. For nearly 50 years, this fireworks festival, featuring “underwater fireworks,” in which fireworks are lit on the water and then thrown into the water, has been held here. This underwater fireworks festival, beloved by locals and many others, was discontinued after its final event in 2019. With the desire to pass on this underwater fireworks display to the next generation, it has been decided to hold the event again in a new form in 2025, the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima atomic bombing, with many wishes in mind, such as “wishing for peace,” “continuing Japan’s traditional culture” through fireworks, and “revitalizing the local community” in Hiroshima. With its mission of “Empowering Smarter Lives,” Anker Japan not only develops high-performance products equipped with the latest technology to enrich people’s lives through hardware, but also has committed itself to supporting regional revitalization by concluding disaster prevention agreements and comprehensive partnership agreements on regional revitalization with local governments. Anker Japan shares the same vision for the Itsukushima Underwater Fireworks Festival, and has therefore decided to become the title sponsor. On the day of the event, Anker Group products will be sold at the venue, and
fast-charging benches will be set up at Shamoji Square in front of Hiroshima Electric Railway Miyajimaguchi Station, so that people can enjoy the fireworks without worrying about the remaining charge on their smartphones. In addition, as the title sponsor, Anker will launch original fireworks in a vibrant and refreshing blue,
characteristic of the brand. Comment from Ayumu Saruwatari, CEO of Anker Japan: Anker Japan is honored to have the opportunity to participate as a sponsor at this memorable time when such a historic and traditional fireworks festival is being revived. We have prepared a variety of events to ensure that the many visitors to the fireworks display can enjoy the fireworks and stroll around the venue to their heart’s content without having to worry about charging their smartphones. We will continue to do our utmost to support such cultural activities rooted in the local community.
