The principal who leads the team and the riders taking on the 2026 season — meet the people behind Team Étoile.
Team Principal
Leading the team with the mindset of an IT start-up — through data and process.
Applies the structured, systematized, rapid-improvement mindset honed as an IT entrepreneur to running the race team.
Takes on the world through organizational strength — data-driven decisions and repeatable processes rather than individual intuition.
For 2026, Team Étoile lines up four riders — proven in Japan’s top categories and on the world stage — for the FIM EWC Superstock class, contesting all four rounds, including the home Suzuka 8 Hours, under team principal Takashi Ichikawa.
